Jungle
Overworld (lush)
Dense rainforest with giant trees, bamboo and vines. Hard to move through, but packed with resources that exist nowhere else.
Resources
- Jungle wood, bamboo, cocoa beans, vines and melons
- Jungle temple loot and suspicious gravel (archaeology)
- Ocelots, parrots and pandas
- Moss carpets and glow berries in lush caves below
Mobs
- Pandas (bamboo jungle variant)
- Ocelots
- Parrots (tameable with seeds)
- Standard hostile mobs under the canopy
Structures
- Jungle temples (arrow traps, puzzle chest, loot)
Why go
- Only biome with pandas and cocoa beans
- Bamboo for scaffolding - the builder's essential block
- Parrots mimic nearby mob sounds: a living mob radar
Tips
- Jungle temples: defuse the tripwire arrows before touching the chests. The hidden chest behind the lever puzzle can also be reached by simply mining through the wall.
- Travel on the canopy, not the floor - it is twice as fast.
