Forest is a warm, wooded Overworld biome.

Terrain

Forest generates where temperature is at least 0.5 and below 0.97, and rainfall × temperature is 0.35 or more. Where temperature is below 0.7 and rainfall × temperature above 0.5, Swampland generates instead.

The surface is grass over dirt.

Rain falls, and lightning strikes during thunderstorms.

Vegetation

Each chunk gets n + 5 trees, where n is the tree noise value. One chunk in ten gets one more.

One tree in five is a birch. Of the rest, one in three is a big tree and the others are ordinary trees.

Each chunk gets 2 patches of yellow flowers and 2 of tall grass.

Mobs

Forest uses the shared Overworld spawn lists, with the wolf added to the creature list at weight 2. Forest and Taiga are the only biomes where wolves spawn.
