The jungle hills biome is a hills variant of the jungle biome that no longer generates since Caves & Cliffs: Part II, and was removed in Java Edition.

Description

Old

Similar to other hills biomes, the jungle hills featured steeper terrain, making it a more difficult variant of the already difficult jungle for survival purposes. The foliage generated was similar to its regular counterpart, with large or small jungle trees (sometimes with cocoa pods), large or small oak trees, melon patches, bamboo, and jungle bushes. Ocelots, parrots and pandas also spawned here and jungle pyramids generated here.

Current

In Bedrock Edition, jungle hills in older worlds still received updates. When generated through single biome or behavior packs, they can also generate new blocks.

They appear similar to the current jungle, spawning warm animal variants. However, trail ruins do not generate.

With Vibrant Visuals, jungle hills use a strong humid volumetric fog setting, which fades the distance in an orange tint. Jungle hills use warmish and color grading, which makes the biome look more humid and warm. The night sky is slightly brighter and moonlight colored more vibrant blue.

Mobs

In Java Edition, jungle hills used the same mob spawning chances as jungles for ambient categories, and had different chances for the others, while in Bedrock Edition, jungle hills use the same mob spawning chances as jungles.
