The '''lush caves''' is a temperate [[Minecraft:Biome#Cave_biomes|cave biome]] with unique fauna and flora found underground below humid biomes, indicated above ground by [[Minecraft:azalea tree]]s. Exclusive mobs, such as [[Minecraft:axolotls]], [[Minecraft:glow squid]], and [[Minecraft:tropical fish]] can spawn here.

Lush caves generate underground at any altitude and temperature, underneath biomes with high [[Minecraft:humidity]] values (≥ 0.7). This makes them most commonly found beneath [[Minecraft:dark forest]]s, [[Minecraft:jungle]]s, [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:wooded badlands]], and [[Minecraft:taiga]]s within frozen biomes.
Lush caves generate underground, typically in areas with high [[Minecraft:humidity]] values. This makes lush cave generation very common beneath humid biomes including [[Minecraft:Dark forest|dark forests]], [[Minecraft:Bamboo jungle|bamboo jungles]], and [[Minecraft:Old growth taiga|old growth taigas]], and to a lesser extent [[Minecraft:Taiga|taigas]], [[Minecraft:Jungle|jungles]], and [[Minecraft:wooded badlands]]. Regions far inland generate lush caves less frequently due to the increased likelihood of [[Minecraft:Dripstone Caves|dripstone caves]] generating instead.{{until|be 26.60}}


Less commonly, they generate under [[Minecraft:windswept forest]]s, [[Minecraft:mangrove swamp]]s, [[Minecraft:birch forest]]s, other taigas, and [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s. When these biomes generate far inland, however, [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]] may generate instead.
Lush caves sometimes generate beneath [[Minecraft:ocean]]s and [[Minecraft:desert]]s, whose generation is independent of humidity values.
 
It is not possible for lush caves to generate beneath [[Minecraft:forest]]s and grassland biomes like [[Minecraft:plains]] and [[Minecraft:savanna]] as they are not humid enough.

Template:Infobox biome Lush caves are vibrant cave biomes with unique vegetation, indicated above ground by Minecraft:azalea trees. Minecraft:Aquatic mobs such as Minecraft:glow squid and Minecraft:tropical fish spawn here. It is also the only biome where Minecraft:axolotls spawn.

Generation

Lush caves generate underground, typically in areas with high Minecraft:humidity values. This makes lush cave generation very common beneath humid biomes including dark forests, bamboo jungles, and old growth taigas, and to a lesser extent taigas, jungles, and Minecraft:wooded badlands. Regions far inland generate lush caves less frequently due to the increased likelihood of dripstone caves generating instead.Template:Until

Lush caves sometimes generate beneath Minecraft:oceans and Minecraft:deserts, whose generation is independent of humidity values.

Description

Minecraft:Azalea trees generate on any empty space above a lush cave, with roots consisting of Minecraft:rooted dirt and Minecraft:hanging roots that generate down until reaching the lush cave. This is most common at the surface, but they can sometimes generate inside caves if there is enough room.

Underground, moss covers the floors and ceilings, along with Minecraft:moss carpets, Minecraft:short grass, Minecraft:tall grass, and Minecraft:azalea bushes on the ground. On the ceiling, Minecraft:vines and Minecraft:cave vines with Minecraft:glow berries grow down and light up the caves, and Minecraft:spore blossoms grow from the ceiling and fill the caves with Minecraft:particles.

Shallow lakes lined with Minecraft:clay generate between the moss on the ground, filled with Minecraft:dripleaf plants. Minecraft:Tropical fish and Minecraft:axolotls are unique to these pools, whereas common cave mobs like Minecraft:bats and Minecraft:glow squid can also spawn. While hostile mobs can spawn throughout the biome, many areas have a light level greater than 0 due to the pervasive Minecraft:glow berries.

Minecraft:Stone and variants containing Minecraft:ores are sparsely exposed between the vegetation.

Asides from the regular underground Minecraft:structures that can generate in all biomes, Minecraft:woodland mansions rarely generate on the surface above lush caves Template:In.

In Bedrock Edition, lush caves are arid biomes with no Minecraft:rain and dry grass colors, although this is barely noticable underground.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, lush caves biomes use a strong humid volumetric fog setting similar to Minecraft:jungles, which fades the distance in an orange tint. Lush caves have default atmospherics and lighting, and warmish color grading, which makes the biome look more humid and warm, while also notably increasing the color contrast.
