The sparse jungle biome is a sparser variant of the jungle, resembling a lush plains biome with small jungle trees.

Description

The sparse jungle or jungle edge biome is a sparser variation of the jungle. Oak trees, jungle trees, jungle bushes, and patched melons generate here, though at significantly lower rates than the regular jungle, roughly comparable to the rate of trees in the savanna biome. Only small jungle trees generate in this biome. Bamboo does not generate here.^[1]

The grass still takes on a bright green color, though slightly less vibrant than the main jungle. Jungle pyramids do not generate.^[2] In Bedrock Edition, ocelots, parrots and pandas may spawn in this biome. Because of its slightly high humidity, it is possible for lush caves to generate underneath sparse jungles, but when the sparse jungle generated far inland, dripstone caves may generate under the sparse jungle instead.

The sparse jungle generates in areas with moderately high temperature and humidity and positive weirdness. It typically borders bamboo jungles, plains, old growth birch forests, deserts, wooded badlands, mangrove swamps and sometimes windswept savannas. At higher elevations it transitions to forest and stony peaks biomes. Rivers usually separate the biome from regular jungles. In coastal areas, sparse jungles border lukewarm oceans.
