An arboretum is a lush biome, only present in 24w14potato. It generates in the Potato dimension.

Arboretum is a densely forested biome. All types of trees can generate here, in many variants:

• all variants of potato trees,
• small and large jungle trees,
• short and tall birches,
• normal and "fancy" oaks,
• as well as acacias, cherry trees, mangroves, spruces and dark oaks.

Trees can generate very closely to each other, even with no gap between two trunks, which is not possible in Overworld biomes. Foliage color in arboretum is not uniform, and it can vary from block to block, sometimes resulting in one tree having multiple colors of leaves.

Additionally, both red and brown huge mushrooms generate.

Surface of arboretum is covered with peelgrass blocks. Short grass, potato plants, and many types of flowers (including potato flowers) grow on top of it. "Park lane" features generate commonly among trees, connecting different parts of the biome.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:

Besides mentioned mobs, bees are common as well, due to trees generating many bee nests.
