Birch Forest

The Birch Forest biome is a common lush biome. It usually generates near other lush biomes, and has four variations counting the main biome.

Description
The birch forest biome is a quite hilly biome that features a vast amount of only birch trees across its landscape. They generare densely, but not dense enough to cast shadows in the ground dark enough to allow hostile mobs to spawn in daytime. Rose bushes, lilacs and peonies generate in this biome relatively commonly, as well as the usual dandelions, poppies, tall grass, and rarely, pumpkins. Like almost every other land biome in the game, water and lava lakes can generate here, those may causing fast-spreading fires due to the density of flammable trees. The grass and foliage color is a dull green/turquoise hue, much like the rivers that often run across this biome, making them hard to distinguish from the main birch forest biome. No unique mobs or structures are found in this biome.

This biome provides a decent source of wood and animal food, much like the main forest, however, survival here is a bit tricky due to the low visibility between birches and because mobs like skeletons and zombies are able to protect themselves in daytime by being beneath leaves, and then suddenly appearing and attacking you when you are unaware. Building shelters here can also be a pain in the neck due to having to clean up the zone before, and due to the reduced block palette this biome has compared to other biomes.

Variants
The birch forest biome has three variants, for a total of four distinct birch forest biomes.

Birch Forest Hills
Birch Forest Hills, like other Hills biomes, features even hiller, rougher terrain than the regular birch forest, being identical to it in every other single aspect.

Tall Birch Forest
The Tall Birch Forest (known as Birch Forest M before 1.13) features birch trees that generate significantly taller than normal. This makes harvesting wood more difficult, but allows more wood to be collected in the long run.

Tall Birch Hills
Like the other hills biomes, the Tall Birch Hills biome (known as Birch Forest Hills M before 1.13) has hillier, rougher terrain, along with the taller-than-normal birch trees of its non-hill variant.
