A '''birch forest''' is a lush [[Minecraft:biome]] filled with [[Minecraft:birch tree]]s and [[Minecraft:wildflowers]] that usually generates near other woodland biomes.

== Description ==
Birch forests feature [[Minecraft:birch tree]]s across the landscape that generate as densely as trees in regular forests. Unlike regular forest biomes, [[Minecraft:oak trees]] and [[Minecraft:wolves]] do not spawn here.

Between the birches, scattered [[Minecraft:bush]]es, [[Minecraft:rose bush]]es, [[Minecraft:lilac]]s, [[Minecraft:peonies]], and [[Minecraft:lilies of the valley]] can be found, while [[Minecraft:wildflowers]] commonly cover the ground in patches. [[Minecraft:Bee nest]]s housing 2–3 bees spawn on 0.2 %{{Only|Java}} or 0.035 %{{Only|Bedrock}} of birches. [[Minecraft:Lava lake]]s might generate like in other biomes, which can cause local forest fires.

Birch forest biomes are rarer than regular forest biomes. They border regular forests, [[Minecraft:dark forest]]s, [[Minecraft:jungle]]s, and [[Minecraft:taiga]]s. Regular birch forests are most commonly separated from old growth birch forests or [[Minecraft:meadow]]s by rivers. [[Minecraft:Lush cave]]s may generate under birch forests because of its slightly high humidity, unless the birch forest is far from the ocean.

Like [[Minecraft:forest]]s, this biome makes an excellent starter biome in a new world as [[Minecraft:log]]s are available in large quantities.

== Mobs ==
The following mobs naturally spawn here:
