Dynamic Trees - VanillaBackport
by dannykim2011
Dynamic Trees - VanillaBackport is a compatibility addon that lets the Pale Oak tree from VanillaBackport grow through the Dynamic Trees system instead of the standard vanilla tree code.
What it does
Pale Oak trees from VanillaBackport are normally generated and grown by vanilla rules. This addon routes them through Dynamic Trees, so the Pale Oak branches act within the world the way native Dynamic Trees species do, with growth, felling, seed dispersal, sapling handling and generation all handled by that system.
Creaking Hearts generate naturally inside Dynamic Trees Pale Oak trees, keeping the mechanics VanillaBackport intends. Cactus Flowers from VanillaBackport are also supported, including those found on world-generated Pillar Pipe Cacti in deserts. The addon requires Dynamic Trees and Vanilla Backport, and Dynamic Trees Plus is an optional dependency that adds further tree behavior.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.7.0 as the latest build on both loaders. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
