The dark forest hills or roofed forest mutated biome is a rare variant of the dark forest that no longer generates since Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and was removed in Java Edition.

Description

[edit | edit source]

Old

[edit | edit source]

The mountains and cliffs of the dark forest hills broke the leaf canopy, increasing visibility and decreasing the chance of daytime hostile mob spawning, though the hills were steeper compared to other hill biomes. Hills generated near rivers led to cliffs. Small plains biome clearings did not generate within the dark forest hills variant. The foliage was the same as in regular dark forests, with a high density of dark oak trees, oak trees, birch trees, and huge mushrooms. The ground was covered with different flowers. Woodland mansions also generated here, often with a very high base due to the high elevation.

Although this biome is called "dark forest hills", it did not actually generate as a "hills" variant, but as a "modified" variant of the dark forest, making it slightly rarer.

Current

[edit | edit source]

In Bedrock Edition, dark forest hills in older worlds still received updates. When generated through single biome or behavior packs, they can also generate new blocks.

It appears exactly the same as regular dark forests, with leaf litter covering the ground beneath trees.

The dark forest hills has a unique darker sky color and atmospheric effects with Vibrant Visuals. Sunlight is also less bright, and volumetric fog is slightly denser with stronger light shafts.

Mobs

[edit | edit source]

Dark forest hills use the same mob spawning chances as dark forests.
