ancient wood
Ancient Wood is a ModLoader mod for the rd-132211 build of Minecraft that adds a wood type from the first era of the game.
What it does
The mod adds a wood type that matches the look of the original Alpha releases. Players can chop it, craft with it and place it in the world, which gives an older build a new natural material. Only the client needs it, so a player can add it to a single-player or multiplayer client without any change on the server.
Key features
Original-style wood
The wood is modeled on the early Alpha builds, so it fits worlds that keep the look of the first era.
Chopping and crafting
Players can harvest the new wood from trees and use it in crafting recipes like the vanilla woods.
Built for retro worlds
The mod suits nostalgic builds that want more variety in natural materials without leaving the rd-132211 version.
