Better Trees Mod pour Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21

Better Trees is a worldgen datapack/mod that completely redesigns overworld trees.

• All trees are now bigger, taller, and more complex, completely transforming the overworld.
• BT trees are still vanilla style and do not use blocks like stairs or fences.
• Cutting down trees will give you more wood and saplings.

Due to the trees increased size, I recommend a tree cutting mod, such as Timber datapack or FallingTree.

Compatibility

2.0.0 comes with changes that allow for better compatibility with other projects.

• Other projects can now specify "Better" versions of their trees, and automatically load them when BT is installed.
• BT Addons can be created that override trees in other projects with BT trees.

Compatibility

• Tectonic
• Wilderness

How does the compatibility system work?

Tree features are in the Better Trees namespace. Reference them direcly when making an addon. Every tree has its own placed feature, so you can use a tag to reference them even if BT is not installed.

Detector block tag

• Contains oak_log
• Use this tag in a random block placer:
• If BT is installed, it will place an oak log.
• If BT is not installed, it will fail and place nothing. (you will have to define a blank tag in your own project)
• Use this to create trees that change if better trees is installed.

• detector placed feature
• Reference this in your project to force prevent your project from running without BT.
