Trivia

• Due to a bug, multiplayer servers generate Minecraft:sky dimension chunks starting in this version.Template:Verify The biome of these chunks is random if saved in multiplayer, however, if they are saved in singleplayer, they change to plains biomes, no matter if snow had generated in the chunks. This was fixed in Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4.
