Description

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.

Mobs

Snowy taiga hills used the same mob spawning chances as snowy taigas.

The following mobs spawned naturally here:
