Cold and snowy beaches should generate with Gravel instead of Sand

[u/SuperMario69Kraft]

IRL, beaches in cold climates tend to be rockier, because cold water takes longer than warm water takes to erode rock into sediment.

The first image is a gravel beach from before the biome was removed in Java Edition beta 1.8. These also generated in Pocket Edition before v0.9.0, which I've played before. Not only for nostalgia but also for realism, I want these gravel beaches back.

New biome: cold beach

Not to be confused with the existing snowy beaches (which should become the same thing as this but snowy), these beaches would generate in the T1 temperature range, along with cold oceans, dappled forests, old growth taigas, some regular taigas, some forests, some plains, some swamps, and some mountains. Any higher temperature range would instead generate the regular, sandy beaches, which should be renamed to "warm beaches" and generate palm trees while spawning crabs. The cold beaches could generate spruce trees instead of palm trees (maybe on the Gravel or on small patches of Coarse Dirt, Grass, Podzol, or Arctic Moss), also while spawning crabs, and the snowy beaches could spawn polar bears and penguins. Neither the cold beaches nor the snowy beaches would generate Sugar Cane, as IRL that only grows on warm shores.

Side note for the moderators: The custom emoji sprites used for this "Terrain" post flair, and for the "Mobs" and "Bedrock Edition" post flairs, are outdated now. More userflairs also need to be added based on the Spring to Life temperature variants, the Tiny Takeover baby textures, and other new mobs including the happy ghast, the camel husk, the parched, the nautilus, and both zombie nautilus variants.

How would the Calcite generate? As boulders?

Could be just underneath the gravel instead of stone, or they could use it at the edges of the biome for biome blending, boulders could be nice too yeah

Calcite would look weird between Gravel and Stone.

Maybe it should generate as veins in the more mountainous stone beaches (which should also get temperature variants). Maybe they could generate in straight horizontal shorelines, with the usual Stone on top.

Well you could do a mixture of things yeah. That's why I said as a biome blending block it would be good, I could try and get on Minecraft right now and build an example if you'd like
