Badlands

The badlands or mesa are arid-land mountainous biomes, featuring red sand and mounds of terracotta bands, coming in various colors. Badlands generate in arid lands next to deserts and their eroded and wooded variants.

Badlands biomes generate at the highest temperature and lower erosion, meaning they border deserts near oceans with stony shores at lower altitudes. Badlands biomes often border their wooded and eroded variants. Near lower temperature zones, they border savannas, forests, and plains.

Badlands generate from mid-altitude plateaus and valleys up to the highest mountain peaks where they can elevate up to Y=256 and border stony peaks. Rivers are often in deep fjords, wide valleys with almost no water, or they do not generate at all.
