Minecraft:Beach

Beaches are common coastal Minecraft:biomes that serve as transition biomes from the mainland to an Minecraft:ocean. Beaches are covered entirely with Minecraft:sand and are the main source of Minecraft:turtles and Minecraft:buried treasures.

Generation

Beaches generate on the coast. Beaches do not always surround land biomes, allowing them to border the ocean. Beaches sometimes can also generate bordering Minecraft:rivers or be completely landlocked.

Description

Beaches don't have many resources of their own. Minecraft:Buried treasures often generate buried under most beaches, and Minecraft:shipwrecks occasionally generate on beaches. Minecraft:Turtles may spawn on regular beaches, and along with rabbits in snowy beaches Template:In, they are the only Minecraft:passive mobs that can spawn in beach biomes, although other passive mobs can wander into beaches from surrounding biomes. Minecraft:Drowned often spawn in the water surrounding beaches. Minecraft:Ocean ruins generated in the ocean nearby may spread onto beaches, causing some ruins to form on land.

Beaches are composed of mostly Minecraft:sand, with some Minecraft:gravel, Minecraft:dirt, and Minecraft:clay patches under the Minecraft:water, similarly to Minecraft:rivers. Like the sand in Minecraft:deserts, Minecraft:sandstone generates underneath it. Beach terrain is usually a smooth descent into the water, though it can vary in steepness and width.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, beaches use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Beaches have default atmospherics, lighting, and color grading like temperate biomes.
