Mountains are usually spawned in Jungles made from dirt and granite, but in or near Wastelands, you can find stone mountains as well. Coal ore is plentiful on these mountains. | Mountains are usually spawned in Jungles made from dirt and granite, but in or near Wastelands, you can find stone mountains as well.

Sand and gravel are both [[Falling Blocks]], but some floating islands made of either stay afloat even if the world is in living mode, where gravel and sand fall if they are placed without a supporting block underneath them. | Sand and gravel are both [[Falling Blocks]], but some floating islands made of either stay afloat even if the world is in living mode, where gravel and sand fall if they are placed without a supporting block underneath them. | ||
==Foliage | ==Foliage Color== | ||
Foliage | Foliage color differs throughout different biomes. For example, a birch tree planted in or near a desert will have reddish leaves and appear dry whereas a birch tree planted in a forest or jungle will be lush and green. The same applies to grass - both the grass block and growing or dead grass plants. It also applies to [[Christmas tree]]s, [[Ivy]] and leaves. | ||
