Minecraft:Old Growth Spruce Taiga

Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox biome The old growth spruce taiga or redwood taiga mutated is a forested Minecraft:biome covered with tall Minecraft:spruce trees.

Generation

Old growth spruce taigas generate at very high Minecraft:humidity, moderately low temperature and negative weirdness. They border normal Minecraft:taigas, Minecraft:dark forests, Minecraft:groves, Minecraft:swamps, and Minecraft:windswept forests. Old growth spruce taigas can border Minecraft:snowy taigas, but only do at the tops of a plateau. At higher elevations they transition to Minecraft:groves and Minecraft:jagged peaks. Due to their very high humidity values, old growth taigas are almost guaranteed to have Minecraft:lush caves generate beneath them; however, if the old growth spruce taiga generated far inland, Minecraft:dripstone caves may generate under the old growth taiga instead. They are often separated from Minecraft:old growth pine taigas by Minecraft:rivers. In coastal areas they border Minecraft:cold oceans.

Description

File:Mega Spruce Taiga.png

An old growth spruce taiga.

Spruce trees are abundant in old growth spruce taigas, and most of them are the large 2×2 trees that grow significantly taller than regular trees. Much of the Minecraft:grass blocks are replaced by large swathes 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, Minecraft:large ferns, and Minecraft:short grass on the ground. Minecraft:Mushrooms are more common here than most Minecraft:Overworld biomes. Minecraft:Trail ruins may generate here. Chestnut Minecraft:wolves, Minecraft:foxes and Minecraft:rabbits Template:Only may spawn here. As the climate here is cold, Minecraft:rainfall changes to Minecraft:snowfall above layer Y=160±8.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, old growth spruce taigas use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Old growth spruce taigas have default atmospherics and lighting similar to temperate biomes, but coolish color grading tints the environment with a colder blue color.

There are overall more trees in old growth spruce 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 spruce 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.
