Flower forests are biomes similar to regular forests, except that they have a much larger variation and frequency of flowers.

Description

Flower forests have both oak and birch trees. They generate with a wide array of flowers, along with bee nests on 5% of trees. Like almost every other Overworld biome, lava lakes can generate, which can cause small forest fires due to the density of flammable wood and leaves. The same goes for fire caused by lightning strikes, although the fire caused by the strikes are usually extinguished by rain.

Generation

Flower forests generate in medium temperature ranges and in low humidity, and are rarer than standard forest biomes. They are most commonly bordered by plains and meadow biomes or separated from sunflower plains, which generate in place of a flower forest in high weirdness, by rivers. Flower forests make up about 0.642% of the Overworld by area.

Differences to regular forests

There are some key differences between regular forests and flower forests.

• Flower forests have fewer trees and less grass. Instead, flower forests include a diverse variety of flowers. Leaf litter and bushes are completely absent.
• The vast number of flowers makes this biome variant an excellent source of dyes. The following types of flowers can be generated in flower forests:
  • Allium
  • Azure Bluet
  • Cornflower
  • Dandelion
  • Lily of the Valley
  • Oxeye Daisy
  • Poppy
  • Orange Tulip
  • Pink Tulip
  • Red Tulip
  • White Tulip
  • Lilac
  • Peony
  • Rose Bush
• The following flowers do not generate in flower forests:
  • Sunflower
  • Blue orchid
  • Eyeblossom
  • Torchflower
  • Pitcher plant
  • Wither rose
• There is a 10x greater chance of generating a bee nest.
• Flower forests are much rarer than regular forest biomes.
• There is also a slight difference in mob spawning:
  • Wolves cannot spawn in flower forests.
  • Rabbits can spawn in flower forests.
  • Bees also occur 10x more often, as there is 10x higher chance of spawning a bee nest with a tree.
