Branchy
by LibertyMouse
Branchy places branch blocks on trees, letting players hang and arrange branches in the world for decorative builds in Fabric 1.21.1.
What it does
Branchy is inspired by the ContentSMP game, and it adds branch blocks that can be placed on the sides of logs and trees. Branches are available in ten vanilla wood types plus their stripped variants, along with one extra wood type called Folly wood. Each branch connects in up to six directions, so a single block can extend into a wider frame.
Foliage can be attached to a branch by right-clicking it while holding leaves, and the supported vanilla leaf types are accepted. Right-clicking a branch with an axe strips it, matching the stripping behavior of logs. Branches can also be waterlogged, so they fit into ponds and water features. Folly wood branches are crafted from planks and two sticks, with quartz as a further ingredient for that wood type specifically.
Installation needs only Branchy on a Fabric 1.21.1 instance, and the client and server both run it. Files are published for Fabric only, with version 1.2 as the latest file, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Branches in ten wood types
Branch blocks come in the ten vanilla wood types and their stripped variants, for matching trees in a build.
Folly wood
One extra wood type, Folly wood, has its own branch blocks and a separate crafting recipe that uses quartz.
Six-way connections
A branch connects in up to six directions, so one block can join other branches and blocks from any side.
Foliage and stripping
Right-clicking with leaves attaches foliage, and right-clicking with an axe strips the branch.
Waterlogged branches
Branches can be waterlogged, so they can be placed in water as part of ponds and similar scenes.
