Dynamic Trees +: Expanding Minecraft's Plant World Capabilities

An official extension to the Dynamic Trees modification that takes dynamic vegetation beyond ordinary trees. This addon creates living, evolving flora without being limited to classic tree forms.

Main Features

Dynamic Cacti

The world now features four unique cactus species, each with its own appearance and characteristics. These plants can be found in desert biomes and badlands. Cactus behavior now resembles vanilla berry bushes: they slow movement and deal damage only upon collision (this behavior can be changed in settings). Cacti no longer destroy items on contact (this feature is also configurable). Saguaro cacti deserve special attention as they produce edible fruits - harvest them when you see opened flowers!

Giant Mushrooms (1.18.2 and above only)

Red and brown giant mushrooms now grow and fall like dynamic trees. Use a silk-touch axe to obtain mushroom blocks and stems, otherwise you'll get regular mushroom items. In mushroom biomes, mega variants of both mushroom types appear naturally and can also be obtained using potions of gigantism. A mystical atmosphere is created under huge mushrooms thanks to spore particles, and the mushroom caps themselves have bouncy properties!

Biome Changes

Badlands biomes are now populated with saguaro cacti - this is a direct adaptation of cacti from the 1.12.2 version of Dynamic Trees. Regular deserts feature pillar and pipe cacti, adding landscape variety. Dark forests are occasionally inhabited by red and brown giant mushrooms (1.18.2+ only), while mushroom fields are completely filled with mushrooms of all types, including their mega variants.

Seeds and Spores

Like in the main Dynamic Trees modification, each new plant species has its own items for planting and spreading. While cacti still use seeds, mushrooms reproduce through spores. In Dynamic Trees Plus, we decided to make mushroom caps the equivalent of seeds since they technically contain spores and are easier to distinguish in inventory.

System Requirements

The mod requires installed Dynamic Trees modification version 0.10.0+ for Minecraft 1.16.5 or version 1.0.2+ for Minecraft 1.18.2.
