== Description ==
== Generation ==
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|leaf litter]] frequently lying beneath the trees. It is the only place where dark oak trees naturally generate. [[Minecraft:Bee nest]]s are not generated with trees. Additionally, both types of [[Minecraft:huge mushroom]]s generate among the trees, though the red variants are more common. Unlike regular forests, [[Minecraft:wolf|wolves]] do not spawn in dark forests.
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.


Unique to dark forests (and [[Minecraft:pale garden]]s) are [[Minecraft:woodland mansion]]s, enormous dungeon-like structures that rarely generate within the trees. Woodland mansions are home to the dangerous [[Minecraft:illager]] mobs and are one of the only places where said mobs spawn. Mansions contain various rooms and valuable loot.
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.


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.
Dark forests are one of the only biomes that can never border biomes with [[Minecraft:village]]s.


Survival in dark forests may be more challenging than in other grassy biomes, as the dense shade provided by the dark oak trees allows hostile mobs to persist even throughout daytime. However, the biome offers plenty of [[Minecraft:log]]s, even more so than regular forests.
Due to their very high humidity value, dark forests almost always have [[Minecraft:lush caves]] generate below them, unless they generate very far inland.

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 in areas with medium temperature and very high Minecraft:humidity values and are usually bordered by Minecraft:birch forests, but they can also border Minecraft:jungles and Minecraft:bamboo jungles. Dark forests border Minecraft:old growth taigas but not regular Minecraft:taigas.

They can generate at any type of terrain, near Minecraft:swamps and Minecraft:windswept biomes, in flatland, bordering Minecraft:oceans 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.

Dark forests are one of the only biomes that can never border biomes with Minecraft:villages.

Due to their very high humidity value, dark forests almost always have Minecraft:lush caves generate below them, unless they generate very far inland.

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.
