Taiga

Taiga is a cold, snow-covered Overworld biome of spruce forest.

Terrain

Taiga generates where temperature is at least 0.1 and below 0.5, and rainfall × temperature is 0.2 or more.

The surface is grass over dirt.

The sea surface generates as ice. The land generates under a layer of snow.

Snow falls in place of rain, and there is no lightning. Snow settles on the ground, and still water freezes to ice.

Vegetation

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

One tree in three is a pine, and the others are spruces.

Each chunk gets 2 patches of yellow flowers and 1 of tall grass.

Mobs

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