Jungle

The Jungle is one of the surface Biomes, similar to the Underground Jungle. It is composed primarily of Grass, Vines, Mud and Jungle Trees, with a dark green background. Moonglows can be found here. The jungle contains Piranhas, Jungle Slimes, Jungle Bats, and Snatchers. Jungle Trees are generated automatically in this biome, since Acorns cannot be planted on mud blocks.

The Jungle is a challenging area for new players. Jungle monsters have much more hp and deal more damage than the slimes you typically encounter on the surface. The Jungle Bats in particular can be quite deadly, their damage is not insignificant and they tend to swarm.

The Jungle can also be a very rewarding place to visit as well. Piranhas spawn quite often and will drop hooks, an extremely valuable item to a new character. Jungle Slimes drop a large amount of money, and are not too difficult to kill. The Jungle is also a source of Moonglows, which can be used to make Spelunker Potions; another very useful item for a new character.

If you don't want to start a new world it is possible to grow your own Jungle Biome with Mud and Jungle Grass Seeds.
