Old Growth Forest
Old Growth Forest puts large-treed Oak forests into the world in place of some regular Forest biomes.
What it does
Old Growth Forest introduces an Oak counterpart within the Old Growth biome collection. Regular Forests are replaced by the variant at a chance high enough to appear across ordinary worlds, and it follows the same generation criteria as the Forest biome. The collection also includes Birch, Pine Taiga and Spruce Taiga variants. The server must run the mod, while players can skip it. Released under the MIT License and not open source, the mod is published for 26.1.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
