Minecraft wiki entry for Best_biomes_for_homes, associated text: Bamboo jungles are not recommended for many reasons. One, they have far less wood than normal jungles. Two, they can be very laggy even if you have a very good device. And three, they are quite difficult to navigate and to build defenses in. Even the bamboo itself has little practical use other than making scaffoldings, sticks, and as a poor fuel source.
