Pale Garden Backport: The Garden Awakens
by danbrown
Pale Garden Backport: The Garden Awakens adds Pale Oak wood, Pale Moss and Pale Hanging Moss, and carries features of The Garden Awakens update to earlier versions on Fabric and Forge.
What it does
The mod backports most of the features from the The Garden Awakens update to versions older than the one it was made for. Its content includes the Pale Oak woodset, Pale Moss and Pale Hanging Moss, which generate as part of the world. Players on Fabric or Forge can use the same blocks across the supported range of versions.
Five dependencies are required: Architectury API, Deltabox Lib and TerraBlender on every loader, plus Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric and Kotlin for Forge on Forge. The server and every player need the mod installed. The release files cover 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Latest files are 3.0.1 for 1.21.2 on Fabric and 2.0.3 for 1.20.1 on Forge. The author notes that a port for 1.21 and further updates are still being worked on, but no release date has been set.

What the author says
This mod backport most of the The Garden Awakens update features to previous versions of the game. What about 1.19, 1.21, Fabric? A Fabric version and the 1.21 updates are in progress! But I can't promise a release date since this is a hobby project!
