I really think that the Taiga biome needs some work. They just look really crappy and terrible in my opinion. Here are some ideas that will make this biome aesthetically pleasing:
- Water should still be able to freeze even if it's under a tree.
- Snow should still generate under trees, but slower than snow on the ground or on top of trees.
- Rivers SHOULD NOT generate in these biomes. It looks absolutely terrible. I hate it how it has to rain in the river separating a snow biome and the fact that the river doesn't freeze.
- Add a frozen river to generate in these biomes. It will look MUCH better.
- Water should still be able to freeze even if it's under a tree. Uh, well, all I have to say is "why?" I think it looks so much better, like a lake that has cold water. Secondly, it's kind of realistic; I believe that having an object above water as it freezes will cause it to retain more heat, no?
- Snow should still generate under trees, but slower than snow on the ground or on top of trees. It may be cool to have snow "sift" through leaves. However, this is incredibly minor.
- Rivers SHOULD NOT generate in these biomes. It looks absolutely terrible. I hate it how it has to rain in the river separating a snow biome and the fact that the river doesn't freeze.
- Add a frozen river to generate in these biomes. It will look MUCH better. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Biome#Technical_Biomes Under "Frozen River" "This variant of the river only spawns in taiga and tundra biomes. The surface layer of water is frozen."

That's all I have for now.
I guess they could connect, but I think it'd be easier to remove rivers from taigas.

I didn't realize that there were frozen rivers as well. They should make the regular rivers not able to spawn in taigas.
If a regular river spawns in Taiga, it will freeze over anyway, since water will freeze, rather obviously. So it doesn't really make a difference.
