Dynamic Trees - Dynamic Trees

About the Mod

Dynamic Trees completely transforms the tree system in Minecraft, turning them into living, evolving organisms. The mod creates more realistic and aesthetic forests while preserving the original game's styling.

Key Features

Tree Growth

Trees develop gradually from seeds into mature plants. Each species has a unique growth algorithm based on real botanical processes. Plants adapt to environmental conditions, navigating around obstacles and responding to lighting.

Seed System

Instead of standard saplings, the mod uses seeds that randomly fall from trees. Seeds can self-germinate on suitable soil when exposed to sunlight.

Soil and Fertilizers

Rooty soil provides nutrition to trees and can deplete over time. Applying bone meal increases fertility, allowing trees to grow beyond their normal size. Special potions provide various effects on plant development.

Seasonal System

Trees respond to seasonal changes, slowing or stopping growth depending on climatic conditions. Fruits have specific flowering and harvesting seasons.

Forest Ecosystems

As seeds spread, the forest line expands. Trees compete for sunlight, forming natural forest layers. Dense canopies create shady forests where mobs can spawn even during the day.

Harvesting

When cutting a tree at its base, the entire plant falls down. Thick branches require more time to harvest. Tools wear out proportionally to the amount of wood collected.

Compatibility

The mod maintains full compatibility with original Minecraft trees. All drops correspond to vanilla items. Wood and leaf textures are compatible with resource packs.

Additions

Dynamic Trees Plus expands the mod's capabilities by adding dynamic versions of other vegetation such as cacti and huge mushrooms.

Tree Packs System

The mod supports a Tree Packs system based on JSON, allowing complete customization of trees and creation of new plant species without programming.

Technical Features

Trees grow using a combination of cellular automata for leaves and network logic for trunks and branches. Rendering is performed using BakedModels for optimal performance.
