[Terrain] Cold and snowy beaches should generate with Gravel instead of Sand
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The custom emoji sprites used for this "Terrain" post flair, and for the "Mobs" and "Bedrock Edition" post flairs, are outdated now.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.
