Living Trees

by orca_mod_

Living Trees gives trees a night life: once they wake, they sprout glowing red eyes, wooden arms and legs, and move across the world.

What it does

Trees that sleep through the day wake when night falls, and the mod turns some of them into living trees that move and attack. Roughly one in five nearby trees wakes automatically at night. Players can also wake a tree by hand with the Tree Waker item, and the tree goes back to sleep at dawn or when it is put back to sleep by right-clicking it.

Two modes control how the feature plays. In automatic mode a player simply plays normally, and the trees around them start waking as night arrives. In manual mode the Tree Waker item, found in the Tools creative tab, wakes or restores a single tree on demand. Some living trees are hostile and go after players and mobs, and killing one can drop a Tree Waker wand.

The mod is published for Fabric only, with 11 release versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. Living Trees runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the MIT License.

    Trees wake at night and grow eyes, arms and legs, then roam the world.

  2. Dynamic tree capture

    Oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry, crimson and warped trees can all wake.

    Right-clicking a tree with the wand wakes it manually, and killing a living tree can drop one.
