Mossy Forests
by Flixy500
Mossy Forests is a NeoForge world generation mod that reshapes forest areas into a moss-covered biome with new wood, rock piles and wildlife.
What it does
Installed on the client, it adds a Mossy Forest biome that generates in the world, with its own terrain, vegetation and atmosphere. Players who travel into it find moss-covered ground, rock piles scattered between the trees and new mobs spawning naturally inside the biome. Ambient bird mobs move through the canopy and smaller critters scurry across the forest floor.
The mod also introduces a new wood type. Pine wood comes with recipes for wooden items and wooden blocks, so builders can use it for construction and decoration. It is published for NeoForge only, for the 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 range, with the latest beta file targeting 1.21.11. Because the environment is client-side only, servers do not need the mod, and the code is released under the Apache License 2.0 without being open source.
