'''Windswept savanna''' (formerly and colloquially known as '''shattered savanna''') is a variant of [[savanna]] that generates in areas with high [[World generation#Biomes|erosion]] and [[weirdness]].

== Description ==
The extraordinarily rare '''windswept savanna''' variant generates in areas with high [[World generation#Biomes|erosion]] and [[weirdness]]. It is full of extremely steep mountains, enormous overhangs, floating islands, and huge [[Water|waterfalls]] and [[Lava|lavafalls]], with higher and rougher terrain than the [[Windswept hill|windswept hills]] biome, and can peak at Y=256. [[Acacia Tree|Acacia Trees]] can peak up to Y=264. Large and deep lakes often form on the bases of the mountains.

Windswept savanna biomes can often generate standalone bordering other biomes that aren't just the default savanna, with these biomes usually being temperate or warm. Windswept savannas can't generate in regions with cold or snowy biomes which means that these biomes can be found in extreme terrain.

The terrain is covered with a mixture of grass block patches and [[coarse dirt]] patches, with a large amount of exposed stones. [[Tall grass]] doesn't generate here {{in|java}}. [[Village|Villages]] and [[Pillager outpost|pillager outposts]] cannot generate in this biome<ref>{{bug|MC-128686||Villages and pillager outposts don't spawn in windswept savannas}}</ref>.

The steep generated mountains make this variant almost unsuitable for shelter and even just exploring quite hazardous, due to the sharp cliffs often risking fatal fall damage if not above [[water]]. Additionally, the giant overhangs often reduce skylight on the terrain below them, not only enough to spawn hostile mobs in daylight, but to produce complete darkness similar to [[Cave|caves]], further adding to the difficulty of this biome.
