The windswept savanna or savanna mutated is a shattered and mountainous variant of the savanna that generates in areas with high erosion close to swamps and other windswept biomes. The terrain consists of huge cliffs and floating islands covered with coarse dirt, stone, and savanna vegetation.

The rare windswept savanna variant generates in areas with high erosion and weirdness, as well as medium continentalness and temperate to high temperatures. It is full of extremely steep mountains, enormous overhangs, floating islands, and huge waterfalls and lavafalls, with higher and rougher terrain than the windswept hills biome, and can peak at Y=256. Large and deep lakes often form on the bases of the mountains.

Windswept savanna biomes can often generate standalone bordering other biomes that aren't just the default savanna, with these biomes usually being temperate or warm; humid or dry. They commonly surround swamps or mangrove swamps and border colder windswept hills. Windswept savannnas have a tendency to generate close to the coast or on small islands.

Despite being a highland biome, the deep dark doesn’t generate under windswept savannas.

The terrain is covered with a mixture of grass block patches and coarse dirt patches, with a large amount of exposed stones. Unlike regular savannas, tall grass, villages and pillager outposts cannot generate in this biome.^[1]

Farm animals spawn as warm variants in this biome. Armadillos, horses and donkeys still appear like in regular savannas, as do hostile zombie horsemen during the nighttime. In Bedrock Edition, llamas also live here.

The giant overhangs often reduce skylight on the terrain similar to caves, allowing hostile mobs to spawn at day.

With Vibrant Visuals, windswept savannas use warmish color grading that tints the environment more orange/yellow. The night sky is slightly brighter and moonlight appears more vibrant blue.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:
