'''Old growth pine taigas''' or '''mega taigas''' are forested [[Minecraft:biomes]] covered with both large 2×2 and normal-sized [[Minecraft:spruce tree]]s, with the tall trees being mostly arrow shaped with few leaves at the top. Uniquely to this biome, [[Minecraft:Zombie villagers]] have the highest spawn rate amongst all biomes{{only|java}}.
The '''old growth pine taiga''' or '''mega taiga''' is a forested [[Minecraft:biome]] filled with large 2×2 [[Minecraft:spruce tree]]s, with the tall trees being mostly arrow-shaped: a thick trunk with few leaves at the top. The ground is made of [[Minecraft:podzol]] and [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]] and covered by [[Minecraft:mossy cobblestone]] rocks.

== Generation ==
Old growth pine taigas generate at moderately low temperature, very high [[Minecraft:humidity]] and positive weirdness. They border [[Minecraft:grove]]s, normal [[Minecraft:taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:dark forest]]s, [[Minecraft:windswept forest]]s, and [[Minecraft:swamp]]s. Old growth pine taigas can also border [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:meadow]]s, and [[Minecraft:pale garden]]s at the tops of a plateau. At higher elevations they transition to [[Minecraft:grove]]s and [[Minecraft:frozen peaks]]. Due to their very high humidity values, old growth pine taigas are almost guaranteed to have [[Minecraft:lush caves]] generate beneath them. They are often separated by [[Minecraft:river]]s from [[Minecraft:old growth spruce taiga]]s. In coastal areas they border [[Minecraft:cold ocean]]s.
Old growth pine taigas generate at moderately low temperatures where humidity is very high, typically in areas of positive weirdness. They commonly border regular [[Minecraft:taiga]]s and [[Minecraft:dark forest]]s. They can also border [[Minecraft:old growth spruce taiga]]s, a variant with mega spruce trees featuring leaves around the trunk, either directly or separated by a [[Minecraft:river]].
 
The terrain around old growth pine taigas varies. They may border [[Minecraft:swamp]]s, [[Minecraft:windswept forest]]s, [[Minecraft:pale garden]]s, or rising [[Minecraft:grove]]s that give way to mountains.
 
Because of the high humidities, [[Minecraft:lush caves]] are very common beneath old growth pine taigas.  


== Description ==
== Description ==
As the name implies, an old growth pine taiga includes trees that have attained a great age, and therefore great height.  
As the name implies, an old growth pine taiga includes trees that have attained a great age, and therefore great height. These pines grow all over the landscape, while most of them are tall with 2×2 trunks, regular pine and spruce trees can also generate.
 
Much of the [[Minecraft:grass block]]s are replaced by large swaths of [[Minecraft:podzol]] and [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]]. Additionally, [[Minecraft:Forest rock|rocks]] made of [[Minecraft:mossy cobblestone]] frequently generate on the ground and [[Minecraft:dead bush]]es generate alongside the [[Minecraft:sweet berry bush]]es, [[Minecraft:fern]]s, and [[Minecraft:large fern]]s. [[Minecraft:Mushroom]]s are more common here than in most Overworld biomes. 
 
[[Minecraft:Trail ruins]] may generate here, but [[Minecraft:villages]] and [[Minecraft:pillager outposts]] cannot. Black [[Minecraft:wolves]], [[Minecraft:fox]]es, and [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s{{only|java|short=1}} may spawn here. The climate is cold and allows [[Minecraft:snowfall]] above layer Y=200±8, but this only occurs on top of some trees on mountain slopes. Uniquely to this biome, [[Minecraft:zombie villagers]] have the highest spawn rate amongst all biomes.{{only|java|short=1}}


Pine grows all over the landscape, and most of them are the large 2×2 trees that grow significantly taller than regular trees. Much of the [[Minecraft:grass block]]s are replaced by large swaths of [[Minecraft:podzol]] and [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]]. Additionally, [[Minecraft:Forest rock|rocks]] made of [[Minecraft:mossy cobblestone]] frequently generate on the ground and [[Minecraft:dead bush]]es generate alongside the [[Minecraft:sweet berry bush]]es, [[Minecraft:fern]]s, [[Minecraft:large fern]]s, and [[Minecraft:short grass]] on the ground. [[Minecraft:Mushroom]]s are more common here than most [[Minecraft:Overworld]] biomes. [[Minecraft:Trail ruins]] may generate here. Black [[Minecraft:wolves]], [[Minecraft:fox]]es, and [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s{{only|java|short=1}} may spawn here. As the climate here is cold, [[Minecraft:rain]]fall changes to [[Minecraft:snowfall]] above layer Y=200±8.
[[Minecraft:Abandoned camp]]s sometimes generate in old growth pine taigas.


With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], old growth pine taigas use a coolish humid [[Minecraft:Fog#Volumetric fog|volumetric fog]] setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Old growth pine taigas have coolish color grading which tints the environment with a colder blue color, and cold sunlight which appears slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.

There are overall more trees in old growth pine taigas compared to normal taigas, leading to increased foliage density. This makes wood more abundant, though as a large portion of it grows as part of tall 2×2 spruce trees, it may be more difficult to obtain. Old growth pine taigas are slightly more difficult for survival than regular taigas for this reason, though aren't so bad once acclimated and strategies are used to clear the tall trees; they may offer more unique views compared to regular taigas as well.

Template:Infobox biome The old growth pine taiga or mega taiga is a forested Minecraft:biome filled with large 2×2 Minecraft:spruce trees, with the tall trees being mostly arrow-shaped: a thick trunk with few leaves at the top. The ground is made of Minecraft:podzol and Minecraft:coarse dirt and covered by Minecraft:mossy cobblestone rocks.

Generation

Old growth pine taigas generate at moderately low temperatures where humidity is very high, typically in areas of positive weirdness. They commonly border regular Minecraft:taigas and Minecraft:dark forests. They can also border Minecraft:old growth spruce taigas, a variant with mega spruce trees featuring leaves around the trunk, either directly or separated by a Minecraft:river.

The terrain around old growth pine taigas varies. They may border Minecraft:swamps, Minecraft:windswept forests, Minecraft:pale gardens, or rising Minecraft:groves that give way to mountains.

Because of the high humidities, Minecraft:lush caves are very common beneath old growth pine taigas.

Description

As the name implies, an old growth pine taiga includes trees that have attained a great age, and therefore great height. These pines grow all over the landscape, while most of them are tall with 2×2 trunks, regular pine and spruce trees can also generate.

Much of the Minecraft:grass blocks are replaced by large swaths of Minecraft:podzol and Minecraft:coarse dirt. Additionally, rocks made of Minecraft:mossy cobblestone frequently generate on the ground and Minecraft:dead bushes generate alongside the Minecraft:sweet berry bushes, Minecraft:ferns, and Minecraft:large ferns. Minecraft:Mushrooms are more common here than in most Overworld biomes.

Minecraft:Trail ruins may generate here, but Minecraft:villages and Minecraft:pillager outposts cannot. Black Minecraft:wolves, Minecraft:foxes, and Minecraft:rabbitsTemplate:Only may spawn here. The climate is cold and allows Minecraft:snowfall above layer Y=200±8, but this only occurs on top of some trees on mountain slopes. Uniquely to this biome, Minecraft:zombie villagers have the highest spawn rate amongst all biomes.Template:Only

Minecraft:Abandoned camps sometimes generate in old growth pine taigas.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, old growth pine taigas use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Old growth pine taigas have coolish color grading which tints the environment with a colder blue color, and cold sunlight which appears slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.
