Snowy Taiga Mountains

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

The very rare snowy taiga mountains featured much steeper terrain than the snowy taiga hills, but not as mountainous as the windswept hills. Similarly to the taiga mountains, this variant reached high elevations. The steep elevations made this biome difficult for survival. Structures didn't generate here. Although this was a snowy biome, rivers generated inside snowy taiga mountains were not replaced by frozen rivers.

Because snowy taigas were already very rare, this biome variant was the third rarest in the game, behind the modified badlands plateau and the modified jungle edge.
