Hill

In Minecraft, a "hill" typically refers to an area of gently sloping terrain, distinct from steep mountains or flat plains. Hills can include various terrain features such as gentle slopes, small cliffs, and cave entrances. They are common throughout the game and can serve as a starting point for exploration and building. Hill terrain often blends into nearby biomes, such as forests or plains. The appearance of hills can vary depending on the biome; for example, grassy hills will feature grass and flowers, while hills in snowy biomes will be covered in snow. Additionally, Minecraft introduces the “Windswept Hills” biome, which is a distinct and uncommon biome characterized by high erosion, high PV, and high continentalness. Windswept Hills come in three variants: Windswept Hills, Windswept Forest, and Windswept Gravelly Hills. These hills often generate with relatively flat terrain but can also be hilly and shattered, with cliffs reaching up to roughly Y-level 140 and snow-capped peaks.
