The modified wooded badlands plateau was a rare variant of the badlands that no longer generates since Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and was removed in Java Edition.

Description

The modified wooded badlands plateau had a weathered appearance and featured smaller plateaus with more erratic terrain, allowing for significantly fewer oak trees to grow at the highest layers. Eroded badlands replaced the usual thin desert border that this biome variant shared with other biomes.

Mobs

Modified wooded badlands plateaus used the same mob spawning chances as badlands.
