Dappled Forest

A brand-new biome. What to know:

Springs up near colder regions of the world
Home to the mysterious Abandoned Camps

A place to grab yourself a Straw Bed

Poplar Tree

A fresh addition to the world's flora. Details:

Grows throughout the Dappled Forest

A dose of Bone Meal makes another shrub pop up nearby

Shelf Mushroom

A quirky new fungus. Worth knowing:

Clings to standing and fallen Poplar Trees
