MCE randomly thought of a cold, snowy desert. So he made it. It is similar to the normal desert, except no wells, villages or pyramids generate. Little ponds of water and lava do though. Despite being a desert, it's temperature is cold.

Generations

Because of the temperature being cold, it generates a layer of snow in the biome, and instead of raining, or not raining, it snows. Most water in the biome is changed to ice, which is make sugar canes break. Cacti do not break, despite having snow layers next to them.

The top and filler blocks are both sand, like the normal desert, but because the temperature is cold, a snow layer it generated. Little ponds of water and lava generate like in the normal desert, but villages, wells and pyramids do not. Like the normal desert only hostile mobs spawn here, at night.

The color of this biome is a nice orange color, which gives a sugar cane a nice gold color.
