For players who want more wood from fewer trees, Dense Trees Mod adds special tree variants that spawn randomly in the world and blend in with vanilla forests. The visual change is minimal aside from particles from the logs, but the payoff is practical: dense trees yield more logs when harvested, making wood gathering more efficient without changing the core feel of survival.
Key Features
- Dense trees generate naturally as variants of vanilla trees in forest biomes.
- These trees are intentionally subtle, with random particle effects from the logs as their main visual tell.
- Harvesting dense trees gives more logs, and each dense log can provide more planks than regular wood.
- Config options include a biome blacklist to prevent dense trees from spawning in selected biomes.
- Saplings can be allowed to grow into dense trees, with an adjustable chance from 0 to 100%.
