Bamboo Forest (Biome)

Description
The Bamboo Forest is a new biome in Minecraft: Ultimate Edition. It is not rare, but not common. It can be identified from hundreds of blocks away by large bamboo trees, shooting out of the ground. There are many mobs, it is supposed to be a chinese forest. A structure found here is the "pagoda" where you may find jade crystals in chests and jade blocks. You may also find Bamboo bridges across rivers. There is also the extremely rare Elder Pagoda, if you find it, you will summon the Chinese Dragon that will grant you a wish, you can get one stack of any item you want.

Fauna and Flora
There is only one actual type of plant found here and that is Bamboo, but there are many types of animals. Probably the most expected one is the Panda. It can be tamed to become a pet with bamboo stalks but will become hostile if attacked. Another is the Red Panda which is a passive mob. You can also find otters in rivers and deer. There is also the Chinese Dragon that can be summoned from the extremely rare "Elder Pagoda". If found, he will grant you a wish and then you get the choice for him to join you.
