Minecraft More Forest
Scattered across forest floors, the mod places fallen branches, plant fibers and leaf litter, which adds small natural touches to the trees.
What it does
Forest biomes gain scattered debris under trees, natural ground variation and subtle visual touches meant to make woodland feel more lived in. The changes are purely cosmetic and atmospheric, so exploring a forest feels more rewarding without altering the game's core mechanics.
Items gathered from the new details are used in simple early-game crafting, which gives players a reason to collect materials from forest floors during survival. The additions are balanced to stay close to the original Minecraft experience and avoid complex new systems.
The mod is built for Forge, with a single file targeting 1.20.1. Both the client and the server need it, and the content is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
Key features
Fallen branches and debris

Ground variation
Forest ground shows more natural variation, giving biomes a less uniform look.
Vanilla-friendly design
Additions keep the original game's mechanics intact and avoid large new systems or structures.

How it compares

More Forests is a client-side only Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the same Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, so servers run without it. Natural Structures is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 where either side can run it alone, released under the MIT License.
