Taiga

The taiga is a cold biome which comprises a grassland forested with ferns and spruce trees.

Description
The surface of taiga biomes is a grassland with a large number of ferns, large ferns and spruce trees, forming a forest. The vegetation also includes grass, dandelions, poppies and sweet berry bushes and takes an aqua hue. Pumpkin and red or brown mushroom patches are also possible to be found as well in small proportions, just like other grassy biomes. The water coloration has an unique dark-turquiose tone in Bedrock Edition.



Only spruces are natural to taigas, compared to oak and birch trees in temperate forests. Due to the structure of spruce trees, more tall than wide, the foliage is less dense, but still dense enough to possibly get players lost.

Taigas are most commonly found next to forests, snowy taigas and old growth taigas.

Rainfall changes to snowfall above layer 160 within taigas due to the cold climate; however, this rarely happens outside of amplified worlds, as this biome gets replaced by mountain groves in large mountains and rarely generates in steep terrain.

Outposts and villages generate in taigas ocasionally; villages are made of spruce wood appropriately and often contain pumpkin farms. Villages can also serve as a handy refuge and as a trading post should one be found.

Wolves, foxes and rabbits spawn in taigas, though rabbits are not often seen due to wolves and foxes chasing after them and killing them.

Taigas are one of the most preferred biomes to start out in survival mode. The abundance of wood, grassy terrain and useful passive mobs make this biome easy for players. Taigas share the same dangers of forests, however; a player can get lost within the trees easily if they don't mark their trails and the foliage can lead to obstructed vision, especially at night.
