The '''windswept forest''' or '''extreme hills plus trees''' biome is a more humid variant of the [[Minecraft:windswept hills]] filled with [[Minecraft:spruce]] and [[Minecraft:oak]] trees.

Windswept forests generate instead of windswept hills in areas with high [[Minecraft:humidity]]. They generate at medium to the coldest temperature ranges, bordering all types of [[Minecraft:forest]]s and [[Minecraft:taiga]]s. Commonly, they surround [[Minecraft:swamp]] biomes, and near higher temperatures they border [[Minecraft:windswept savanna]]s. Windswept forests can generate close to, but never border [[Minecraft:windswept gravelly hills]].
Windswept forests generate in place of windswept hills when the climate becomes humid. They require cold to medium temperatures and moderately high erosion. The terrain is typically elevated and can range from flat plateaus to rugged, jagged, or shattered landscapes, sometimes featuring floating islands.


A [[Minecraft:Lush Caves|lush cave]] may also generate under windswept forests due to its high humidity, but when the biome generates far inland, [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] may generate beneath it instead.
Windswept forests tend to border forested biomes like [[Minecraft:taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s, regular [[Minecraft:forest]]s, [[Minecraft:birch forest]]s, [[Minecraft:dark forest]]s, and at cold temperatures, [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s. They commonly border the windswept hills variant when the humidity decreases, or [[Minecraft:swamp]]s if erosion rises further.
 
[[Minecraft:Lush caves]], [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]], [[Minecraft:sulfur caves]], and [[Minecraft:ice caves]]{{upcoming|Fourth Drop 2026}} can all generate beneath a windswept forest.

Template:Infobox biome

The windswept forest or extreme hills plus trees biome is a more humid variant of the Minecraft:windswept hills, filled with Minecraft:spruce and Minecraft:oak trees.

Generation

Windswept forests generate in place of windswept hills when the climate becomes humid. They require cold to medium temperatures and moderately high erosion. The terrain is typically elevated and can range from flat plateaus to rugged, jagged, or shattered landscapes, sometimes featuring floating islands.

Windswept forests tend to border forested biomes like Minecraft:taigas, Minecraft:old growth taigas, regular Minecraft:forests, Minecraft:birch forests, Minecraft:dark forests, and at cold temperatures, Minecraft:snowy taigas. They commonly border the windswept hills variant when the humidity decreases, or Minecraft:swamps if erosion rises further.

Minecraft:Lush caves, Minecraft:dripstone caves, Minecraft:sulfur caves, and Minecraft:ice cavesTemplate:Upcoming can all generate beneath a windswept forest.

Description

Windswept forests lack a stony terrain surface, but generate hilly and rugged terrain just like regular windswept hills.

Minecraft:Spruce and Minecraft:oak trees generate quite often, forming a sparse forest, and bushes occasionally spawn in patches around the biome. This is unlike the other windswept hills biomes, where noTemplate:Only/almost noTemplate:Only trees generate.

This biome is one of the few to contain Minecraft:emerald ore, and more Minecraft:coal ore along with Minecraft:iron ore generates at higher altitudes. Minecraft:Infested stone with Minecraft:silverfish may also be found here underground.

Minecraft:Abandoned camps sometimes generate in windswept forests.

Minecraft:Llamas inhabit windswept forests, along with the usual farm animals and hostile mobs. Minecraft:Pigs, Minecraft:cows and Minecraft:chickens appear as cold variants here.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, windswept forests use a coolish humid Minecraft:volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Windswept forests have default coolish color grading tints the environment with a colder blue color, and cold sunlight which is slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.

Mobs

The following mobs, excluding silverfish that spawn from infested blocks, naturally spawn here:
