What Is the Windswept Gravelly Hills Biome?

The Windswept Gravelly Hills is one of the rarest biomes in the game. Thick layers of gravel cover most of the surface, leaving only thin strips of grass peeking through.

What You'll Find

  • Gravel covering nearly the entire surface of the hills
  • Emerald ore tucked into the stone, though hard to spot under the gravel
  • Patches of infested stone hiding silverfish underground
  • Snow capping the highest peaks

Staying Safe

  • Gravel can collapse and fall when you dig underneath it, so dig carefully
  • Steep, uneven slopes make it easy to take fall damage
