The giant tree taiga hills or mega taiga hills biome is a hills variant of the giant tree taiga that no longer generates since Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and has been removed in Java Edition.

Like all other hills biomes, giant tree taiga hills featured elevated, hillier terrain compared to the tegular giant tree taiga, making the landscape less suitable for shelter. In any other aspect, the giant tree taiga hills generated the same way as the regular giant tree taiga. Podzol, coarse dirt, and rocks all generated on the hills. Wolves, foxes and rabbits‌^{[Java Edition only]} spawned here.

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

The appear similar to the regular old growth pine taiga. Cold animal variants spawn as well as black wolf variants. The snowfall height is increased to Y=200±8, covering only the highest mountain peaks in snow. Unlike in regular old growth pine taigas, trail ruins do not generate. No old growth taiga music tracks play, which is different from the giant spruce taiga hills.

With Vibrant Visuals, giant tree taiga hills use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint. Giant tree taiga hills have coolish color grading tints the environment with a colder blue color, and cold sunlight which appears slightly brighter at dusk and dawn.

Giant tree taiga hills use the same mob spawning chances as old growth pine taigas.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:
