Eroded Badlands

Biomes

Eroded Badlands — biome.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Eroded badlands form tall, colourful spires of terracotta, red sand, and sandstone. Canyon carving makes the terrain much sharper than ordinary badlands, while the dry climate keeps rain and snowfall out of the biome.

PrecipitationNo

TerrainTall terracotta spires and canyons
SurfaceRed sand and sandstone

Exploration and resources

The spires expose large terracotta surfaces for building and colour palettes. Gold, iron, coal, redstone, copper, diamond, and lapis ore remain part of the underground feature passes, while lava lakes, amethyst geodes, monster rooms, and badlands vegetation add exploration targets.

Climate and environment

This dry biome has no precipitation. Desert patches contain cacti and dead bushes, while gold ore is common underground. The source also permits sheep, pigs, chickens, cows, armadillos, bats, and glow squids, with the regular Overworld hostile groups below the surface.

History

Eroded badlands are the canyon-heavy badlands variant. Their current data makes the terrain carvers, fixed dry colours, spawn probability, surface features, and underground resource passes explicit.

FamilyBadlands
Distinctive generationCanyon carver and terracotta spires

Trivia

The biome has a warm temperature but zero downfall, so its tall coloured terrain is dry rather than rainy. Snow golems also melt here because the biome marks the snow-golem-melts gameplay attribute.
