FutureCherry
by Sh1roCu
FutureCherry backports the cherry wood set and the Cherry Grove biome from newer Minecraft versions into the 1.16.5 game.
What it does
The mod brings most cherry features of newer Minecraft versions to 1.16.5. Cherry blocks and items work the same way as their equivalents in later vanilla releases, so the cherry content behaves as players already expect. A Cherry Grove biome adds a new place to generate, and falling pink petal particles drift down over it.
The cherry wood set is complete: logs, planks, saplings, doors, fences, fence gates and more. Hanging signs, chests and boats are not included. Installation needs only Forge, and the mod is a client and server mod, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge alone, for 1.16.5, with 0.0.3 as the latest beta build from July 5, 2025.
FutureCherry is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. Source code and an issue tracker are publicly linked from the project.

Exploring the biome
Players can travel to the Cherry Grove biome when generating or exploring a new world.

How it compares
Cherry_on_1.12.2 is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 with the same client and server environment, released under the MIT License and open source. The 1.21.5 Backport is a Forge mod for 1.20.1, also client and server, under the Apache License 2.0, and it is not open source. More Wood Varients covers 1.20.1 on Forge with All rights reserved and is not open source. FutureCherry targets 1.16.5 instead, so it covers a different version gap.
