The Frozen Badlands is a biome that was added to the game in May 2nd, 2025. They are the most treacherous Biome in the game, guarded by Draugr Knights, who look like tall players that are fast and able to jump two blocks, as well as frost versions of Draugr Zombies, Draugr Skeletons and Cave Golems.
Features[]
Frozen Badlands are made out of spiky mountains, graves, ruins, spectral trees, great spectral trees, and skull temples.

- It is recommended to use a bow or crossbow to fight mobs in Frozen Badlands if you are not skilled with a sword.
- Bring blocks to pillar up away from mobs, especially Draugr Knights.

Structures[]
Mysterious Ruins[]
The Mysterious Ruins in the Frozen Badlands are very similar to the ones in the other Biomes, but do not let their looks deceive you. These ruins contains mob spawners of Frost Zombies and Draugr Knights, instead of the regular Draugr Zombies and Skeletons. There are sometimes also gray carpets scattered around the ruins, but there are stone spikes under those carpets. The best way to clear out the Mysterious Ruins in the Frozen Badlands is to get packed with Diamond Gear for killing mobs and a Moonstone Pickaxe to mine the Spawners and Stone Spikes when you fall in a trap. Also get blocks for pillaring up when falling into the trap.
Spiky Mountains[]
Spiky mountains are skinny, tall mountains. Two types of Spiky Mountains exist. Both contain Packed Snow, Messy Stone, Stone, Snowy Messy Stone, and Stone Spikes; however, one type contains Carved Messy Stone and Diamond and Moonstore Ore hidden inside.
Skull Temple[]
Two types of these Temples, which are huge structures with traps, loot, and Draugr Knight spawners, exist. One has a house with a hidden Block of Moonstone and a Chest inside the grave in the house. Another has Coal, Diamond, and hidden Moonstone Ore.
Loot:[]
Loot chests contain Gold, Iron, Diamond, and Moonstone and their respective tools and building blocks, like Concrete and Glass. Some skulls have hidden Block of Moonstone and Chests. One without Diamond and Moonstone Ores has a hidden Block of Moonstone in the roof and the other has a hidden chest under the carpet.
Traps:[]
Stone spikes are scattered everywhere, and Draugr Knights usually spawn in packs of 2 or 3, which are able to knock you back into the stone spikes. Watch out for a deep one-block-wide pit right before you reach the main chamber.
Strategies:[]
Get blocks to pillar up while fighting and a pickaxe to mine the spawner and the ores hidden in the skull (the ores usually aren't exposed, so mine around for them. Moonstone is most common.) Make sure you have an escape route in case multiple Draugr Knights attack you.
