The glacarian taiga is the coldest biome you will find. It is a snowy forest inspired by the look of snowy siberian taigas.
Description
Covered by a thick layer of three snow blocks, the glacarian taiga can be dangerous to unprepared adventurers. During snowy weather, it starts freezing all entities that are not protected from the cold. (see below for details) Water is also frozen, up to multiple layers of packed ice/regular ice deep.
This is the only biome where snowy spruce trees naturally generate.
These trees' leaves drop spruce saplings, which won't grow into snowy trees.
This makes this biome's trees effectively unique.
Generation
It generates in the Overworld as frequently as a snowy forest.
Heads up!
You can tweak with the frequency of biomes in the mod's configuration file.
You can find wolves, foxes and ducks in this biome.
Freezing snowfalls
Entities must meet one of the following conditions in order to not freeze under snowfalls:
- Is close to a source of light OR is buried enough in the ground (minimum level 5 of block light level OR maximum level 5 of sky-light level)
- Wears a piece of leather armor
The freezing effect is similar to the one of the powdered snow block, and is as lethal.
Some mobs are unaffected by the cold, like ducks, snow golems, strays, polar bears, creakings, withers, and ender dragons.
Heads up!
You can edit the list of biomes in which this effect occur and the entities affected by it. See the configuration page for more details.
