Not So Dark Forest

by QuickStopFire

Not So Dark Forest changes the grass in Dark Forest biomes so it matches the color of regular Forest grass.

What it does

The grass color in Dark Forest biomes is replaced with the same green used in Forest biomes, and the change is made by a grass color modifier that a data pack or mod can alter. Server installation is what counts: the server needs the mod, while players may add it to their clients. Builds cover 1.19.3 – 1.21.5 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Forest-matched grass

    Grass in Dark Forest biomes is recolored to the shade used by regular Forest biomes.

  2. Grass color modifier

    A color modifier controls the grass tint, so data packs can change the result without editing the mod.

  3. Resource pack support

    Resource packs made for the mod work alongside it, including ones that use Autumn Biomes.
