Snowy Taiga Hills

The snowy taiga hills or cold taiga hills biome is a hills variant of the snowy taiga that no longer generates since Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and was removed in Java Edition.

Like all other hills biomes, snowy taiga hills featured hillier, more erratic terrain. These hills were somewhat steep, making this variant difficult for survival. Although this was a snowy biome, rivers generated inside snowy taiga hills were not replaced by frozen rivers. Pillager outposts and villages generated in this biome,‌[BE only] however, unlike the regular snowy taiga, igloos didn't generate here.

In Bedrock Edition, snowy taiga hills in older worlds still received updates. When generated through single biome or behavior packs, they can also generate new blocks.
