	Old growth spruce taigas generate at moderately low temperature, very high [[Minecraft:humidity]] and negative weirdness. They commonly border regular [[Minecraft:taigas]] and dark forests. They are often separated by [[Minecraft:River\|rivers]] from [[Minecraft:Old Growth Pine Taiga\|old growth pine taigas]], a variant with mega pine trees that only have some leaves at the top.

They are often separated by [[Minecraft:River\|rivers]] from [[Minecraft:Old Growth Pine Taiga\|old growth pine taigas]], a variant with mega pine trees that only have some leaves at the top.

	Old growth spruce taigas can generate in any type of terrain, near [[Minecraft:swamps]] and [[Minecraft:windswept forests]], or near [[Minecraft:mountains]] with [[Minecraft:grove]] slopes and nearby [[Minecraft:pale gardens]]. Due to their very high humidity values, old growth ~~pine~~ taigas are almost guaranteed to have [[Minecraft:lush caves]] generate beneath them.
