Minecraft:Giant Spruce Taiga Hills

Template:Removed feature Template:Unobtainable Template:Infobox biome The giant spruce taiga hills or redwood taiga hills mutated was a modified hills variant of the old growth pine taiga that no longer generates since Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and has been removed in Java Edition.

Description

The giant spruce taiga hills was a variant intended to be a more mountainous version of the Template:Abbr, like all other hills biomes. However, both Minecraft:Java Edition and Minecraft:Bedrock Edition had generation issues.

Template:IN, due to a likely error in the way terrain height is calculated, there was no difference in the terrain between giant spruce taiga and giant spruce taiga hills. Specifically, the game used internal values known as Template:Code and Template:Code when generating hills biomes, but these values were the same for both giant spruce taiga and giant spruce taiga hills, resulting in no actual difference between the two. This was the only hills biome in the game with this issue.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Template:IN, this biome generated as a much hillier version of the giant spruce taiga, even more mountainous than regular hills biomes.Template:Verify The hills often reached the generation limit, and the tall trees made this the biome with the second highest blocks (up to Y=158), after the shattered savanna plateau. However, this biome generated the same trees as the Minecraft:giant tree taiga hills (not giant spruce trees, but giant pine trees), making this biome hardly distinctable from the giant tree taiga hills.
