DEEP DIVESAROUND THE BLOCK: SPARSE JUNGLE
群系漫游：稀疏丛林

Welcome to the (edge of the) jungle, we’ve got cocoa beans!
好客丛林欢迎您


Minecraft’s jungles are generally pretty dense (just like my editor)! They’re packed with trees, bushes, vines, ocelots, and temples, to give you that intrepid feeling of exploring a verdant rainforest paradise.
Minecraft 中的丛林大多茂密异常。这里树木与灌木随处可见，藤蔓四处攀缘，豹猫成群结队，更有青翠掩映中的丛林神庙等待无畏的冒险家前来探索。

But what if you want a taste of that jungle feeling without quite so much stuff getting in the way? Allow me to introduce you to our biome of the month – the sparse jungle.
如果你想要体验丛林冒险的感觉，却又不想被乱七八糟的东西弄得碍手碍脚，就请允许我向你介绍我们本月的生物群系 —— 稀疏丛林。




Sparse jungles became a part of Minecraft in The Update That Changed The World, back in October 2013, though jungles (as we’ve previously discussed) had been around a bit longer. Originally, sparse jungles were called “jungle edge”, but we renamed them in our latest update in favor of something much more creative to reflect the new way that terrain is generated.
2013 年 10 月，稀疏丛林于改变世界的更新中加入 Minecraft，尽管丛林（前文见此）加入得更早一些。最初的稀疏丛林名为 “丛林边缘”，但在上次更新中我们给它改了名以显得更有创意以反映新的地形生成算法。

Sparse jungles spawn far fewer trees than regular jungles – and only small ones at that. But otherwise, it’s still a rich source of vines, cocoa, and melon. You won’t find any jungle temples here, because apparently, their ancient builders preferred to hide their secrets deeper into the rainforest. But generally, it’s a pretty great place to set up home – rich in flora, fauna, and those all-important building materials.
稀疏丛林中只会生成小型树，且数量远少于标准丛林。尽管如此 ，这里仍然富含藤蔓、可可豆和西瓜。这里找不到丛林神庙的踪影，雨林深处对那些远古时期的建筑师来说显然更适合藏匿秘密。总而言之，这里动植物资源和建筑材料丰富，是个宜居的地方。




In the real world, the edges of rainforests are one of the most beautiful but threatened ecosystems on our planet. Over the last few decades, humans have been cutting down more and more of the world’s rainforests to turn into cattle-grazing, crop-growing and urban areas and this process is estimated to be driving about 50,000 species into extinction every single year.
现实中，雨林边缘是地球上最美丽也是最濒临消失的地方。过去的数十年里，人类不断砍伐雨林作为牧场、耕地和城市化地区。据估计，这一进程每年都导致约 5 万种生物灭绝。

That’s a lot – if you said the name of one of those species every second, it would take you almost 14 hours to say them all. But it doesn't have to be this way. For millennia, indigenous peoples have successfully lived alongside the rainforest without destroying it – and there’s much we can learn from them.
这个数字相当大，如果你每秒钟数一种，得花将近 14 个小时才能数完。然而这本可以避免。当地人已在雨林周围生活了数千年，却并未破坏它，我们能从中学到的太多了。

If you’d like to know more, then check out our deforestation lesson in Minecraft: Education Edition. And for every rainforest tree you chop down in Minecraft, maybe try to plant a new one, yeah?
