Dappled Up
Dappled Up is a world generation mod that gives Minecraft's Dappled Forest biome a fresh coat of paint through new leaf litter, hanging bushes and Red Moss.
What it does
Dappled Up changes how the Dappled Forest looks and how it generates. Unique leaf litter spreads across the forest floor, and hanging leaf bushes grow from Poplar Leaves. Red Moss adds a further colour to the biome, and the generation of the forest itself has been reworked to suit these additions. The author describes the result as a more immersive, atmospheric biome.
The mod also brings a Poplar Village villager type, so villages in this biome can use their own villager variant, and archeology sites that players can explore and dig. The author notes that the list of additions is still growing. Dappled Up runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source. It has no required dependencies.
