Minecraft:Mountain Edge

Template:Unobtainable Template:Removed feature Template:Infobox biome The mountain edge or extreme hills edge is an unused edge variant of the mountains that generated before Minecraft:The Update that Changed the World, and was removed in Minecraft:Java Edition 1.18.

Description

Old

Before Minecraft:Java Edition 1.7.2, all Template:Abbr used to generate a mountain edge surrounding the whole biome. Similarly to the Minecraft:sparse jungle biome, it was a technical biome intended to provide a smooth transition from other biomes to the mountains. It was nearly identical to the extreme hills biome, but with gentler slopes. Minecraft:Snowfall occurred above Y=90±8.

After this update, they became unused but were still available in Minecraft:Single Biome, before they were removed entirely. They continued receiving updates and appeared identical to the Minecraft:wooded mountains with more trees. After Minecraft:Java Edition 1.17, they also spawned Minecraft:goats and Minecraft:axolotls. The mountain edge has never generated in Bedrock Edition and was unused since its addition, similar to the Minecraft:legacy frozen ocean.

Current

Template:IN, mountain edges still receive updates, when generated through Minecraft:single biome or Minecraft:behavior packs.

They appear identical to the current Minecraft:wooded mountains biome, with Minecraft:snowfall above Y=120±8, a quite dense vegetation of Minecraft:oak and Minecraft:spruce trees and patches of Minecraft:bushes on the grassland. Minecraft:Llamas spawn here as well as warm Minecraft:animal variants.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, mountain edges use default environmental settings with a coolish color grading, making the biome appear colder blue. They use cold sunlight, which is slightly brighter at sunrise and sunset.
