Stony peaks are a variant of the jagged peaks and frozen peaks.

Description

Stony peaks are a warmer variation of both the jagged peaks and the frozen peaks biomes that generates when a mountain peak is in the lukewarm biome temperature range. It generates in savannas, some forests, some plains, and jungles, and it doesn't generate snowy slopes, groves, meadows or cherry groves in the slopes of the mountain, instead, savanna plateaus, forests, and jungles often generate around it. It is mainly covered by stone with large strips of calcite and exposed ores. Stony peaks are the third rarest Overworld biome, making up around 0.1% of the Overworld by area.
