Where to find Dappled Forest biome in Minecraft
You can find Dappled Forest biomes situated in cold regions with very low humidity in Minecraft. This causes them to very commonly border Plains, Ice Spikes, Sunflower Plains, and Cherry Grove biomes, so anytime you come across one of these regions, be sure to check out all neighboring areas for a chance of encountering a Dappled Forest.
Dappled Forests never border any other woodland biomes, and they can generate in any type of terrain. Although you can use all of these tips to help make finding one easier, ultimately, you just have to explore and hope luck is on your side when hunting for one if you want to find this biome naturally.
Since the Dappled Forest biome wasn’t always around and was only introduced as part of the Wilderness Bound update, it’s tougher to find in worlds you may have created and played on prior to it. If you want to find this biome in an older world, you’ll need to venture to areas you’ve never been, as it cannot spawn somewhere you’ve already visited.
