Taigas generate in the moderately high humidity zones of cold temperature areas, as well as the highest humidity zones of frozen areas. They commonly border [[Minecraft:Old Growth Taiga|old growth taigas]], [[Minecraft:forests]], and [[Minecraft:Snowy Taiga|snowy taigas]], and less frequently [[Minecraft:Birch Forest|birch forests]]. In cold temperature areas, they can generate in any type of terrain; flatlands near shattered [[Minecraft:windswept forests]] and [[Minecraft:swamps]], rolling slopes and plateaus, or [[Minecraft:mountains]] with [[Minecraft:groves]] on the slopes.
Taigas can generate in cold and humid climates bordering [[Minecraft:forest]]s, [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:birch forest]]s, and [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s. Generating in most types of terrain, they border [[Minecraft:windswept hills]] and [[Minecraft:swamp]]s when erosion is high, or [[Minecraft:meadow]]s and [[Minecraft:grove]]s near mountains.


In the frozen temperature areas, however, they only generate in medium to high erosion as vast groves replace them in mountainous terrain. They can sometimes still generate replacing rivers in the highest mountain peaks. When generated in frozen temperature areas, they create a large contrast with the snowy environment, most notably [[Minecraft:Frozen River|frozen rivers]] and [[Minecraft:Snowy Beach|snowy beaches]].  
Taigas can additionally generate in the frozen climate zones at the highest humidities, next to snowy taigas and other frozen biomes. This creates contrast when [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s cut through the biome, for example. When the erosion decreases here, taigas are widely replaced by groves, though they sometimes continue as small strips in the lowest parts of valleys.


Because these generate in the highest humidity, they are almost guaranteed to have [[Minecraft:Lush Caves|lush caves]] underground. Cold temperature zone taigas have a slightly lower chance of bordering lush caves.
[[Minecraft:Lush caves]] are common under taigas due to the biome's high humidity. Inland, [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] may generate instead. Any other cave biome may generate, despite being less common.

[[Minecraft:Pillager outpost]]s, [[Minecraft:village]]s, and [[Minecraft:trail ruins]] generate in taigas occasionally. These villages are made of spruce wood materials and often contain gardens with [[Minecraft:poppy]] and [[Minecraft:pumpkin]] farms.

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 coolish color grading tints the environment with a colder blue color, and cold sunlight which appears slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.

Template:Infobox biome 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:Foxes and Minecraft:wolves commonly spawn here.

Generation

Taigas can generate in cold and humid climates bordering Minecraft:forests, Minecraft:old growth taigas, Minecraft:birch forests, and Minecraft:snowy taigas. Generating in most types of terrain, they border Minecraft:windswept hills and Minecraft:swamps when erosion is high, or Minecraft:meadows and Minecraft:groves near mountains.

Taigas can additionally generate in the frozen climate zones at the highest humidities, next to snowy taigas and other frozen biomes. This creates contrast when Minecraft:frozen rivers cut through the biome, for example. When the erosion decreases here, taigas are widely replaced by groves, though they sometimes continue as small strips in the lowest parts of valleys.

Minecraft:Lush caves are common under taigas due to the biome's high humidity. Inland, Minecraft:dripstone caves may generate instead. Any other cave biome may generate, despite being less common.

Description

The taiga's surface is a grassland with a large number of Minecraft:ferns and Minecraft:large ferns, and is forested with pine and spruce Minecraft:trees, which are the only trees that can generate in this biome. The vegetation also includes Minecraft:sweet berry bushes, and takes an aquamarine color tone. The Minecraft:water coloration has a unique dark turquoise tone Template:In.

Cold Minecraft:animal variants spawn in the taiga, as well as Minecraft:foxes and pale Minecraft:wolves. Minecraft:Rainfall is common and changes to Minecraft:snowfall above the layer Y=160±8 within taigas due to the humid and cold climate.

Minecraft:Pillager outposts, Minecraft:villages, and Minecraft:trail ruins generate in taigas occasionally. These villages are made of spruce wood materials and often contain gardens with Minecraft:poppy and Minecraft:pumpkin farms. Minecraft:Abandoned camps sometimes generate in taigas.

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