Jungle Biomes in Minecraft: Parrots, Pandas and Temples
Jungles are hot, wet forests of giant jungle trees over 30 blocks tall, vines, cocoa beans and melons. Parrots, ocelots and pandas spawn only in jungles. The bamboo jungle is the panda capital, and the sparse jungle has fewer, smaller trees. Jungle pyramids hide arrow traps and loot.
What are the jungle types?
| Biome | What is special |
|---|---|
| Jungle | Giant 2×2 jungle trees, vines, cocoa beans, melons, jungle pyramids |
| Bamboo jungle | Dense bamboo on podzol, only giant jungle trees, most pandas |
| Sparse jungle | Small jungle trees only, no bamboo, rusty wolves |
Rusty wolves live only in sparse jungles; see wolves.

How do you get through a jungle?
Climb a giant tree for a view, use vines as ladders, and cut paths with an axe. Jungles are humid, so lush caves often lie beneath them; see lush caves.
