Mountain update 3, electric boogaloo

Disclaimer: I like to drone on about features and details to make sure they are done right and don't break minecraftiness. First. Add even more height to these enormous new features. 450? 500? Around there? Next, Add severall layers of landscape to the generation to separate biomes (but dont make the lines straight cutoffs. The prairie: ocean level to 50 y lvl. Grassy plains and flat land. Hills: 50 to 70 y lvl. Forests and river wind around these less flat areas in the land. Lower montane forest: 70 to 100 y lvl. more lush forests and deciduous forests and groves spawn here. High montane forest: 100 to 150 y lvl overrun by evergreens. Brush starts becoming scarcer. Subalpine: 150 to 190 y lvls. mostly bushes, and tall grass, with juniper tree interspersed. Alpine: 190 to 240 y lvl. Only grass and small shrubs spawn here. Plenty of mountain goats and chipmunks. Craggy peaks and occasional ice caps spawn on these levels. Wind makes new howling ambiant noises through rock formations and valleys. Glacial: y lvl 240 to 280. The clouds are below you. Little to no plant life. Snow is way more common. Glaciers spawn as biomes where you can get ice and avalanches. Astral: 280 to 398 y lvl. The oxygen. Starts getting less. It takes more hunger to climb. High, deeply snow drifted cliffs lead to the top of the world. Updraft can carry elytra up, currents can carry them forward, backward and side to side, and vacuums push you down faster. Snow is extremely deep. Continue to comments.

    Eroded peaks: a biome with high mountains that have weird, u-shaped dents in their sides. They are partly snowy, but most of their ice comes from. Glaciers that are either still there, or have melted and formed lakes.
    Horn: a high peak that towers over the others with a sharp, arrowhead-like shape.
    Frozen cliffs: a cliff of ice that is extremely difficult to traverse.
    Aurora highlands: a giant arctic mountain with an aurora borealis floating above it, and usually a lot of snow below.
    Astral peaks: the top of the world. It so high, there is a fine line separating their height from the base height where this biome can spawn. Thus biome is so high, the clouds are part of the view. It is so high, that the winds up there cancarry you on elytra upwards. It is so high that oxygen runs thin and normal activities take more food, and a bubble of oxygen if you aren't careful. Once you get to the absolute highest point in the entire world, you will be greeted by a 30% chance of a new ore spawning called star fragments which you mine for stardust which is useful for enchanting and upgrading diamond tools and armor into celestial steel plate armor. New advancements:
    top of the world! Achieved by climbing up to the highest point in an Astral peaks biome.
    Up up and away! Acheived by flying on elytra in a wind current.
    Mountaineer: acheived by traveling to 10 different mountain biomes.
    Cover me in stardust: achieved by wearing celestial steel.
