Mystical Oak Tree
With Mystical Oak Tree, an ordinary-looking oak in the world turns out to be a talking NPC-like block that shares lore, wisdom, facts and jokes.
What it does
The mod adds an interactive block shaped like an ordinary oak tree. The tree presents itself as an ancient immortal being, and a player who talks to it receives knowledge such as random facts, words of wisdom, trivia or jokes. The mod includes more than 300 custom written lines, and further material is pulled dynamically from the web, so the tree has new things to say over time.
Conversation builds up over time. The tree only shares its knowledge once the player has earned its trust by talking to it for long enough, and negative actions lower that trust. Talking to it during the day requires waking it up, which reduces its trust in the player. Touching the tree starts a more complex metaphysical conversation.
Installation requires Fabric API and Moonlight Lib. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 7 release versions, 1.18.1 – 1.21.1, and both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and the license is All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. The mod was made for Spooky Jam 2022 and first published on 2023-03-08.
