Dark forests generate in areas with medium temperature and very high [[Minecraft:humidity]] values and are usually bordered by [[Minecraft:birch forest]]s, but they can also border [[Minecraft:jungle]]s and [[Minecraft:bamboo jungle]]s. Dark forests border [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s but not regular [[Minecraft:taiga]]s.
Dark forests generate at moderate temperatures with very high [[Minecraft:humidity]] and are usually bordered by [[Minecraft:birch forest]]s, but they can also border [[Minecraft:jungle]]s, [[Minecraft:bamboo jungle]]s, [[Minecraft:windswept forest]]s, and [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s.


They can generate at any type of terrain, near [[Minecraft:swamp]]s and [[Minecraft:windswept]] biomes, in flatland, bordering [[Minecraft:ocean]]s with beaches or cliffs, near plateaus and fjords, or high [[Minecraft:mountain]] valleys. Plateaus and mountain slopes in dark forests are replaced by the [[Minecraft:pale garden]] variant.
Less commonly, they border [[Minecraft:swamp]]s or [[Minecraft:grove]]s. Dark forests can generate in a wide variety of terrains, including flatlands, plateaus, coasts, cliffs, or mountain valleys. Plateaus and mountain slopes in dark forests are often replaced by the [[Minecraft:pale garden]] variant.


Dark forests are one of the only biomes that can never border biomes with [[Minecraft:village]]s.
Dark forests are one of the only biomes that can never border biomes with [[Minecraft:village]]s, though [[Minecraft:taiga]]s or [[Minecraft:meadow]]s may generate close.


Due to their very high humidity value, dark forests almost always have [[Minecraft:lush caves]] generate below them, unless they generate very far inland.
Because of their high humidities, [[Minecraft:Lush Caves|lush caves]] frequently generate beneath dark forests.

Template:Infobox biome A dark forest or roofed forest is a forested Minecraft:biome with dense leaf canopies that block sunlight, allowing hostile Minecraft:mobs to spawn and hide from the sun during daytime. Dark forests are one of the two biomes that Minecraft:woodland mansions can generate in.

Generation

Dark forests generate at moderate temperatures with very high Minecraft:humidity and are usually bordered by Minecraft:birch forests, but they can also border Minecraft:jungles, Minecraft:bamboo jungles, Minecraft:windswept forests, and Minecraft:old growth taigas.

Less commonly, they border Minecraft:swamps or Minecraft:groves. Dark forests can generate in a wide variety of terrains, including flatlands, plateaus, coasts, cliffs, or mountain valleys. Plateaus and mountain slopes in dark forests are often replaced by the Minecraft:pale garden variant.

Dark forests are one of the only biomes that can never border biomes with Minecraft:villages, though Minecraft:taigas or Minecraft:meadows may generate close.

Because of their high humidities, lush caves frequently generate beneath dark forests.

Description

Dark forests feature a much higher density of trees compared to other forest biomes, which oftentimes blocks direct view of the sky entirely. Minecraft:Oak, Minecraft:dark oak, and sometimes Minecraft:birch trees generate in these biomes, with Minecraft:leaf litter covering the ground. Minecraft:Bee nests are not generated with trees. Additionally, both types of Minecraft:huge mushrooms generate among the trees, though the red variants are more common. Unlike regular forests, wolves do not spawn in dark forests.

Unique to dark forests are Minecraft:woodland mansions, enormous dungeon-like structures that rarely generate within the trees. Woodland mansions are home to the dangerous Minecraft:evoker and Minecraft:vindicator mobs and are one of the only places where said mobs spawn. Mansions contain many rooms and valuable loot.

The dark forest has a unique darker sky color and atmospheric effects with Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals. Sunlight is also less bright, and volumetric fog is slightly denser with stronger light shafts.
