Minecraft:Grove

Template:For Template:Infobox biome A grove is a snowy forest biome that often generates on the sides of Minecraft:mountains. Similar to the Minecraft:snowy taiga, it is filled with Minecraft:spruce trees but the ground is covered with Minecraft:snow blocks and occasional Minecraft:powder snow patches.

Generation

Groves usually generate as mountain slope biomes in cold to temperate climates, requiring medium to high humidity. As a result, they are frequently bordered by Minecraft:jagged peaks and Minecraft:frozen peaks in higher mountains.

Groves often border Minecraft:forests, Minecraft:taigas, Minecraft:meadows, Minecraft:birch forests, Minecraft:dark forests, and Minecraft:old growth taigas as the terrain lowers. In frozen climates, Minecraft:snowy taigas frequently border groves.

Very cold climates allow groves to stretch into flatter terrain and valleys, where they can cover thousands of blocks with thin Minecraft:frozen rivers, taigas, or snowy taigas biomes cutting through the valleys. If the humidity decreases, Minecraft:snowy slopes often generate instead.

Similar to other mountain biomes, the Minecraft:deep dark is very common deep underground. At shallower depths, Minecraft:dripstone caves and Minecraft:lush caves frequently generate. Minecraft:Ice caves often generate underground if temperatures are low and weirdness is high.Template:Upcoming

Description

A grove creates a forest of spruce Minecraft:trees on the sides of a mountain, reminiscent of a Minecraft:snowy taiga but the surface is covered Minecraft:snow blocks above a Minecraft:dirt ground, with Minecraft:snow layers on top. All spruce trees grow on a single block of dirt replacing snow blocks, with a slightly lower density than in snowy taigas.

Minecraft:Strips of Minecraft:powder snow occasionally replace snow blocks and the dirt below, where trees do not generate. Minecraft:Fallen trees and Minecraft:dying trees do not generate here.

Minecraft:Rabbits, snowy Minecraft:wolves, and snow Minecraft:foxes can spawn in this biome. Like other mountain biomes, emerald ore and Minecraft:infested stone can generate in stone under the ground. Minecraft:Pillager outposts are the only structures that generate here.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, groves use default environmental settings with a coolish color grading, making the biome appear colder blue. They use cold sunlight, which is slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.
