Minecraft:Eroded Badlands

Template:Infobox biome The eroded badlands or mesa bryce biome is a variant of the Minecraft:badlands notable for its hoodoos.

Generation

Eroded badlands generate in place of regular badlands in positive weirdness when Minecraft:humidity values are low, which often results in eroded badlands getting separated from badlands by a river or dry valley.

Biomes that often border eroded badlands include Minecraft:deserts near lower terrain and Minecraft:oceans, regular badlands, Minecraft:savannas, Minecraft:savanna plateaus, Minecraft:plains, and uncommonly Minecraft:forests. Badlands can also generate in Minecraft:mountain peaks, where they can elevate up to Y=256 and border Minecraft:stony peaks. The Minecraft:deep dark and Minecraft:dripstone caves might generate beneath eroded badlands.

Description

The biome generates similar to regular badlands, with red, orange, yellow, white, light gray, brown, and regular Minecraft:terracotta forming the landscape. Lower grounds are mostly made of Minecraft:red sand and Minecraft:red sandstone, with brown terracotta underneath. Minecraft:Dead bushes grow on terracotta and red sand, while Minecraft:cacti along with occasional Minecraft:cactus flowers only appear on red sand. Like all badlands biomes, Minecraft:gold ore generates more frequently and closer to the surface, and Minecraft:mineshafts made out of dark oak can also be found, often exposed to air.

Minecraft:Rainfall never occurs in eroded badlands, as the biome is arid, and Minecraft:lightning never strikes here.

Eroded badlands feature unique formations of terracotta hoodoos, narrow spires that rise up from the red sand floor of the biome's drainage basins. The hoodoos only generate at lower elevations. At higher elevations, the biome is indistinct from the regular badlands. The biome is intended to resemble the famous Bryce Canyon in Utah, USA, which features hoodoos across its landscape.

Mobs found within eroded badlands are the same as regular badlands: Farm animals can only spawn on player-created Minecraft:grass blocks in this biome, and generate their warm variants. Minecraft:Armadillos also inhabit eroded badlands.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, eroded badlands have unique atmospherics, the sky is tinted turquoise-green at daytime and much brighter during the night, while the daytime horizon is tinted brown. Moonlight is more vibrant blue, and the warm color grading tints the environment more yellow, although color saturation is slightly lower.

History

Eroded badlands before Caves & Cliffs

Before Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs, eroded badlands were a mutation of the Minecraft:badlands biome, both having flat terrain and no plateaus. It generated similarly to badlands as an edge around rare dry temperature zone or as small spots within badlands plateaus, but surrounding biomes were often mutated as well into modified badlands plateaus and modified wooded badlands plateaus. Unlike regular badlands, no Minecraft:desert border generated next to temperate biomes, and Minecraft:beaches did generate next to oceans.

The hoodoos in eroded badlands often lined up with the larger badlands plateaus, although they could extend much higher.
