What it does

The mod adds Oak, Birch, Savanna, Spruce and Cherry tree variants to world generation, and changes the shape of most vanilla trees so that their growth looks less uniform. The author describes the aim as improving the experience of exploring forests and plains.

BetterTrees runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is also available as a data pack for server platforms. It is required on the server, while a client can join without it. Files are published for 1.21.11 only, with the latest build dated 2026-02-15. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source.

Key features

  1. New Oak and Birch variants

    Oak and Birch trees receive new forms that appear during world generation alongside the vanilla versions.

  2. Savanna and Spruce trees

    Savanna and Spruce biomes gain tree shapes that differ from the default ones, changing the skyline of generated terrain.

  3. Cherry tree variants

    Cherry trees get reworked growth shapes, giving pink-blossom regions a different silhouette.

  4. Reshaped vanilla trees

    Most vanilla trees are altered to grow in more exotic shapes rather than a single standard form.

Use cases

Exploring generated forests

Players who travel through forests and plains see tree shapes that differ from the vanilla defaults in new worlds.

Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want a different look for the trees of a generated world. Because the server needs the mod, it suits multiplayer hosts who run the world themselves.
