Forest

The forest is a lush biome densely wooded with oak and birch trees. Woods wolves spawn here. The forest is the most common surface biome in Minecraft, making up about 12% of the Overworld's area.

Forest biomes generate in temperate, warm, and cold zones with a medium humidity. In mountainous jungles, forests generate more commonly as slope or plateau biomes bordering stony peaks.

This means that forests can border almost any other biome. Most commonly, they border plains and birch forests.
