Dramatic Trees
by lily_
Dramatic Trees changes how trees grow, fall and break in Forge worlds, and it is a fork with extra falling-tree behavior.
What it does
Trees in the world fall with physical collisions, so a felled trunk can knock down neighboring trees. Stripping a trunk leaves bark items behind, and a fallen tree stays in place until it is harvested with an axe or saw. Fallen trunks can be dragged with rope, horse carts or water transport.
Trees also gain tree stumps, progressively broken trunks and solid entity collisions, and each tree type has its own sound. The mod can be installed on single-player and multiplayer setups alike, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds target 1.12.2 only, and the latest file is 0.13.6 for 1.12.2, published 2026-05-25. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Collisions between trees
Felled trees strike other trees, so the fall can spread through a forest.
Stripping and bark drops
Stripped trunks drop bark items, which can be collected as building material.
Tree stumps and broken trunks
Felled trees leave stumps, and trunks break down in stages as they are chopped.
Unique tree sounds
Different tree types play their own sounds when they are cut or fall.
