Minecraft:Snowy Beach

Template:Infobox biome A snowy beach or cold beach is a snowy variant of the Minecraft:beach biome that replaces it in snowy regions.

Generation

A snowy beach often generates around Minecraft:snowy plains, Minecraft:snowy taigas, or any of their variants. Because Minecraft:taiga biomes have the ability to generate in the same temperature as Minecraft:snowy plains, Minecraft:ice spikes, and Minecraft:snowy taigas, snowy beaches can sometimes generate next to taiga biomes, resulting in incorrect, weird, albeit intentional terrain generation.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Description

Snowy beaches are the same as regular beaches terrain-wise, being made mostly of sand, though their landscape is covered entirely in snow layers. The water surrounding snowy beaches freezes into Minecraft:ice due to the cold temperatures and these beaches often lead to Minecraft:frozen oceans.

Turtles cannot spawn here, but in Bedrock Edition Minecraft:rabbits can. Shipwrecks and buried treasure may still generate in this beach variant.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, snowy beaches use default atmospherics with a strong cold color grading, making the biome appear icy blue. They use cold sunlight, which is slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.
