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.<br />
<br />
== Generation ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
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}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
[[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. <br />
<br />
[[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.<br />
<br />
== Mobs ==<br />
[[Minecraft:Wolves]], red [[Minecraft:fox]]es, [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s, [[Minecraft:sheep]], [[Minecraft:chicken]]s, [[Minecraft:pig]]s, and [[Minecraft:cow]]s spawn in taigas.<br />
<br />
