Frozen Peaks

Frozen Peaks is a high-altitude mountain biome found at some of the coldest to moderately cold temperature ranges in Minecraft. Its terrain is sculpted from ice and packed ice, blanketed by layers of snow and snow blocks. Elevations can vary from modest peaks just above Y=160 all the way up to jagged, towering formations approaching the world height limit near Y=256. At lower elevations, Frozen Peaks is typically bordered by grove and snowy slopes biomes, with meadows and other plateau biomes appearing further down the mountainside.

The surface and cliff walls of Frozen Peaks are defined by large glaciers of packed ice alongside scattered patches of regular ice. Underground, emerald ore and infested stone generate with notable frequency, making cave exploration both rewarding and hazardous. Pillager outposts occasionally appear on the steep cliff faces, sometimes even rising above the standard terrain ceiling. Directly beneath Frozen Peaks, a Deep Dark biome is guaranteed to generate, while dripstone caves are common at mid-depth and lush caves appear on occasion.

In terms of wildlife, goats are the primary passive mob found in Frozen Peaks across both Java and Bedrock editions. Bedrock Edition also adds rabbits and polar bears to the spawn list. After nightfall, strays join the usual roster of hostile mobs, making travel across the ice-covered slopes considerably more dangerous. When the Vibrant Visuals feature is enabled, Frozen Peaks takes on a distinctly icy-blue tone through cold color grading and adjusted sunlight settings.
