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

Description

The terrain in taiga mountains was much steeper than in the regular taiga and taiga hills, with peaks occasionally crossing the snowfall line, making this a more difficult variant among the taiga family. However, it wasn't as mountainuous as the windswept hills.

Villages and pillager outposts didn't generate in this biome, though wolves and foxes still spawned.

Mobs

Taiga mountains used the same mob spawning chances as taigas.

The following mobs spawned naturally here:
