Snowy Slopes
Overworld (snowy)
Mountain flanks of stone buried under snow blocks and treacherous powder snow. Home of goats, the only mountain biome with igloos - and almost always a deep dark lurking underneath.
Resources
- Snow layers, snow blocks and ice for farms and builds
- Powder snow (scoop it with a bucket for traps)
- Emerald ore underground
- Goat horns when a goat rams a solid block
Mobs
- Goats (they ram solid blocks)
- Snowy rabbits; polar bears too in Bedrock
- Strays at night, plus standard hostile mobs
Structures
- Igloos - the only mountain biome that has them, some with a basement villager cure lab
- Pillager outposts
- Deep dark and often dripstone caves almost guaranteed below
Why go
- Goat horns and goat farming
- Igloo basements for the zombie-villager cure tutorial
- The safest first look at powder snow mechanics
Tips
- Wear one piece of leather armor to stop freezing; leather boots let you walk on powder snow instead of sinking.
- Dig down carefully: snowy slopes sit almost directly above deep dark and the Warden.
