Changes: Mountains

Revision as of 00:14, 7 July 2022

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.

This article describes content that may be included in Minecraft Education.

This content has appeared in Minecraft Education 1.18.10 development versions, but the full update containing it has not been released yet.

Mountains refer to six somewhat rare cold, snowy, and temperate biomes.

Description

These are the six related sub-biomes that generate in mountainous terrain in areas with low erosion values. They all can generate pillager outposts, with the meadow also being able to generate villages and snowy slopes being able to generate igloos. Some of these biomes are the only places where goats can spawn in the game. Just like the windswept hills, emerald ores can be found in these biomes, especially at higher altitudes and both coal and iron ores are commonly found in the peaks.

Variants

There are six sub-biomes that can make up the mountains.

Slopes

These are the three biomes that can make up the slopes of mountains.

Meadow

The meadow is a grassy biome filled with patches of flowers and turquoise-green grass and tall grass, where sheep, donkeys and rabbits spawn. All small flowers generate except blue orchids, tulips, lilies of the valley or wither roses. Rarely, a lone oak or birch tree of any size can generate and always has a bee nest. Both pillager outposts and plains villages can generate in this biome, making this the only mountain biome where villages can generate. This biome usually generates in the lower sides of some mountains but can also generate standalone in plateaus, mainly next to plains and other temperate biomes.

Grove

The grove creates a forest of spruce trees on the sides of a mountain, reminiscent of a snowy taiga but the surface is covered with snow layers, snow blocks, dirt and a lot of powder snow instead of grass blocks. Rabbits, wolves and red foxes can spawn in this biome. This biome generates in high altitudes beneath the peaks and on hilltops next to forested biomes such as dark forests and taigas, and can generate as a large biome at lower altitudes if next to snowy biomes.

Grove use the same mob spawning chances as windswept hills for hostile and ambient categories. As for others:

Snowy slopes

The snowy slopes is a mostly barren biome covered in snow, multiple layers of snow blocks and powder snow, with some sides also having stone cliffs. Goats spawn in this biome alongside rabbits. This is the only mountain biome where igloos can generate. Just like the grove, this biome generates at the slopes of the mountain, beneath the peaks and in hilltops, usually in areas with less forested biomes, such as plains and snowy tundras, and can start generating at lower altitudes in snowy regions. Polar Bears can spawn in this biome. ‌^{[BE only]}

Peaks

There are three peak biomes that generate only at the tops of the mountains, if they are tall enough to generate them, and are dependant on the surrounding biomes' temperatures.

Jagged peaks

The jagged peaks biome generates in regions with snowy, cold and temperate biomes and is more likely to generate in taller and more jagged and pointy peaks that often pass the clouds and can peak at y=256. It is covered by a single layer of snow blocks with stone underneath often exposing ores such as coal, iron and emerald, and just like the snowy slopes, stone cliffs can generate in some sides of the mountain. Only goats spawn in this biome.

In Java Edition, jagged peaks use the same mob spawning chances as windswept hills for hostile and ambient categories. As for others:

In Java Edition :

Mob	Spawn weight	Group size
Creature category
Goat	1	1–3

In Bedrock Edition, jagged peaks use the same mob spawning chances as snowy slopes for hostile and passive categories.

Frozen peaks

The frozen peaks are covered by snow, snow blocks, with glaciers of packed ice and occasional small blobs of ice. Only goats can spawn in this biome. This biome usually generates in smaller and smoother hills near snowy, cold and temperate biomes, but it can also generate in slightly jagged and taller peaks but less compared to the jagged peaks biome.

In Java Edition, frozen peaks use the same mob spawning chances as jagged peaks for passive category, and windswept hills for hostile and ambient category.

In Bedrock Edition, frozen peaks use the same mob spawning chances as snowy slopes for hostile and passive categories.

Stony peaks

The stony peaks are a warmer variation of both the jagged peaks and the frozen peaks biomes that generates when a mountain peak is in a region with lukewarm biomes such as savannas and jungles, and it doesn't generate snowy slopes or groves in the slopes of the mountain, unless there's a colder biome bordering the peak. It is mainly covered by stone with large strips of calcite and exposed ores. The grass and foliage in this biome have a unique vibrant light green tint, similar to the tint of a windswept savanna in Bedrock Edition.

In Java Edition, stony peaks use the same mob spawning chances as jagged peaks for the hostile and ambient categories. No mobs spawn as part of the passive category.

In Bedrock Edition, stony peaks use the same mob spawning chances as meadow for hostile category. As for others:

The pickaxe has a 50% chance of being enchanted with random enchantment(s). == Usage == === Mining === A pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a pickaxe consumes one use (one durability point). No durability is consumed for blocks that break instantly. Pickaxes have different amounts of uses based on the type: * Wooden: 60 * Stone: 132 * Iron: 251 * Golden: 33 * Diamond: 1562 * Netherite: 2032 Different qualities of pickaxe are required to successfully harvest certain ores and blocks. For example, while [[stone]] can be mined with any pickaxe, [[gold ore]] must be mined with an [[iron]], [[diamond]], or [[netherite]] pickaxe, or else the player harvests no ore. Different pickaxes also mine many materials at different speeds: ==== Speed ==== The following table shows the time it takes to break each type of block. * A <span style="background-color:#FFC7CE;color:#9C0006;">red</span> background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe. * A <span style="background-color:#FFFFDD;color:#8A7600;">yellow</span> background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe, but still drops something. * A <span style="background-color:#C6EFCE;color:#006100;">green</span> background indicates that the block can be harvested with that type of pickaxe. <!-- Table is sorted by hardness (mining time with diamond shows well), then by name --> {\|class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" data-description="Mining time by block" style="background-color: transparent;" !

Lava may be obtained [[renewable resource\|renewably]] from [[cauldron]]s, as [[pointed dripstone]] with a lava source above it can slowly fill a cauldron with lava. === Natural generation === During world generation, lava replaces [[air]] blocks generated in [[cave]]s and [[canyon]]s between Y=-55 and Y=-63. [[Aquifer]]s are sometimes filled with lava below Y=0. Lava does not replace air blocks inside [[mineshaft]]s, [[monster room]]s, [[amethyst geode]]s, or [[stronghold]]s. Lava can also occur as lava flows from a single [[spring]] block, pouring down walls into pools. The spring block can be on the side of a cave, ravine, mineshaft, or stone cliff above ground. Lava also generates as small [[lava lake]]s, which can be found above Y=0 within any [[biome]]. Two blocks of lava can also be found in plains, snowy plains, and desert [[village]] weaponsmith buildings, or one source in savanna village weaponsmith buildings. Fifteen blocks of lava can be found in the [[end portal]] room of a [[stronghold]]: 3 along each side wall, and 9 below the portal frame. Lava also generates in [[woodland mansion]]s: two blocks of lava generate in the "blacksmith room", and 25 blocks of lava generate in a secret "lava room". In [[the Nether]], lava is more common than [[water]] in the [[Overworld]]. [[Terrain features#Lava sea\|Seas of lava]] occur, with sea level at y-level 32, about a quarter of the total height of the Nether (as the usable space in the Nether is 128 blocks tall). They can extend down to about y-level 19-22. Lava also randomly appears [[Spring#Hidden lava\|in single blocks]] inside [[netherrack]] formations. Lava is also generated as a single source in well rooms in [[nether fortress]]es. There are also large pockets of lava generated under y-19 and can reach all the way down to bedrock level. These pockets are generally over 12 blocks in height and often connect to a large lava lake on y-32; the size of these pockets in 1.18 can range from the size of a singular pre-1.18 ravine to multiple ravines combined. Lava generates as [[delta]] shapes, which can be found commonly in the [[basalt deltas]] biome. Lava also generates in [[ruined portal]]s and [[bastion remnant]]s. === Post-generation === Unlike [[Water#Source blocks\|water source blocks]], new lava source blocks cannot be created in a space by two or more adjacent source blocks. However {{in\|Java}}, if the [[game rule]] {{cd\|lavaSourceConversion}} is set to {{cd\|true}}, new lava source blocks can form in a similar way to water source blocks. == Usage == === Fuel === When used in a [[furnace]], a bucket of lava lasts 1000 seconds (100 items). === Burning === [[File:Inside Lava.png\|thumb\|What it looks like inside lava.]] [[File:Under lava fire resistance.png\|thumb\|What it looks like inside lava using Fire Resistance {{in\|java}}.]] Most [[entity\|entities]] take {{hp\|4}} damage every half-second while in contact with lava, and are set on [[fire]]. An entity/player in lava will also have its {{code\|remainingFireTicks}} set to 300, setting it on fire for 15 seconds. This timer is reset to 300 every tick that the victim spends in lava, so it will only start counting down once the victim leaves the lava. Once the victim does exit the lava source, it will burn for just under 15 seconds, taking fire damage 14 times. This is due to the fact that for the first tick outside of lava, its {{code\|remainingFireTicks}} decrease to 299, and entities take fire damage when {{code\|remainingFireTicks}} is a multiple of 20 and greater than 0. If the victim touches water or [[rain]] falls on it, the fire is extinguished, but the lava continues to damage them directly. In addition, a dense [[fog]] effect will be applied for players under lava to obscure vision. This can be slightly mitigated via the [[Fire Resistance]] effect. An entity/player moving in lava has their horizontal movement speed reduced by 50% and their vertical movement speed reduced by 20%. {{IN\|bedrock}}, a player with the Fire Resistance effect or a total [[Fire Protection]] of 7 or higher does not catch fire. [[Vex]]es, [[zoglin]]s, Nether [[mob]]s (excluding [[piglin]]s and [[hoglin]]s), [[Wither\|withers]], [[Warden\|wardens]], and players or mobs affected by the [[Fire Resistance]] effect are not damaged when touching lava. The embers or fireballs that fly out of lava are purely decorative and do not cause fires or damage to entities. When rain falls on lava, the black ember particles appear more frequently. A player in lava lasts a few seconds before dying: ==== ''Java Edition'' ==== * 2.5 seconds with no armor * 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments * 4 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments * 4.5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments * 5.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments * 10.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments * 11 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments ==== Bedrock Edition==== * 2.5 seconds with no armor * 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments * 4.5 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments * 5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments * 6.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments * 12.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments * 12.5 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments If the player is wearing armor enchanted with [[Fire Protection]], they can last even longer. With the maximum bonus, the damage is small enough that the natural healing from a full hunger bar can outpace it {{only\|JE\|short=1}}, so a player could survive indefinitely as long as they have food and their armor holds up (non-netherite armor is damaged by lava). This maximum bonus can be obtained by wearing 2 pieces of armor with [[Fire Protection\|Fire Protection IV]] and 1 with [[Protection\|Protection IV]], or 1 piece of armor with [[Fire Protection\|Fire Protection IV]] and 3 with [[Protection\|Protection IV]]. ==== Fire spread ==== Lava can cause fires by turning air blocks to fire blocks. In order for air above lava to turn to fire, a block adjacent to the air has to be [[Fire#Burning blocks\|flammable]], or one of the wood-constructed [[Fire#Non-flammable blocks\|non-flammable]] blocks. Since catching fire depends on air blocks, even torches or lava itself can prevent a flammable block from catching fire. Additionally, not all flammable or wood-constructed blocks can be ignited by lava. The lava of any depth can start fires this way, whether or not it appears to have a current. Additional conditions must be met, depending on the edition of Minecraft. ===== Java Edition ===== {{FakeImage\|align=right\|{{BlockGrid\|scale=2\|L=lava\|w=Oak Planks\|p=Orange Stained Glass\|s=Light Gray Stained Glass\|wwwwwwwww\|wwsssssww\|wspppppsw\|wwspppsww\|wwwsLswww\|wwwwwwwww}}\|Example for JE. The orange area represents areas<br>where air could catch flame if the<br>gray and orange areas contain<br>flammable blocks. The wood<br>is all at a safe distance. }} Air block must be in a 3×1×3 area right above the lava or in a 5×1×5 2 blocks above the lava. Note that an air block in the 5x1x5 area will not catch on fire if the 3x1x3 area is completely filled, even if the latter is filled with flammable blocks. ===== Bedrock Edition ===== The block to be set on fire must be in a 3×3×3 cube centered on a lava block, above which there must be either air or an ignitable block. === Flow === {{See also\|Fluid}} Lava flows from "source blocks". Most streams or "lava-falls" come from a single source block, but lava lakes (including the "flood lava" in the bottom 10 layers) are composed entirely of source blocks. A source block can be captured only with a [[lava bucket\|bucket]]. In the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], lava travels 3 blocks in any horizontal direction from a source block. Lava flows far more slowly than water (1 block every 30 game ticks, or 1.5 seconds), and sourceless lava flows linger for a short time more. In [[the Nether]], lava travels 7 blocks horizontally and spreads 1 block every 10 game ticks, or 2 blocks per second, which is half the speed as water in the Overworld. In all dimensions, lava spreading uses the same mechanic as water: for every adjacent block it can flow into it tries to find a way down that is reachable in four or fewer blocks from the block it wants to flow to. When found, the flow weight for that direction is set to the shortest path distance to the way down. (This can result in lava flows turning toward dropoffs that they cannot reach in the Overworld and the End.) Flowing lava destroys the following in its path: [[sapling]]s, [[cobweb]], [[tall grass]], [[dead bush]], [[wheat]], [[flower]]s, [[mushroom]]s, [[snow]] on ground (but snow blocks are immune), [[lily pad]]s, [[vines]], [[lever]]s, [[button]]s, all three types of [[torch]]es, [[redstone]], [[redstone repeater\|repeaters]], [[end rod]]s, and [[rail]]s. [[Sugar cane]]s hold back lava, but disappear if the sugar cane's water source is destroyed by the lava. Lava also slows down entities, including those that are normally immune to lava damage. Using redstone wire, a one-block lava flow can be redirected by supplying power to the source block, which causes it to reset the flow toward the now-nearest terrain depression. It cannot, however, be reversed. This re-calculation is made because of the redstone wire when toggled changes the block from redstone (on) to redstone (off). Whenever a block updates on any side of the lava, the lava re-calculates where to flow, but does not cut off its current direction of flow. In Bedrock Edition using the /setblock command can be used to create stationary lava without the use of barriers. Flowing lava can push entities. ==== Flow arrangement tables ==== ===== Overworld and the End ===== {\| class="wikitable" \|+ \| \| \| !4 \| \| \| \|- \| \| !4 !3 !4 \| \| \|- \| !4 !3 !2 !3 !4 \| \|- !4 !3 !2 !1 !2 !3 !4 \|- \| !4 !3 !2 !3 !4 \| \|- \| \| !4 !3 !4 \| \| \|- \| \| \| !4 \| \| \| \|} {\| class="wikitable" \|+ ! colspan="2" \|Range !Height in blocks \|- !1 \|block \|1 \|- !2 \|blocks \|0.75-1 \|- !3 \|blocks \|0.5-0.75 \|- !4 \|blocks \|0.25-0.5 \|} ===== The Nether ===== {\| class="wikitable" \|+ \| \| \| \| \| \| !7 \| \| \| \| \| \| \|- \| \| \| \| \| !7 !6 !7 \| \| \| \| \| \|- \| \| \| \| !7 !6 !5 !6 !7 \| \| \| \| \|- \| \| \| !7 !6 !5 !4 !5 !6 !7 \| \| \| \|- \| \| !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 \| \| \|- \| !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !2 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 \| \|- !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !2 !1 !2 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 \|- \| !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !2 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 \| \|- \| \| !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 \| \| \|- \| \| \| !7 !6 !5 !4 !5 !6 !7 \| \| \| \|- \| \| \| \| !7 !6 !5 !6 !7 \| \| \| \| \|- \| \| \| \| \| !7 !6 !7 \| \| \| \| \| \|- \| \| \| \| \| \| !7 \| \| \| \| \| \| \|} {\| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" \|Range !Height in blocks \|- !1 \|block \|1 \|- !2 \|blocks \|0.75-1 \|- !3 \|blocks \|0.625-0.75 \|- !4 \|blocks \|0.5-0.625 \|- !5 \|blocks \|0.375-0.5 \|- !6 \|blocks \|0.25-0.375 \|- !7 \|blocks \|0.125-0.25 \|} === Lava and water === {{Main\|Fluid#Mixing}} Water and lava can produce [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], or [[obsidian]] based on how they interact. Lava can also generate basalt when above soul soil and touching blue ice. === Light source === Lava blocks emit a [[light]] level of 15. === Other === [[File:LavaDropletsExample.png\|thumb\|If there is lava flowing above a [[block]], the lava seeps through.]] Lava above a non-transparent block (does ''not'' include stairs, fences, and slabs) produces dripping particles on the underside of that block. These droplets do not do anything other than warn the player that a deluge of lava lies above that block. The particles function identically to their water counterparts, except that they drip slower. Flowing lava can set off tripwires because it breaks placed string. Lava triggers a tripwire only once. Any [[item (entity)\|item]] dropped into lava is immediately destroyed, except for [[netherite]]-related items. [[Lodestone\|Lodestones]], however, can be destroyed by lava despite containing netherite.<ref>{{bug\|MC-176618\|\|\|WAI}}</ref> Lava can be placed in an empty [[cauldron]].
