Minecraft wiki entry for Taiga, associated text: Taiga biomes are grasslands with ferns, large ferns and spruce trees. Taigas are essentially a colder counterpart to the temperate forest biomes. Only spruces are natural to taigas, compared to oak and birch trees in forests. Due to the structure of spruce trees, more tall than wide, the foliage is somewhat less dense than in forests, but still dense enough to possibly get players lost. The vegetation takes an aqua hue, albeit it is dull. Tall grass, dandelions, poppies and sweet berry bushes generate fairly commonly in taigas. Pumpkin and red or brown mushroom patches are also possible to be found as well in small proportions, just like other forested biomes. In Bedrock Edition, the water coloration has an unique dark-turquiose tone. Due to the cold climate, rainfall changes to snowfall above layer 160 within taigas; however, this rarely happens outside of amplified worlds, as this biome gets replaced by mountain groves in large mountains and rarely generates in steep terrain. Wolves, foxes and rabbits spawn in taigas, though rabbits are not often seen due to wolves chasing after them and killing them. Outposts and villages generate in taigas ocasionally; villages are made of spruce wood appropriately and often contain pumpkin farms.
