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 frozen regions.

Generation

Snowy beaches replace Minecraft:beaches in the coldest temperature zones, where they may border Minecraft:snowy plains, Minecraft:ice spikes, Minecraft:snowy taigas, and regular Minecraft:taigas. Minecraft:Frozen rivers can cut through snowy beaches, and icebergs from the Minecraft:frozen ocean begin generating close to the land.

Not every snowy biome is separated from the frozen ocean by a snowy beach. Near Minecraft:mountains, Minecraft:stony shores often replace snowy beaches, even though they are not as cold.

Description

Snowy beaches are the same as regular beaches terrain-wise, being made mostly of sand with sandstone underneath. The temperature in snowy beaches is low enough to allow Minecraft:snowfall, covering the sand in Minecraft:snow and freezing the water around.

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.
