To date, 19 distinct biomes have been categorised in the Twilight Forest dimension. New adventurers are recommended to craft for themselves a [[Magic Map]], which will display the different areas in different colours, as well as the holder's exact position on the map. Major and minor landmarks are also marked prominently on the map.

While each area has its own unique characteristics, there are several common elements between some biomes that group them together in the following categories.
This biome exemplifies the Twilight Forest. [[Twilight Forest Trees#Canopy%20Trees|Canopy Trees]] stretch overhead, trees grow thickly throughout, and occasional [[Twilight Forest Trees#Twilight%20Oaks|Twilight Oaks]] grow to cloud level. <span style="line-height: 1.5;">On the ground, [[Passive Creatures|woodland creatures]] can be found as in other biomes as well as ferns, tall grass, and the occasional patch of mushrooms.

==Common Biomes==
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> The Dense Twilight Forest biome is hillier and more thickly forested than the normal Twilight Forest biome. Bushes and other ground vegetation make it difficult to navigate. Ferns outnumber any other type of ground cover in this biome.</span>

These biomes form the vast majority of the dimension, with a wide variety of plant life, animals, ancient ruins and some hidden treasures for the sharp-eyed explorer. In common with the Overworld, some natural terrain features such as ponds, lava pools and chasms have also been seen.

Many have found the Twilight Forest especially peaceful to visit, as monsters are rarely encountered on the surface - only occasionally being seen shambling out of caves or ruins. As such, these biomes are relatively safe to travel in. No magical protections have been found here either, so any fresh faced adventurer can step foot in them without restriction.
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> The Twilight Forest Swamp biome has [[Twilight Forest Trees#Mangroves|Mangroves]] and swamp oak trees, with vines growing throughout. Many small pools of water have sand or clay at the bottom. There is a chance you may run across a [[Hydra Lair]] in this biome. [[Mosquito Swarm|Mosquito Swarms]] are very abundant in Twilight Swamps.</span>

* [[Twilight Forest]]
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> A strange variant of the Swamp with rust-red grass and foliage. Lava pools replace water pools here. Small marks on the ground occasionally erupt into [[Fire Jet|Fire Jets]] or columns of [[Smoking Block|Smoking Blocks]]. The Fire Swamp is the natural home of the [[Hydra]] in the [[Hydra Lair]]. </span>

These warm and humid biomes are typically found clumped together here and there across the dimension, with the Fire Swamp surrounded by the normal Swamp. Due to the wet and slightly treacherous terrain, no structures such as [[Hollow Hill]]s have been found here, though the [[Twilight Forest Trees#Twilight Oak|Giant Oak Trees]] seem to be hardy enough to thrive despite the conditions.
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> The Highlands are high plateaus covered in birch trees, pine trees, and large oak trees. <span style="line-height: 1.5;">Exposed Stone, Coal, and Iron can sometimes be also found in this biome, with the occasional [[Landmarks|Landmark]].</span></span>
----
=Mushroom Forest=
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">[[image:http://i.imgur.com/lq6Yj.png]]</span>


'''Progression'''
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> The Mushroom Forest is similar to the Twilight Forest biome, but instead has gigantic mushroom trees. This biome features more mushrooms than normal. Mushroom Canopy Trees occasionally replace the normal Canopy Trees, and giant mushrooms dot the landscape.</span>
----
=Deep Mushroom Forest=
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">[[image:http://i.imgur.com/MyjSG.png]]</span>


A curse of [[Mosquito Swarm | Mosquitoes]] has been placed on the Swamp, causing debilitating hunger on anyone who steps foot here. Only by defeating a [[Twilight Lich]] will this protection be lifted. Additionally, the Fire Swamp is wreathed in burning ash and cinders, setting alight anyone who attempts to penetrate further into this strange biome. Slaying a [[Minoshroom]] and eating some of its [[Meef Stroganoff]] will provide protection against this effect.
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> This biome occasionally occurs rarely inside the Mushroom Forest biome. The mushrooms, huge mushrooms and canopy mushrooms are especially thick here, and patches of [[http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Mycelium|Mycelium]] replace the grass in spots.</span>
----
=Clearing=
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">[[image:Better Twilight Forest Clearing.png|640x334px]]</span>


* [[Twilight Swamp]]
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> A flat, grassy spot of the forest with few trees and lots of high grass and flowers. Adventures can find many [[Landmarks|Small Landmarks]] throughout this biome. Clearings are the main place to find [[Labyrinth|Labyrinths]] and have fewer <span style="line-height: 1.5;">caves to make room for the Labyrinth's immense size.</span></span>
* [[Fire Swamp]]
----
=Lake=
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">[[image:Better Twilight Forest Lake.png|640x334px]]</span>


==Dark Forest Biomes==
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> Deep in the forest, you might encounter these huge, deep blue lakes. The Lake is similar to overworld oceans but much smaller. <span style="line-height: 1.5;">It is a mystery as to what these Lakes will contain. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Is is rumored that one day an island might appear in the lakes. Who knows what it will hold?</span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">[[image:Better Twilight Forest Dark Forest.png|640x334px]]</span>


Compared to the generally peaceful atmosphere throughout the Twilight Forest, the Dark Forest biomes cast a grim and foreboding shadow on the land wherever they are encountered. Even looking across the top of the forest is a depressing sight, with nothing but a flat, desert like expanse of tree tops to be seen. No light can penetrate this canopy, making the forest floor extremely dark and dangerous, with many monsters residing within.
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;"> The Dark Forest is a spooky place. [[Twilight Forest Trees#Darkwood%20Trees|Darkwood Trees]] leave most sections of this biome as dark as underground. Above the trees, ponds, and, much less commonly, lava pools (which don't burn the leaves), can be generated, as well as the frightening [[Dark Tower]] and [[Goblin Knight Stronghold]]. The mobs found here are [[Monsters|Skeletal Druids]], [[Monsters#Kobold|Kobolds]], Zombies, Skeletons, [[Monsters#Mistwolf|Mistwolves]], and [[Monsters#King%20Spider|King Spiders]]. Dark Forests are the only place to find [[Dark Tower|Dark Towers]], [[Goblin Knight Stronghold]]s, Mistwolves and King Spiders.</span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5;">**Enchanted Forest**</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5;"> [[image:Twilight Forest Enchanted Forest.png|640x334px]]</span>


'''Progression'''
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5;"> The Enchanted Forest is a rare and wonderful find. It is notable for its ever-changing foliage colors, which cycle between several shades of blue, green and a combination of the two. [[Twilight Forest Trees#Rainbow%20Trees|Rainbow Trees]] spawn here in lieu of [[Twilight Forest Trees#Canopy%20Trees|Canopy Trees]], which can still be found but in far fewer numbers. The Enchanted Forest is the only biome where it is possible to find the [[Quest Grove]] containing the [[Quest Ram]], which is an even more valuable find as it poses the potential to receive one of each resource block for feeding the Quest Ram one of each color of wool, a potentially very powerful gift for starting adventures or a good booster for adventures that have progressed far.</span>

=Snowy Forest=
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5;">[[image:http://i.imgur.com/SlazW.png]]</span>


Strands of black magic have been seen in the Dark Forest, inflicting blindness on top of the night-like conditions. Defeating a [[Twilight Lich]] will dispel this effect, but only on the outer Forest. For those wishing to explore further into the strangely autumn-like centre of the Forest, they must venture into the [[Goblin Knight Stronghold]]s and defeat the [[Knight Phantom]]s that rest in their tombs in order to completely remove the blindness curse, as well as unlock the [[Dark Tower]] at the heart of the Forest.
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5;"> The Snowy Forest is very similar to the Taiga biome of the overworld. Spruce Trees are abundant, as is the thick snow covering. Oak Trees have a chance to spawn here, however. The Snowy Forest is always found surrounding a Glacier biome.</span>
----
=Glacier=
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5;">[[image:http://i.imgur.com/KZG7h.png]]</span>


* [[Dark Forest]]
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5;"> Glaciers are gigantic slabs of ice that are several hundred meters wide and long and several dozen meters tall. Colonies of [[Passive Creatures#Penguins|Penguins]] can be found on top of a Glacier.</span>
* [[Dark Forest Center]]
----
=Twilight Stream=
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5;">[[image:http://i.imgur.com/nphsN.png]]</span>


==Cold Biomes==
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.5;"> More often than not, Twilight Streams serve as a border between two or more biomes and can be seen as such on a [[Magic Map]]. More lily pads appear in Twilight Streams than in overworld rivers. </span>
[[image:Snowy Biomes.png|500px|center]]
 
Deeply cold and forbidding, the cold biomes are easily spotted with snow coating the land, frozen streams and tall, hardy fir trees specially adapted to the conditions. One must use caution here, as several dangerous creatures like to make their home here and do not take kindly to intruders.
 
'''Progression'''
 
A ferocious blizzard sweeps through these areas, making travel virtually impossible with reduced visibility and extremely impaired mobility. Defeating a [[Twilight Lich]] calms the weather in the Snowy Forest, but the tall and imposing Glacier at the centre remains cloaked in freezing ice. Killing a fearsome [[Alpha Yeti]] and touching its magical fur will confer some of this power, providing protection against the blizzard and allowing exploration onto the Glacier itself.

==Highland Biomes==
[[image:Highlands Biome.png|center|500px]]
 
These mountainous regions rise prominently out of the Twilight Forest and for many determined adventurers, represent the final challenge. The Highlands resemble the rocky Mega Taiga found occasionally in the Overworld, but as one climbs higher up, they encounter the nearly impenetrable barrier that is the Thornlands. Through these a brave explorer may glimpse the strangely barren Final Plateau, and perhaps even the awe-inspiring [[Final Castle]], casting its shadow over the dimension.
 
'''Progression'''
 
Most never set foot here, as a toxic acid rainstorm floods the Highland biomes making any exploration foolhardy at best. "Final challenge" is an apt description, for only by defeating the [[Hydra]], [[Ur-Ghast]] and [[Snow Queen]] will the rainstorm cease.

* [[Thornlands]]

==Rare Biomes==
[[image:Enchanted Forest Biome.png|center|500px]]
 
As the name suggests, these  biomes are only occasionally encountered throughout the Twilight Forest. Those who stumble upon these areas can expect to find truly unique scenery and creatures that will only make their homes here. Perhaps in spite of the curses that have befallen other areas of the dimension, no barriers to exploration exist on these magical places.
