- A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill.
- Mountains are also the only places, along with Cliffs, where Mines can be built; the only way for a nation to extract Metal in considerable quantities. Nations can only build one Mine on each Mountain inside their territory, the size of the Mountain determining the amount of Citizens the Mine can support, which affects how much Metal can be gathered from a Mine.

- Mountains can be among the best places to survive a zombie apocalypse, though not all of them. Ideally you would have something like the Alps in Europe, with steep rock walls to build on top of to be as hard to reach as possible but also:
* Alpine meadows, which are fit for agriculture and pastoralism (keeping animals) and allowing you to survey the area around you and spot threats from afar,
* Plenty of brooks from melting water from the mountaintops (and in the winter when the streams are frozen you can melt snow to get fresh water),
* Forests here and there for resources, rocky areas higher up for more resources,
* Game, possibly herds of sheep or goats to herd on the meadows (just pray that your variety of zombie apocalypse doesn't involve zombie animals!) left behin

* Game, possibly herds of sheep or goats to herd on the meadows (just pray that your variety of zombie apocalypse doesn't involve zombie animals!) left behind, carnivorous wildlife may also be scared off from their slain prey allowing you to scavenge their leftovers meaning you don't have to hunt for yourself but don't count on that happening too often,
* Very low population and most of it in the valley (where it would be more likely that the zeds would travel through the populous valleys ignoring the emptier, higher up places which are also harder to reach),
* Smaller settlements up in the mountains may have been remote enough to not even have been touched by the apocalypse, and might mean a community to rebuild from. This would be ideal since a high-up small settlement with lots of forests around could easily be fortified and turned into a formidable base away from significant numbers of zeds that could be alerted to its presence. So even if shit were to hit the fan, it would not be very bad on a remote mountain settlement. On the downside, a mountain settlement could have become a base for raiders and bandits. Survey a settlement to determine what kind of people live there if possible before exposing yourself to them; though chances are they will see you before you see them, so as always be cautious.
* Empty cabins and ski resorts and the likes to scavenge from, there will not have been a great deal of people there especially not in non tourist seasons so if the apocalypse happened in, say, October, they will not have a lot of zeds in them if any at all, maybe it will even still have the resort owners and a couple of tourists alive and holed up or something along those lines since if they recognized the threat early on, they will have realized their fortunate position high up. Do note this may mean bandits here and there but they are more likely to scavenge and raid into the valleys than into your remote cabin, though if they know of its existence they may deem you an easy target and pick you off, so make sure you know your neighbours if you have any.
* Note that this article is mostly talking about the Alps, some mountain ranges are even more remote and may have even more favourable conditions. Do note that, say, the Himalayas are far too bare to allow all but experienced yak herds or whatever to survive. Or if you have a lot of canned food and such you may hole up very high up the mountain and try not to freeze to death. This all depends on the level of your preperation and expertise.
* Lots of 10 meter+ falls to commit suicide from without reanimating should it come to that. This could also be a disadvantage cause you might accidentally slip. But proper exercise of caution will remedy that.

- Imakandi was captured here by Nami. This could mean there are other Fire elemental lions here.
- You can come across different looking Mountains in Creativerse. Mountain-biomes can be made of rather small Mountains consisting of grey Stone, Dirt and Grass up to large ones covered with Snow all over, with green valleys in between, and some with dark lines of Peakstone in between or on the very top. "Striped" mountains in different shades of reddish to sandy brown belong to Canyons though. Keep an eye on the heat-scale showing up on snowy Mountains as freezing-damage over time will occur when the scale is fully filled with white color. Ice can rarely be found on Mountains, only sometimes at the entry of caves high up or in the shape of small cataracts. Also beware of Caves, as in the Mountains, a number of those have deep chasms inside that might lead to a deadly fall of careless adventurers! Mountains are a good source of Coal and Obsidian, as you can sometimes see Nodes embedded in stone visibly on the surface/sides of Mountains. More Nodes can easily be found by digging into the Mountains (a Excavator might be of help with that). As for animals, Rambeaus will spawn on Mountains on or close to Peakstone during the day, while blue Arctic Mirus will only spawn on Peakstone or on Snow during the night or in darkness. Also Blizzard Chizzards can spawn on Snow during the day, and Night Chizzards during the night. From Caves ordinary green Mirus, Night Pigsies and/or Night Rocksters might occasionally emerge as well. Only a few trees will grow in Mountain-biomes, rather on the feet of Mountains and in valleys in between defined by Grass and/or Dead Grass - mainly pine-like often snow-covered Elderwood-trees with Blue Flowers on top and only rarely Beeswax in these colder climate-zones, occasionally also birch-like Ashenwood-trees, adorned with Red Flowers in their tops and Moss on their stems here or there. Red Mushrooms, Tallgrass, Turnips and/or Lettuce can only - rather rarely - be discovered in valleys or on foothills of Mountains in warmer areas. Here in valleys or at foothills, Pigsies and/or Leafies (wherever trees are close) can roam around during the day as well as their aggressive equivalents Night Pigsies and/or Night Leafies at night. Wood Treasure Chests can occasionally show up during (ingame-)night-times in dark places in range of view of player-characters in this biome. These rare chests can also spawn on snowy tree-tops and at cave-entrances. Mountains can be found on ALL Creativerse-worlds, just like all the other biomes. Mind that the worlds are larger than you might initially think (10,240 x 10,240 blocks in width) and that you might have to swim across large bodies of Water (Oceans) to reach more islands/continents and to be able visit all of the existing biome-types. Keep an eye on your location by typing // in the chat: the coordinates go from +5120 to -5120 from North to South and also from East to West.
