Stony Cliffs Are Cool Wiki & Guide

A narrow worldgen rule that swaps exposed dirt on steep faces for stone, and what it leaves untouched.

Overview

Steep ground in Minecraft shows dirt, because that is what hills are made of. On a real slope the soil would have slid off long ago and the rock beneath would be visible.

Stony Cliffs Are Cool closes that gap with a single narrow rule applied while land is generated: dirt that is exposed on a steep face becomes stone. The result is hillsides with rock faces instead of dirt walls.
