Jungle Terraria biome · Surface
The Jungle is a dense, green biome of mud, jungle grass, vines and mahogany trees. It is on the opposite side of the world from the Dungeon and continues down into the Underground Jungle. It is one of the hardest early areas, but it holds Bee Hives, Ivy Chests and key Hardmode resources.

Where to find it
Head away from the Dungeon and the Snow biome. The surface Jungle sits near the Desert on that side, and the Underground Jungle below it runs deep into the Cavern layer.
In Hardmode
Enemies hit much harder, with Derplings, Giant Tortoises and Angry Trappers. Chlorophyte Ore starts growing as soon as Hardmode begins, and Life Fruit appears after a mechanical boss, and Plantera's Bulbs grow once all three are beaten.

Tips
- Wear at least Silver or Tungsten armor before exploring.
- Fishing in the Jungle gives Jungle Crates with the same loot as Ivy Chests.
- Before Hardmode, dig a wide gap around the Jungle to slow the evil biome; in Hardmode you can also plant Hallow as a buffer.
