A stony shore is a variant of the beach biome that replaces it in some mountainous areas.

Description[edit | edit source]

A stony shore replaces normal beaches in areas with mountainous terrain at low erosion values. They are made entirely of stone, with long strips of gravel. They are usually a steep drop into the water below. Stony shores may generate at high enough elevations to have snow on their peaks (above Y=120±8), even when bordering warm biomes.^[1] Water and lava springs frequently generate on the sides of stony shores. In Bedrock Edition, buried treasure can sometimes generate at high altitudes, and can even generate at Y=90; In Java Edition, it doesn't generate here.^[2]

The steep drops into the ocean below makes this variant dangerous, especially if the player is unaware of their surroundings.
