The '''forest''' is a lush [[Minecraft:biome]] densely wooded with [[Minecraft:oak]] and [[Minecraft:birch]] trees. [[Minecraft:Wolves]] spawn here. The forest is the most common surface biome in ''Minecraft'', making up about 12% of the Overworld's area.

== Description ==
Forests feature dense [[Minecraft:tree]]s compared to other biomes. [[Minecraft:Lilies of the valley]], [[Minecraft:rose bush]]es, [[Minecraft:peonies]] and [[Minecraft:lilac]]s generate in this biome family along with the usual [[Minecraft:dandelion]]s; {{in|java}}, [[Minecraft:poppies]] also generate here. [[Minecraft:Bush|Bushes]] generate here in small patches. [[Minecraft:Leaf Litter|Leaf litter]] generates scattered on the ground.
[[Minecraft:Grass Block|Grass]] takes on a dark but vibrant green color. Bees from bee nests on trees are found as well.

Like almost every other [[Minecraft:Overworld]] biome in the game, [[Minecraft:lava lake]]s can generate here, which can cause locally destructive forest [[Minecraft:fire]]s, due to the density of flammable [[Minecraft:log]]s and [[Minecraft:leaves]]; the same goes for [[Minecraft:lightning]] strikes that hit the trees during [[Minecraft:thunderstorm]]s, though the fires caused by the strikes are usually quickly put out by the [[Minecraft:rain]].

A forest biome is well-suited for [[Minecraft:Survival]], as the most essential resource, [[Minecraft:Log|logs]], is abundantly available throughout.

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