Minecraft:Stony Shore

Template:Infobox biome A stony shore or stone beach is a coastal Minecraft:biome that is almost entirely made of Minecraft:stone and Minecraft:gravel. Stony shores replace Minecraft:beach biomes in some mountainous areas.

Generation

A stony shore replaces normal beaches in areas with mountainous terrain at low erosion values. This often (but not necessarily) occurs near Minecraft:mountains or plateau biomes. Stony shores can generate in any temperature zone, meaning that they create a high contrast with snowy or dry biomes.

Because of their low erosion values, stony shores generate close to Minecraft:deep dark. Stony shores are not to be confused with the oceanic Minecraft:cliffs that generate at higher continentalness and weirdness.

Description

Stony shores are made entirely of Minecraft:stone and variants, with long strips of Minecraft:gravel. They are usually a steep drop into the water they border. Stony shores may generate at high enough elevations to have Minecraft:snow on their peaks (above Y=120±8), even when bordering warm biomes.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> However, most of the surface is too warm for snowfall and ice, resulting in a large contrast with snowy biomes.

Template:IN, buried treasure can sometimes generate at high altitudes; Template:IN, it doesn't generate here.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Minecraft:Ores are often exposed in stony shores.
