Minecraft:Dark Forest

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 at moderate temperatures with very high Minecraft:humidity and are usually bordered by Minecraft:birch forests, but they can also border Minecraft:jungles, Minecraft:bamboo jungles, Minecraft:windswept forests, and Minecraft:old growth taigas.

Less commonly, they border Minecraft:swamps or Minecraft:groves. Dark forests can generate in a wide variety of terrains, including flatlands, plateaus, coasts, cliffs, or mountain valleys. Plateaus and mountain slopes in dark forests are often replaced by the Minecraft:pale garden variant.

Dark forests are one of the only biomes that can never border biomes with Minecraft:villages, though Minecraft:taigas or Minecraft:meadows may generate close.

Because of their high humidities, lush caves frequently generate beneath dark forests.

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.
