The forest is the most common land biome in ''Minecraft'', taking up just under 11% of the Overworld's area. == Description == Forests feature dense [[tree]]s compared to other biomes. [[Lily of the valley]], [[rose bush]]es, [[peonies]] and [[lilac]]s generate in this biome family along with the usual [[dandelion]]s; {{in|java}}, [[poppies]] also generate here. [[Grass Block|Grass]] takes on a dark but vibrant green color. Bees from bee nests on trees are found as well. Like almost every other [[Overworld]] biome in the game, [[lava lake]]s can generate here, which can cause locally destructive forest [[fire]]s, due to the density of flammable [[log]]s and [[leaves]]; the same goes for [[lightning]] strikes that hit the trees during [[thunderstorm]]s, though the fires caused by the strikes are usually quickly put out by the [[rain]]. == Mobs == The following [[mob]]s are naturally spawned here： {{Spawn table |edition=java |monster= {{Spawn row|Creeper|weight=100|size=4}} {{Spawn row|Skeleton|weight=100|size=4}} {{Spawn row|Slime|weight=100|size=4|note=Spawn attempt succeeds only in slime chunks.}} {{Spawn row|Spider|weight=100|size=4}} {{Spawn row|Zombie|weight=95|size=4}} {{Spawn row|Enderman|weight=10|size=1-4}} {{Spawn row|Witch|weight=5|size=1}} {{Spawn row|Zombie Villager|weight=5|size=1}} |creature= {{Spawn row|Sheep|weight=12|size=4}} {{Spawn row|Chicken|weight=10|size=4}} {{Spawn row|Pig|weight=10|size=4}} {{Spawn row|Cow|weight=8|size=4}} {{Spawn row|Woods Wolf|weight=5|size=4}} |ambient= {{Spawn row|Bat|weight=10|size=8}} |underground= {{Spawn row|Glow Squid|weight=10|size=4-6}} }} {{Spawn table |edition=bedrock |monster= {{Spawn row|Creeper|weight=100|size=1}} {{Spawn row|Slime|weight=100|size=1|note=Spawn attempt succeeds only in slime chunks.}} {{Spawn row|Spider|weight=100|size=1}} {{Spawn row|Zombie|weight=95|size=2-4}} {{Spawn row|Skeleton|weight=80|size=1-2}} {{Spawn row|Enderman|weight=10|size=1-2}} {{Spawn row|Witch|weight=5|size=1}} {{Spawn row|Zombie Villager|weight=5|size=2-4}} |creature= {{Spawn row|Sheep|weight=12|size=2-3}} {{Spawn row|Chicken|weight=10|size=2-4}} {{Spawn row|Glow Squid|weight=10|size=2-4}} {{Spawn row|Pig|weight=10|size=1-3}} {{Spawn row|Cow|weight=8|size=2-3}} {{Spawn row|Woods Wolf|weight=5|size=4}} |ambient= {{Spawn row|Bat|weight=10|size=2}} }} {{-}} == Sounds == === Music === These music tracks play while the player is in the forest. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="width: 100%; text-align: center; font-size: smaller" data-description="Music tracks" !'''Filename
