In an extreme hills biome, at what level does snow appear?
When traveling through an extreme hills biome, how high do you have to go for snow to appear?
Solution 1:
95
Extreme Hills generate snow at a height (Y axis) of 95.
The math for that is simple:
- It has a base temp of 0.2 at sea level and below (highland biome)
- Snow requires it to be less than 0.15
- Temps drop by 1/600 per meter
- you need a drop of more than 0.05 degrees
- 1/600 * 30 = 0.05 (because 600 * 0.05 = 30)
- 30 blocks are exactly 0.05 degrees of temp drop, so you need one more: 64 + 30 + 1 = 95
