Lakul's Enhanced Vanilla Trees

Do the trees feel a bit too short? Got charcoal pit woes? Cutting down trees isn't taking enough durability from your axe? Enjoy climbing 30 blocks to gather some resin? Jungles don't lag your machine enough?

 

Want your forests to feel like proper forests, woods so deep and old you can get lost within them?

 

Well look no further! With just a few tweaks to the base game files, you can enjoy each of these things!

 

-------------------------

 

What this mod does:

-This mod aims to enhance vanilla trees by making them larger/taller. Most trees have been upsized to more closely resemble their real-life counterparts, while some trees have been upsized to enhance the atmosphere/increase immersion.

-Some tree variants, such as the large english oak, will spawn more frequently.

-Also increases grain crop forest tolerance to counteract the larger forests, along with increased chance rate for bluebell patches.

-Lastly, the mod reduces shrubsperchunk and treesperchunk to about 60 and 50 respectively, to account for the increased tree sizes--forests and shrublands will still be plenty dense if you follow the Forestation & Shrubs recommendation.

 

-This mod works best when the Forestation & Shrubs setting on worldgen is increased by 25%-50%, and world height is set to 320 blocks (otherwise your redwoods may get chilly tops!)

 

 

Compatability:

-Is compatible with most worldgen mods except Conquest Landform Overhaul due to trees spawning so high they get cut off.

-Salty's Cave Symphony- there is an issue with this mod causing a large amount of stuttering in redwood forests due to certain sound effects being incorrectly played inbetween trees. Disabling the hallways system in the TunnelHowl.json config file should alleviate this.

-Works with EcoMachina!

 

Known issues:

-Using the creative wand to spawn in trees can temporarily break the new tree generation (reverts to vanilla). It can be fixed by using the /wgen regen command (use this in an area without player structures to regenerate a chunk). Enhanced tree spawning will resume.

-Performance intensive in areas, especially Redwood and Kapok forests.

 

It is my first mod so anything is possible! Please let me know if you encounter any weirdness or have any suggestions!
