The Frozen Peaks biome is one of the coolest places to explore in Minecraft. It’s all mountains covered in snow and ice, with goats bouncing around the steep peaks. This biome was added in the Caves and Cliffs Update: Part II, and it’s a great place to find unique building materials and experience.
What’s in Frozen Peaks
Weather
This biome gets plenty of snow. Instead of rain, you’ll see constant snowfall. The ground stays covered in snow blocks and layers, and water freezes over pretty quickly.
Blocks You’ll Find
The mountains are made mostly of stone, but you’ll also see lots of packed ice, snow blocks, and snow layers. Dig down and you’ll find all the standard ores: coal, iron, gold, diamond, redstone, and copper ore.
Mobs
Goats are the main mob here. They’re always climbing around on the steep mountainsides and jumping off cliffs without dying. At night, you’ll get the usual hostile mobs like creepers, skeletons, spiders, endermen, witches, and zombies.
No Trees or Plants
This is a barren biome. There are no trees, grass, or plants anywhere. It’s pure rock and ice.
How to Find Frozen Peaks
You can use the /locatebiome command to find the nearest Frozen Peaks biome. Just run:
/locatebiome minecraft:frozen_peaks
You can also use a seed specifically designed to spawn you in or near a Frozen Peaks biome. We have lists of seeds for both Java and Bedrock editions.
Biome Details
Minecraft Java Edition
Biome ID: minecraft:frozen_peaks
Available in: 1.18 and 1.19.2

The Frozen Peaks biome works the same way on Bedrock, though the ID system is different. You can still find it by exploring or using seeds.
Building in Frozen Peaks
This biome is great for building winter themed structures. The abundance of stone, packed ice, and snow gives you lots of building options. Just remember that water will freeze, mobs can still spawn at night, and the lack of trees means you’ll need to bring wood from elsewhere.
