A grove creates a forest of spruce trees on the sides of a mountain, reminiscent of a snowy taiga but the surface is covered with snow layers, snow blocks, dirt and strips of powder snow instead of grass blocks. Rabbits, snowy wolves and snow foxes can spawn in this biome. This biome generates next to snowy slopes, some snowy plains, snowy taigas, taigas, old growth taigas, forests, birch forests, and dark forests.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:
