Snowy Taiga

A snowy taiga is a rare snow-covered biome that comprises a forest of spruce trees, ferns and large ferns, usually generating adjacent to or within snowy plains.

Description
Snowy taigas are similar to their snowless varieties, featuring large numbers of spruce trees, rabbits, white-coated foxes and wolves. Aqua-colored plants like tall grass, ferns and sweet berry bushes are less common compared to taigas. Dandelions and poppies can also still be found. The main distinction are the snow layers that cover almost the entire landscape, save for the ground protected by the leaves of spruce trees. The gelid temperatures of the snowy taiga means that any exposed water freezes into ice, though lakes that generate within the taiga are often partially protected by the leaves of the trees, meaning lakes aren't usually completely frozen.

Igloos may generate here, as can villages and outposts $$. Villages generated here use the same architecture as normal taiga villages, but all of the roofs are covered by stacked snow. The water in village farms is frozen, leading to the crops uprooting. Villagers wear the snowy plains outfit. Also in Bedrock, most of the snow layers are stacked, the water has an unique tone and the leaves of the trees become white as in snowy plains during snowfalls.

Removed/unused varities
The following biomes have become unused in Bedrock Edition and removed in Java Edition.

Snowy Taiga Hills
Like all other hills biomes, snowy taiga hills featured hillier, more erratic terrain. These hills are somewhat steep, making this variant difficult for survival mode. Pillager outposts and villages can generate in this biome, however, unlike the regular snowy taiga, igloos cannot generate here.

Snowy taiga hills use the same mob spawning chances as snowy taigas.

Snowy Taiga Mountains
The very rare snowy taiga mountains features much steeper terrain than the hills. Similarly to the taiga mountains, this variant can reach high elevations. The steep elevations make this biome difficult for survival. Buildings do not generate here. This biome was the third rarest in the game, behind modified badlands plateau and modified jungle edge.

Snowy taiga mountains use the same mob spawning chances as snowy taigas.
