Pale Oak Backport
by sadbefore
Pale Oak Backport brings a pale oak tree and its full set of wood blocks to Minecraft 1.21.1 on Fabric, placing a rare pale oak forest into newly generated terrain.
What it does
Pale Oak Backport generates a rare Pale Oak Forest biome, where pale oak trees grow as a quiet forest find. The trees come with a full wood set: logs, stripped logs, wood, planks, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, pressure plates, buttons, signs, hanging signs, boats, boats with chests, saplings, potted saplings and leaves. A single sapling grows a normal pale oak tree, and a rare fancy variant appears in the forest. Four saplings in a 2×2 square grow a large pale oak tree, in the style of dark oak. Creaking moss resin and eyeblossoms are part of the backport as well, and pale moss comes from the same source.
Pale Oak wood matches oak in behavior: its hardness, flammability, fuel value, composting, axe stripping and leaf decay all work the same way. The mod generates only in newly created chunks, so existing worlds stay compatible and keep their terrain. It requires Fabric API and TerraBlender, and it is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.1. Client and server both need it, and the code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Pale Oak wood set
Logs, planks, stairs, slabs, doors, signs, boats and the other wood blocks and items match the vanilla oak set in function.
Rare Pale Oak Forest
The biome generates pale oak trees in small numbers, so the trees are found rather than common across the map.
Saplings and large trees
Single saplings grow normal and rare fancy trees, while a 2×2 group grows a large pale oak tree.
Creaking moss and eyeblossoms
Creaking moss resin, eyeblossoms and pale moss come with the wood set as decorative and crafting materials.

What the author says
Pale Oak Backport brings the Pale Oak wood set and a rare Pale Oak Forest biome to Minecraft 1.21.1 Fabric — and nothing else from the Pale Garden update. No Creaking. No Pale Moss. No Resin. No Eyeblossom. Just the wood, the trees, and one quiet forest to find them in.
