Minecraft:Snowy Taiga

Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox biomeA snowy taiga or cold taiga is an icy Minecraft:biome that comprises a snow-covered forest of pine and spruce Minecraft:trees, Minecraft:ferns and large ferns, and Minecraft:sweet berry bushes, usually generating adjacent to or within Minecraft:snowy plains.

Generation

Snowy taigas are most commonly bordered by Minecraft:snowy plains, Minecraft:groves, Minecraft:snowy beaches, and regular Minecraft:taigas, and often separated from Minecraft:snowy plains by Minecraft:rivers.

Description

Snowy taigas are similar to regular Minecraft:taiga, featuring large numbers of Minecraft:spruce trees, Minecraft:ferns, Minecraft:rabbits, snow Minecraft:foxes and ashen Minecraft:wolves. Minecraft:Sweet berry bushes are less common compared to regular taiga. Minecraft:Poppies and Minecraft:dandelions can also still be found. The main distinction are the snow layers that cover almost the entire landscape, save for the ground protected by the leaves of spruce trees. The gelid temperature of the snowy taiga means that any exposed Minecraft:water freezes into Minecraft:ice, though lakes that generate within the taiga are often partially protected by the leaves of the trees, meaning lakes aren't usually completely frozen.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, snowy taigas use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Snowy taigas have default atmospherics and lighting similar to temperate biomes, but strong cold color grading tints the environment with an icy blue color.

Minecraft:Igloos and Minecraft:trail ruins may generate here, but Minecraft:villages and Minecraft:pillager outposts cannot Template:In<ref>Template:Bug</ref>, although Template:In they can. Villages generated here use the same architecture as normal taiga villages, but all of the roofs are covered by stacked snow. The water in village farms is frozen, leading to the crops uprooting. Minecraft:Villagers wear the snowy plains outfit. Also, Template:In, the water has a unique tone, and during Minecraft:snowfall snow layers build up and the Minecraft:leaves of the trees become white. Because of its slightly high humidity, Minecraft:lush caves can possibly generate under snowy taigas, although, when the snowy taiga generate far inland, Minecraft:dripstone caves may generate under the snowy taiga instead.
