The '''taiga''' is a humid and cold [[Minecraft:biome]] comprising a grassland forested with small and large ferns, pale aquamarine-green grass, [[Minecraft:spruce]] and pine trees.

	Taigas ~~are frequently bordered by~~ [[Minecraft:old growth ~~taiga~~]]s, [[Minecraft:~~forest~~]]s, [[Minecraft:birch ~~forest~~]]s, [[Minecraft:~~snowy taiga~~]]s, [[Minecraft:~~grove~~]]~~s and~~ [[Minecraft:~~swamp~~]]s. They ~~may also~~ generate in the ~~same~~ temperature ~~range as~~ [[Minecraft:~~snowy plains~~]] and ~~snowy taiga, with~~ [[Minecraft:~~frozen river~~]]~~s running through them;<ref>{{bug\|MC-239444\|\|Frozen rivers can~~ generate in the ~~middle of taiga biomes\|WAI}}</ref> these taigas~~ are almost guaranteed to have [[Minecraft:lush caves]] underground. ~~Taigas that generate in temperatures~~ of ~~-0.150 to -0.450 frequently generate~~ lush caves~~. In addition, when taigas generate far inland, [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] may generate underneath them instead~~.		Taigas generate in the moderately high humidity zones of cold temperature areas, as well as the highest humidity zones of frozen areas. They commonly border [[Minecraft:Old Growth Taiga\|old growth taigas]], [[Minecraft:forests]], and [[Minecraft:Snowy Taiga\|snowy taigas]], and less frequently [[Minecraft:Birch Forest\|birch forests]]. In cold temperature areas, they can generate in any type of terrain; flatlands near shattered [[Minecraft:windswept forests]] and [[Minecraft:swamps]], rolling slopes and plateaus, or [[Minecraft:mountains]] with [[Minecraft:groves]] on the slopes.

			In the frozen temperature areas, however, they only generate in medium to high erosion as vast groves replace them in mountainous terrain. They can sometimes still generate replacing rivers in the highest mountain peaks. When generated in frozen temperature areas, they create a large contrast with the snowy environment, most notably [[Minecraft:Frozen River\|frozen rivers]] and [[Minecraft:Snowy Beach\|snowy beaches]].

			Because these generate in the highest humidity, they are almost guaranteed to have [[Minecraft:Lush Caves\|lush caves]] underground. Cold temperature zone taigas have a slightly lower chance of bordering lush caves.

The '''taiga''' is a humid and cold [[Minecraft:biome]] comprising a grassland forested with small and large ferns, pale aquamarine-green grass, [[Minecraft:spruce]] and pine trees. [[Minecraft:Fox]]es commonly spawn here.

== Generation ==
Taigas are frequently bordered by [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:forest]]s, [[Minecraft:birch forest]]s, [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:grove]]s and [[Minecraft:swamp]]s. They may also generate in the same temperature range as [[Minecraft:snowy plains]] and snowy taiga, with [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s running through them;<ref>{{bug|MC-239444||Frozen rivers can generate in the middle of taiga biomes|WAI}}</ref> these taigas are almost guaranteed to have [[Minecraft:lush caves]] underground. Taigas that generate in temperatures of -0.150 to -0.450 frequently generate lush caves. In addition, when taigas generate far inland, [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] may generate underneath them instead.

== Description ==
The taiga's surface is a grassland with a large number of [[Minecraft:fern]]s and [[Minecraft:large fern]]s, and is forested with pine and spruce [[Minecraft:tree]]s, which are the only trees that can generate in this biome. The [[Minecraft:vegetation]] also includes short [[Minecraft:grass]], [[Minecraft:dandelion]]s, poppies and [[Minecraft:sweet berry bush]]es, and takes an aquamarine color tone. The [[Minecraft:water]] coloration has a unique dark turquoise tone {{in|be}}.

With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], taigas use a coolish humid [[Minecraft:Fog#Volumetric fog|volumetric fog]] setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Taigas have default atmospherics and lighting similar to temperate biomes, but coolish color grading tints the environment with a colder blue color.

[[Minecraft:Rain]]fall is common and changes to [[Minecraft:snowfall]] above the layer Y=160±8 within taigas due to the humid and cold climate.

[[Minecraft:Pillager outpost]]s, [[Minecraft:village]]s, and [[Minecraft:trail ruins]] generate in taigas occasionally. These villages are made of spruce [[Minecraft:wood]] materials and often contain gardens with [[Minecraft:poppy]] and [[Minecraft:pumpkin]] farms.

== Mobs ==
[[Minecraft:Wolves]], red [[Minecraft:fox]]es, [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s, [[Minecraft:sheep]], [[Minecraft:chicken]]s, [[Minecraft:pig]]s, and [[Minecraft:cow]]s spawn in taigas.
