Minecraft:Lush Caves

Template:Infobox biome The lush caves is a temperate cave biome with unique fauna and flora found underground below humid biomes, indicated above ground by Minecraft:azalea trees. Exclusive mobs, such as Minecraft:axolotls, Minecraft:glow squid, and Minecraft:tropical fish can spawn here.

Generation

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 forests, Minecraft:jungles, Minecraft:old growth taigas, Minecraft:wooded badlands, and Minecraft:taigas within frozen biomes.

Less commonly, they generate under Minecraft:windswept forests, Minecraft:mangrove swamps, Minecraft:birch forests, other taigas, and Minecraft:snowy taigas. When these biomes generate far inland, however, Minecraft:dripstone caves may generate instead.

It is not possible for lush caves to generate beneath Minecraft:forests and grassland biomes like Minecraft:plains and Minecraft:savanna as they are not humid enough.

Lush caves can 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.

The Swedish painter Template:W was one of the main inspirations behind the design and idea of the lush caves Minecraft:biome, specifically Bauer's 'Oskuldens Vandring' (Innocent's Journey) painting.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref>
