Dappled Forest but Better

1. 01

   More frequent trees

   Tree spawning in forest biomes happens more often than in vanilla generation.

2. 02

   Extra spruce trees

   The forest contains a larger number of spruce trees, adding more evergreen cover.

3. 03

   Fancy poplar variants

   Around one in ten poplar trees uses a fancy variant with a different leaf color.

4. 04

   Wildflowers, ferns and berry bushes

   Wildflowers, ferns and berry bushes are added as ground cover across the forest floor.

5. 05

   Granite rock groups

   Granite rocks generate occasionally in larger clusters, breaking up the terrain.

Who it’s for: Server owners and survival players who want more forest variety on 26.3 while keeping vanilla styling. The datapack suits worlds where the look of the default forest should be kept.
