In Java Edition 17 mob types can spawn in Old Growth Pine Taiga — hostile mobs: Creeper, Skeleton, Slime, Spider, Zombie and Zombie Villager and 2 more; passive mobs: Sheep, Chicken, Pig, Cow, Fox and Wolf and 1 more; ambient mobs: Bat; underground water mobs: Glow Squid.
Creeper, Skeleton, Slime and Spider share the highest spawn weight among the hostile mobs: 100 of 540 (18.5% each) in Java Edition.
Yes. Java Edition lists 17 spawn entries for Old Growth Pine Taiga, Bedrock Edition 16. For example, Creeper has a weight of 100/540 (18.5%) in Java and 100/495 (20.2%) in Bedrock. Use the edition switch above the tables to compare.
Each spawn attempt first picks a category (for example hostile or passive mobs), then one mob of that category at random, weighted by its spawn weight. A mob's chance is its weight divided by the total weight of its category in the biome — so the shares in each table add up to 100%.
