Modified Badlands Plateau

The modified badlands plateau or mesa plateau mutated is a rare variant of the badlands plateau that no longer generates since Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and was removed in Java Edition.

The modified badlands plateau featured smaller plateaus and somewhat harsher terrain than the badlands plateau, mimicking large plateaus that have weathered more over time. Because of the more variable elevation of the plateaus, more colors of stained terracotta were exposed. Eroded badlands replaced the usual thin desert border that this biome variant shared with other biomes, while beaches separated them from oceans.

The modified badlands plateau was the second rarest biome in Minecraft, after the modified jungle edge, and was only present in about 1/5 of the badlands biomes, and almost always came with an eroded badlands bordering the edges and modified wooded badlands plateaus surrounding it at the center.
