Old Growth Birch Forest
Old Growth Birch Forest — biome.
Obtaining
Natural generation
Old Growth Birch Forest is a temperate Overworld biome built around tall birch trees. Its generator combines ordinary Overworld caves, ores, soft disks and springs with tall birch placement, birch-forest wildflowers, bushes, mushrooms, pumpkins, sugar cane and firefly bushes near water. The result is a high canopy with a dense but readable forest floor.
