A bamboo jungle is a variant of the jungle with dense bamboo growth and large jungle trees. Pandas are abundant in this biome.

Description

The bamboo jungle is a variant with dense bamboo growth. Oaks, jungle trees, and jungle bushes are much sparser in this variant than in the regular jungle, but denser than in the sparse jungle. Melon patches are as common as in regular variants. Some swaths of grass blocks are replaced with podzol (see: Bamboo (feature)). Naturally-generated trees are large variants; only 2×2 jungle trees and large, branching oak trees may generate, though many of the oaks are simply small "balloon" oaks. Cocoa beans cannot be found here, since they generate only on small jungle trees. All jungle-exclusive mobs spawn here. Pandas have a higher spawn rate in bamboo jungle than in regular jungle. Jungle pyramids may spawn here in Java Edition, whereas there are no jungle pyramids in Bedrock Edition.

The bamboo jungle generates in areas with moderately high temperature, very high humidity and positive weirdness. They typically border sparse jungles, dark forests, deserts, wooded badlands, mangrove swamps and sometimes windswept forests. At higher elevations they transition to regular jungles and stony peaks. They may also be separated from regular jungles by rivers. In coastal areas they border lukewarm oceans.

Due to their very high humidity values, bamboo jungles are almost guaranteed to have lush caves generate below them; however, when the bamboo jungle is generated far inland, dripstone caves may generate under the bamboo jungle instead.
