on the pre-release candidates and 26.3 update; i've noticed the seed I typically play on is now generating fewer giant jungle trees in the jungle biome, of the few it does generate most of which are instead moderatly taller than medium oak trees or just as tall instead of closer to their peak height. i’ve played on this seed for a while, often creating new worlds on it as its great for finding the both jungle temples near spawn and the sniffer eggs early on. no matter how many times i re-create a new world in the latest update, the seed generates giant jungle trees fewer by a rather great margin of deference than what it used to. I like them as i can climb them to get a decent overview of my world, without flying. please increase the amount of giant jungle trees and/or just fix whatever is in the code that generates an overabundace of medium jungle trees with only occasional giant jungle trees.

back in the day there was a patch that had been introduced to increase giant jungle trees; I believe the goal was to have a bit of a rainforest canopy effect from the jungle leaves just a tad more often. now very rarely are we seeing such growth from natural generation, instead less often occurrences from smaller clumps of canopy foliage from mostly shorter trees; unless manually introduced. While I acknowledge that a ‘dense' canopy likely shouldn’t be made to be an constant, and more often the “jungle canopy would be less dense in minecraft instead; but its like we are missing both a quarter to a third of the taller giant jungle trees upper length. More specifically its like the ‘emergent layer' is generating directly ontop the understory layer, with very little to no canopy layer in-between.
