Ice Spikes
Ice Spikes — biome.
Obtaining
Natural generation
Ice Spikes is a cold Overworld biome with tall ice spikes, snow, and packed ice. The local biome features explicitly include ice spikes and ice patches, so the spires are generated terrain rather than a decorative block pattern. Its generation also includes caves, lava lakes, amethyst geodes, monster rooms, the regular ore pass, vegetation patches and a freeze-top-layer pass.

Climate and environment

The cold climate is reflected in freezing top layers and the biome's zero temperature. Underground water can spawn glow squids, but the biome has no ordinary water-creature entries.
