Just Maple
by CaptainDude
Just Maple adds maple wood, a maple grove biome and falling leaf particles to Fabric worlds, placed in mountainous areas beside the cherry grove.
What it does
The mod generates a maple grove biome that players can find by searching mountainous areas, near where the cherry grove sits. Its maple trees drop falling leaf particles and leave fallen maple leaf litter on the ground, so the biome looks different from the vanilla forests around it. Crafting follows the same pattern as other wood variants, so players make the new planks, stairs, slabs and other maple blocks with their usual recipes.
Installation needs Fabric API and TerraBlender alongside the mod, and the Fabric Loader for a supported version. Just Maple runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across 16 release versions, and the author states that the mod will not receive updates past 26.2 because a later Minecraft release adds its own wood type. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code and issue tracker.

Use cases
Building with a new wood
Builders who want a warm red-brown wood for houses or cabins can use the maple planks, logs and stairs in their projects.
Exploring mountain biomes
Players exploring mountains can look for the maple grove next to the cherry grove and set up a base there.
Who it’s for: Players and builders who want a new wood type for Fabric worlds on the supported versions, and server owners who want the biome on a shared world.
How it compares
Just Maple is Fabric-only, while MoreTrees runs on Fabric and NeoForge, has Client and server environment and is open source under the MIT License. Dappled Forest Drop is client-side only, is not open source, and covers 26.1 – 26.1.2, so it does not overlap with Just Maple's client and server setup. Blocks for Builders is open source under the MIT License, also runs on Fabric and covers 1.21 – 26.2.

What the author says
As Minecraft is adding the Dappled Forest and Poplar wood type in version 26.3, this mod will no longer recieve updates past 26.2 as it is redundant. Just Maple introduces maple wood to minecraft with a whole new maple grove biome, new trees, blocks and an entirely new wood variant!
