Dense Trees
by Mrbysco
Dense Trees changes the wood that natural trees produce, so each log yields more planks while the trees still look close to vanilla.
What it does
Dense Trees adds dense tree variants to the world. Their logs give more planks than regular trees do, which lets players collect building material without cutting down large numbers of trees. The trees look similar to vanilla ones, with a noticeable difference in their leaves and logs, and logs occasionally emit particle effects.
Generation is controlled by a set of config options. Server owners can blacklist biomes so dense trees do not spawn there, and biomes are listed by registry name, for example minecraft:flower_forest. A separate setting decides whether saplings can turn into dense trees, along with the chance that a sapling does so. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files cover Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.1.1, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.
Dynamic Trees - Dense Trees requires Dense Trees to be installed, so it is the main mod that depends on this one. Its development began in March 2023 and its most recent update was in April 2026.
