Minecraft:Jagged Peaks

Template:Infobox biome The jagged peaks are one of the tall Minecraft:mountain peak biomes. These tall and jagged mountains are completely made out of Minecraft:stone covered by a layer of Minecraft:snow blocks.

Generation

Jagged peaks generate at the highest points of the surrounding landscape where erosion is low, weirdness is negative, and temperatures are cold to temperate. They take on many shapes, from small snow-capped hilltops to mountain ranges stretching hundreds of blocks, and can rise as high as the generation limit of Y=256.

Slope biomes, such as Minecraft:groves and Minecraft:snowy slopes, typically surround jagged peaks and act as a transition to flatter biomes like Minecraft:meadows, Minecraft:forests, Minecraft:taigas, and Minecraft:plains, though jagged peaks can also border those biomes directly.

Minecraft:Frozen peaks never border jagged peaks, but the two can generate nearby, separated by a Minecraft:river or valley. Near the Minecraft:ocean, the terrain is also steep, featuring massive cliffs at the shoreline.

Due to its low erosion, the Minecraft:deep dark is extremely common beneath jagged peaks. Higher up, Minecraft:dripstone caves are common, while Minecraft:lush caves may generate instead if humidity is high.

Description

The blocks that make up the jagged peaks are almost entirely raw terrain blocks like Minecraft:stone with many exposed Minecraft:ores. Notably, Minecraft:emerald ore, Minecraft:iron ore, and Minecraft:coal ore are more common and Minecraft:infested stone generates deeper underground.

The terrain is covered by one layer of Minecraft:snow blocks which are covered by Minecraft:snow layers. Just like the Minecraft:snowy slopes, stone cliffs can generate in steep sides to the east or north with only a layer of Minecraft:snow covering them.

Minecraft:Pillager outposts are the only structures that can generate here, and they often form large foundations of cobblestone due to the tall cliffs. Minecraft:Goats can spawn frequently in this biome, and Template:In, Minecraft:rabbits and Minecraft:polar bears can also spawn here, as well as Minecraft:strays and Minecraft:frostbites.Template:Upcoming

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, jagged peaks 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.
