A jungle is a biome full of dense vegetation which generate in areas with high humidity values, often next to forests. There are three variations of jungles.

Description

Jungles contain varying vegetation, from the typical dense foliage of the main jungle biomes to the grassy meadows that form in sparse jungle biomes. Large oak trees and small or tall jungle trees generate here. Jungle trees can grow tall and are the tallest trees in the game, with the tallest of them being over 30 blocks in height. Many of the grass blocks have grass and ferns. Jungle bushes made of oak leaves[1] and a single log grow on the floor of the jungle, which frequently obstruct view of the light-green grass below. Many of the leaves and logs of both types are covered in vines.

Cocoa pods generate on logs of small jungle trees, and melons generate in patches on the ground. Melon patches are exclusive to jungle biomes, and they generate somewhat more often than pumpkin patches do in other biomes.

Parrots, ocelots, and pandas exclusively spawn in jungle biomes.

Jungles can border forests, plains, deserts, wooded badlands, birch forests and dark forests. Regular jungles are often separated from sparse jungles or bamboo jungles by rivers. Lush caves are common in jungle biomes due to their high humidity. They generate most in bamboo jungles, but also generate in regular jungles and sparse jungles. However, when the jungle or sparse jungle or bamboo jungle generated far inland, dripstone caves may generate under the jungle or sparse jungle or bamboo jungle instead.

Jungle pyramids, which are exclusive to jungle biomes, may generate in bamboo jungles‌ and regular jungles. As these temples are partially made of mossy cobblestone and also covered in vines, they can prove hard to spot from a distance due to the density of the trees.

In Bedrock Edition, cod and salmon are the only fish which may be caught when fishing in jungles. Otherwise, bamboo and cocoa beans‌ can also be collected.

Jungle biomes are significantly more resource-demanding to load and render compared to other biomes. Thus, players exploring in jungles may wish to turn down their graphics settings to avoid lag and FPS drops.[2] The frequency of large jungle trees generated in Bedrock Edition is lower than in Java Edition.

The regular biome variant features the distinctive large jungle trees and dense jungle bushes across the ground. Oaks and small jungle trees along with cocoa beans also generate here. Single shoots of bamboo may generate on the floor as well. Jungle pyramids and trail ruins may generate in this biome. Ocelots, parrots and pandas may spawn here. Lush caves are common in regular jungle biomes, and generates under about 60% of regular jungle biomes. However, when the regular jungle biome generated far inland, dripstone caves may generate under this biome instead.

Variants

There are three jungle biome variants: jungle, sparse jungle and bamboo jungle. There are four removed variants that generated before 1.18: jungle hills, modified jungle, modified jungle edge and bamboo jungle hills.
