Windswept Forest
Windswept Forest — biome.
Natural resources
The forest provides spruce wood, stone and the ordinary overworld ore set. Extra emerald generation and infested stone are part of the mountain generation pipeline, while small bushes and flowers break up the exposed slopes.
| Tree feature | minecraft:trees_windswept_forest |
|---|---|
| Extra ore | Emerald |
| Stone feature | Infested stone |
| Renewable materials | Spruce logs, leaves and saplings |
Natural generation
Windswept forest is a mountain biome built from steep stone terrain, spruce vegetation and exposed ridges. Its generation uses the three ordinary cave carvers and a cold surface pass that can freeze the top layer. Lower passes add lava lakes, amethyst geodes, monster rooms, the ordinary ore set, emerald ore and infested stone.

Exploration and building
Ridges and tree patches make the biome a useful landmark. Spruce logs and leaves support a renewable building palette, while broad ledges are safer for paths and bases than the steep exposed faces.
