The sparse jungle or jungle edge biome is a sparser variant of the jungle.

Description

The sparse jungle or jungle edge biome is a sparser variation of the jungle. Oak trees, jungle trees, jungle bushes, and patched melons generate here, though at significantly lower rates than the regular jungle, roughly comparable to the rate of trees in the savanna biome. Only small jungle trees generate in this biome. Bamboo does not generate here.

The grass still takes on a bright green color, though slightly less vibrant than the main jungle. Jungle pyramids do not generate. In Bedrock Edition, ocelots, parrots and pandas may spawn in this biome. Because of its slightly high humidity, it is possible for lush caves to generate underneath sparse jungles, but when the sparse jungle generated far inland, dripstone caves may generate under the sparse jungle instead.

Mobs

The following mobs are naturally spawned here:
