Nature Horizons
Nature Horizons adds new tree species to the overworld, placed in several existing biomes, along with the wood and leaves they yield.
What it does
Nature Horizons adds five tree species to the overworld: aspen, black walnut, blackwood, juniper, pine and redwood. Each one generates in particular biomes, such as aspen and black walnut in aspen forests and old growth aspen forests, blackwood in savanna biomes, juniper in badlands biomes, and redwood in old growth redwood taiga. Pine replaces the vanilla spruce tree in taiga biomes, and the mod adds three biomes in total.
Black walnut leaves drop hard walnuts, and juniper leaves drop juniper berries. Hard walnuts are food that has to be cracked against a hard block before it can be eaten, and they belong to a tag of their own. The mod requires Biolith and Mantle, which must be installed alongside it. Nature Horizons is open source under the MIT License, is published for Forge and NeoForge, and covers only 1.20.1.
