The bamboo jungle hills biome is a hills variant of the bamboo jungle biome that no longer generates as of Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and was removed in Java Edition.

Description

[edit | edit source]

Old

[edit | edit source]

The bamboo jungle hills was similar to the bamboo jungle, though with steeper terrain like the regular jungle hills. Large amounts of bamboo covered the landscape, and patches of podzol replaced most grass blocks. Naturally-generated jungle trees were always large variants, and pandas spawned here, like in the bamboo jungle. Jungle pyramids also generated here in Java Edition.

Current

[edit | edit source]

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

They appear similar to the current bamboo jungle, spawning warm animal variants.

With Vibrant Visuals, bamboo jungle hills use a strong humid volumetric fog setting, which fades the distance in an orange tint. Bamboo jungle hills use warmish and color grading, which makes the biome look more humid and warm. The night sky is slightly brighter and moonlight colored more vibrant blue.

Mobs

[edit | edit source]

In Java Edition, bamboo jungle hills used the same mob spawning chances as jungle hills for hostile and ambient categories, and had different chances for passive categories. In Bedrock Edition, bamboo jungle hills use the same mob spawning chances as bamboo jungles.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:

Mob	Spawn weight	Group size
Creature category
👁 Image Sheep	12	4
👁 Image Pig	10	4
👁 Image Chicken	10	4
👁 Image Cow	8	4
👁 Image Parrot	10	1
👁 Image Panda	80	1–2
Monster category
👁 Image Spider	100	1
👁 Image Zombie	95	2–4

👁 Image Slime^{[note 1]}	100	1
👁 Image Enderman	10	1–2
👁 Image Witch	5	1
Ambient category
👁 Image Bat	1	2

↑ Spawn attempt succeeds only in slime chunks.
