After a long wait, Minecrafters finally received the fascinating Caves & Cliffs Part II update. The 1.18 release changed the Overworld's terrain generation forever. The new extreme terrain led to a 50% increase in the world build limit.

One of the main reasons for the build limit change is the newly added mountains. Minecraft 1.18 update tweaked the dull mountains and turned them into a majestic beauty. Players can find six sub-mountain biomes in Caves & Cliffs Part II.

Mountains are divided into two varieties - slopes and peaks. Out of the six-mountain biomes, frozen peaks are the prettiest in Minecraft.

Frozen peaks are one of three mountain biomes from the peaks category. Like stony and snowy peaks, frozen peaks are the tallest biome in Minecraft. These mountains can reach a staggering height of Y 256, the old build limit.

As its name implies, frozen peaks are a cold mountain biome with a temperature value of -0.7. Players can find beautiful glaciers made of packed ice blocks surrounded by snow blocks. Players can also find patches of ice blocks in frozen peaks.

Frozen peaks generate in the coldest regions of Minecraft. Players will usually find frozen peaks between smaller hills in colder areas. Frozen peaks can also generate alongside jagged peaks.

Players searching for jagged peaks should avoid warm areas like deserts, jungles, and badlands. These biomes usually have stony peaks instead of jagged or snowy peaks,

Goats are the only animal that can spawn in frozen peaks. It is one of the best biomes for finding goats. Players can discover normal hostile mobs in frozen peaks. Weirdly, the skeletons spawned in this biome are not strays.

Players can only find pillager outposts in frozen peaks like other peak biomes. Illagers are used to living in extreme conditions. Some players may have expected igloo to generate in frozen peaks. Unfortunately, they are limited to cold areas at lower height levels.
