Minecraft:Frozen Peaks

Template:For Template:Infobox biome Frozen peaks are snowy Minecraft:mountain peak biomes covered by Minecraft:snow blocks, containing large amounts of Minecraft:ice and Minecraft:packed ice.

Generation

Frozen peaks generate at the highest points of the surrounding terrain where erosion is low, temperatures are low to moderate, and weirdness is positive. They generate as small hilltops, a large singular peak, a ring of peaks surrounding a valley, or as a large range reaching the generation height limit of Y=256.

As a mountain peak biome, they are often surrounded by slope biomes such as groves and snowy slopes, which may act as transitionary boundaries between the frozen peaks and plateau biomes like meadows, cherry groves, or pale gardens. They may also directly border these plateau biomes instead, as well as forests, Minecraft:plains, and birch forests, and taigas. Frozen peaks rarely border Minecraft:stony peaks when temperature increases.

Frozen peaks are separated from Minecraft:jagged peaks by valleys. Rarely, frozen peaks can generate coastally, where surrounding terrain may get cut off into massive cliffs.

The Minecraft:deep dark is extremely common below frozen peaks. Above this, Minecraft:dripstone caves are common, though Minecraft:lush caves may generate instead if humidity is high. Minecraft:Ice caves sometimes generate if temperatures are low.Template:Upcoming

Description

The mountainous terrain of frozen peaks is covered by snow and snow blocks, with glaciers of Minecraft:packed ice and occasional small blobs of Minecraft:ice. Minecraft:Packed ice cliffs can generate in steep sides to the east or north with only a layer of snow covering them.Template:Only

Like all other mountain biomes, Minecraft:emerald ore and Minecraft:infested stone commonly generates underground. Minecraft:Pillager outposts may generate on the steep cliffs, sometimes reaching above the terrain generation limit. The only passive mobs that spawn here are Minecraft:goats, as well as Minecraft:rabbits and Minecraft:polar bears Template:In. Minecraft:Strays and Minecraft:frostbites Template:Upcoming spawn here at night or during thunderstorms Template:In.

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