Overview

The winter is a biome that was added in the WINTER IS FINALLY HERE update. It covers about 1/2 of the map and is larger than the forest. The winter is much colder than the forest, and it is almost impossible to stay alive without using chapkas or fires. The winter is the stage for advanced players to obtain high tier resources, such as amethyst and the dragon heart.

Summary: "The snow biome (AKA winter) is REALLY FLIPPIN' COLD! "

Advantages

The advantage of the winter is that there are fewer players and bases than the forest, and players can focus on survival and acquiring higher-tier items. Also, the winter contains two high-end resources (diamond & amethyst) which increase the player's power.

Disadvantages

The winter is extremely cold and has mobs that are challenging to kill without the right technique and equipment. It is also limited in resources and planted seeds do not grow, unless a plant plot is used.

The player movement speed is reduced by 20% here, due to the snow.

The Cave

The cave is located in the top right edge of the winter. The cave is guarded by up to 5 dragons. Amethyst and Dragon Heart resources are only obtainable in the cave. Ice Cubes can be gathered with a shovel while in the cave.

Tips

Even with a coat, the heat loss is about as much as wearing nothing during the night in the forest. Also, the 2 mobs: the polar bear and the arctic fox have a lot of HP and are very dangerous, as the biome is in general. Make lots of campfires, full gold tools, and try not to die!

In the winter there are supplies of every deposit that currently exists. It should be noted that the trees inside of the Snow Biome will only give about 10-20 wood each, so it is a good idea to get as much wood as you can beforehand to make fires instead of relying on trees inside of the winter.

If there is no inventory space prior to entering the winter to hold extra gold for making diamond tools, there are large amounts available inside of the center of the biome to mine.

The only way to obtain food inside of the winter is by killing arctic foxes and polar bears for meat, but this is not recommended for inexperienced players who don't know how to kill them. A good idea to make sure that you have enough food for an expedition is to set up a farm in the forest for berries, and obtain at least 200-300 of them.

Since there are no lakes in the winter, it is advised to bring water bottles and shovels to mine ice cubes and convert it to water.

Also, bring lots of campfires to battle the cold.
