Snowy Taiga

A snowy taiga is an uncommon snowy biome, often generating adjacent to or within a snowy tundra. The biome family includes three individual biome variants.

Description
Snowy taigas are technically the coldest biomes in the game.

Snowy taigas are similar to their snowless varieties, featuring large numbers of spruce trees, rabbits, white-coated foxes and wolves. Aqua-colored plants like ferns and sweet berry bushes are less common compared to snowless taigas.

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 terrain is also less flat than regular taigas; 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.

Occasionally, igloos may generate within the trees as in snowy tundras. Villages and outposts can't generate here.

Bedrock Edition
Most of the snow layers are stacked, the water has a purplish tone and the leaves of the trees become white as in snowy tundras during snowfalls. Villages and pillager outposts can generate as well.

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 tundra outfit.

Variants
There are a total of three different snowy taiga biome varieties.

Snowy Taiga Hills
Like all other hills biomes, snowy taiga hills feature 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 is 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.
