Future update
Shouldn’t there be a new section about the confirmed 1.17 update on Java & Bedrock, as it won the MINECON Live 2020 Biome Vote? --37.223.125.14 11:57, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * No. Main space articles are about the game as it stands, including public beta versions available. There is no beta 1.17. At best, this information could be included in trivia. ~ Amatulic (talk) 14:58, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Gravelly Mountains+ has no difference to Gravelly Mountains
I found this in. These two biomes are no different, because I checked their files in the vanilla worldgen and they are the same. Even the terrain values are the same. I also used to check and they are identical. So I believe that the information written in the page is not correct. ManosSef (talk) 08:13, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

New mountains biomes.
New mountain biomes have been added to the bedrock edition beta. Information about them needs to be included here.
 * Not sure they are biomes so much as sub-types. Currently they're all redirects:
 * Lofty Peaks
 * Snow Capped Peaks
 * Snowy Slopes (this has goats)
 * Mountain Grove (this has rabbits)
 * Mountain Meadow
 * The new mountains are effectively new biomes, the "old mountains" are being renamed back to "Extreme Hills". Source. Pescavelho (talk) 11:35, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If you have any information on them (I don't play betas) give it a shot. Amatulic (talk) 23:36, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Extreme Hills
This page should probably be split into two, one named Mountains, the other Extreme Hills. Since the Java Edition Extreme Hills are still named Mountains, this should probably wait until after the update, but I figured I'd start the discussion now. PegasusDust (talk) 06:04, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , they're obviously entirely separate biome groups - we'll just add "for the biome which was once called mountains in JE, please see Extreme Hills" to the page. When JE mountains go back to being called "Extreme Hills" (which they likely will), there is no reason to oppose the split.--Canarussia (talk) 14:17, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Where did you get the idea that would change the mountain name back into extreme hills? It's more likely that BE's name will convert to JE (see Official pages/Bedrock Edition flatteningHumiebeetalk contribs 17:01, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It has been announced by a Java dev (Source), but I believe it's too early to call, we don't know how or if the split will be done. Pescavelho (talk) 22:21, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, now this needs to be done. The "old mountains" have been officially renamed to Extreme Hills on Java Edition as of 1.18 Experimental Snapshot 2. This page needs to be split to Extreme Hills and Mountains to avoid any further confusion. This makes a lot more sense given the new standards of mountain generation on Bedrock Edition, which they're aiming to replicate on Java by the way according to Henrik Kniberg to achieve "a mix of both styles". They said a lot of times that the new mountains are meant to be dramatic and contrasting by comparison to everything else, so I believe what they are aiming for on Java is making the new mountains more extreme and dotted out like on Bedrock Edition, then the Extreme Hills will occupy the more hilly and blended in terrain. Anyway that's just reasonable speculation. What we know is that they're officially seperate, and so they should be seperate here. Ziad El-Moursy (talk) 00:14, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Two things
First the history section missing the addition of mountain edge biome in release 1.1 Second any references to upcoming section?
 * For the 1st one, just add it to the history bar. The second one's source could be like the feedback or minecraft.net site announcing it.Humiebeetalk contribs 12:27, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
