How to find
Badlands form bright orange plateaus in warm regions and stand out clearly on maps. Variants differ in elevation and wooded sections.
Terrain and features
Colored terracotta bands run through hills, while trees and water are scarce. Mineshafts may generate exposed on the surface.
Resources and mobs
Builders gain abundant terracotta, red sand smelts into normal glass, and gold ore generates at higher elevations than elsewhere.
Survival and building
Bring wood and food, and check exposed mineshafts for spiders. Preserve selected color bands if the terrain will become part of a build.
