Gravelly Mountains+

The gravelly mountains+ (also referred to as modified gravelly mountains in code‌) was a rare variant of the windswept hills that no longer generates since Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and was removed in Java Edition.

Description

Like other mountain biomes, the gravelly mountains+ featured a mountainuous terrain, often passing the minimum snow height, with steep cliffs and floating islands. Like the regular gravelly mountains, the floor was mostly covered with gravel, with occasional blobs of grass blocks and stone. Oak and spruce trees rarely generated on the grass blocks. Emerald ore and infested stone sometimes replaced stone in this biome.

In Java Edition, the gravelly mountains+ had the exact same terrain and vegetation as the regular gravelly mountains.

In Bedrock Edition, the regular gravelly mountains did not generate trees, making this biome unique. Unlike in Java Edition, gravel covered almost the entire biome, with only a few one-block wide stripes of grass blocks crossing the area. This also made trees much rarer.

Gravelly mountains+ generated within mountain biomes roughly the same way as regular gravelly mountains did, but they also generated when a wooded mountains that generated between a desert and a snowy plains became modified.

Mobs

Gravelly mountains+ had the same mob spawning chances as windswept hills. In Java Edition:
