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

Badlands plateaus covered 1/3 of rare dry areas of the world next to wooded badlands plateaus. Within the badlands plateau, some clearings of regular badlands generated that had a lower altitude, as well as surrounding the climate zone. A thin desert border surrounded this on land biomes, beaches did not generate next to oceans. Their mutation was the modified badlands plateau.

The badlands plateau featured large flat-topped hills composed of stratified colors of terracotta ranging in warm colors. Bordering regular badlands, plateaus had steep edges that rose to within 20-30 blocks above sea level, where they quickly flatten. The top of these plateaus typically had scattered dead bushes. Occasional ponds appeared on plateau tops. The sides of the plateau occasionally revealed caves and mineshafts. Rivers that passed through badlands plateau biomes cut steep grooves, giving off the appearance of narrow canyons. These posed a fall damage hazard if the player was not careful. Canyons would also generate here.

In Bedrock Edition, badlands plateaus in older worlds still received updates. When generated through single biome or behavior packs, they can also generate new blocks.

They appear similar to badlands. Armadillos can spawn, and farm animals use their warm variants but can only spawn on player-created grass blocks. Short dry grass and tall dry grass generates in patches between the dead bushes, and some cacti have cactus flowers.

With Vibrant Visuals, badlands plateaus have unique atmospherics, the sky is tinted turquoise-green at daytime and much brighter during the night, while the daytime horizon is tinted brown. Moonlight is more vibrant blue, and the warm color grading tints the environment more yellow, although color saturation is slightly lower.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:

{ "hasNotes": true, "notes": { "Slime": "Spawn attempt succeeds only in slime chunks." }, "1": { "totalWeight": 515, "mobs": [ { "size": "4", "mob": "Creeper", "weight": 100 }, { "size": "4", "mob": "Skeleton", "weight": 100 }, { "note": "Spawn attempt succeeds only in slime chunks.", "mob": "Slime", "weight": 100, "notename": "Slime", "size": "4" }, { "size": "4", "mob": "Spider", "weight": 100 }, { "size": "4", "mob": "Zombie", "weight": 95 }, { "size": "1-4", "mob": "Enderman", "weight": 10 }, { "size": "1", "mob": "Witch", "weight": 5 }, { "size": "1", "mob": "Zombie Villager", "weight": 5 } ], "category": "monster" }, "2": { "totalWeight": 10, "mobs": [ { "size": "8", "mob": "Bat", "weight": 10 } ], "category": "ambient" } }

Badlands plateaus use the same music as badlands, in the latest version.
