Ice biome

The Underground Snow is a biome, and is the underground version of the Snow biome, beginning at the Cavern layer and stopping at the lava layer. On the  Mobile version the Underground Snow biome ends before the cavern layer and beginning at the underground instead of ones on  PC version and  Console version of Terraria. It is composed mainly of Snow Blocks and Ice Blocks. Thin Ice can be found generated over water and breaks when a character falls over 4 tiles onto it (unless using the Ice Skates or another accessory crafted from them). The Underground Snow biome is the only place where Ice Chests can be found.

During Hardmode, the Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow can spread through it, generating Purple, Red, and Pink Ice Block respectively. They are unable to spread through snow blocks.

On the Template:Mobile icon Mobile and Nintendo 3DS versions, normal sized worlds only have a 1/3 chance of containing a snow biome, and their respective underground. Furthurmore, Armored Vikings, Snow Flinx, Icy Mermen, Ice Tortoises and Ice Mimics will spawn much more rarely than on the  PC versions and  Console versions.

Notes

• Most enemies in the Underground Snow biome, as well as surface Snow biome inflict the Chilled debuff, and more rarely the Frozen debuff.
• On the  Mobile versions, it is the only place where Heart Shrines generate, so it may worth traveling to an Underground Snow biome to find one.
• On the  Mobile version the Heart Shrine is the only way to obtain a Frozen Chest, besides the one in the Dungeon. Not to be confused with Ice Chest.
