About the Mod
This mod is dedicated to creating realistic forests and trees in Minecraft. Currently added are tree branch blocks and a special designer that allows creating custom saplings that will grow in various ways.
The trees in this mod are partially transferred from the TFC+ modification. The author expresses gratitude to Dunkleosteus for permission to adapt his wonderful trees for modern versions of Minecraft.
Manual Tree Creation
Currently the mod is available only in creative mode
When viewing JEI or the creative mode tab, you may notice many blocks without item models, having names like block.forest_tree.
Each wood type has 52 variants of branch blocks: two varieties (regular and end branches) for 26 possible directions. The only difference between end branches and regular ones is that spruce end branches have small leaves on their tips.
Branch blocks have an "age" state that can be changed using the debug stick. Older branches appear thicker.
Using a grafting tool on branch blocks adds new branches depending on where you're looking.
Currently, the mod doesn't add leaf blocks, but the introduction of other subdivided leaf blocks, such as leaf stairs and slabs, is planned for creating more detailed trees.
Tree Generation
The tree generation system in this mod is completely parametric. The mechanics of tree creation depend on 81 parameters.
You can use the tree designer to create custom saplings that will generate parametric trees.
More detailed information about the tree generation mechanism is available in the wiki. If you want to create your own trees using the designer block, it's recommended to familiarize yourself with its operating principles.
Replacement of standard tree generation in the world is not yet available, but will likely be implemented in the future.
Interaction with Trees
- Destroying one tree block leads to the removal of the entire branch. This function works only in survival mode.
Planned Features
World Generation
In the current version, the mod doesn't add anything to world generation. In future versions, the ability to replace standard tree generation will appear. Tree blocks will be able to drop up to 3 wood blocks, which will encourage forest cutting instead of growing your own trees from saplings.
Forestry
Saplings by default will generate only thin trees. Thick trees will not grow from standard saplings. Options for growing taller trees or using existing stumps for regrowing thick trees are possible.
Other Features
Items related to forestry or other forest-related products may be added.
