Rainforest - Vanilla Expanded
by De_Duckie
Rainforest - Vanilla Expanded brings a vanilla-friendly rainforest biome into world generation, with its own Rainwood wood set for building.
What it does
Worlds generated with the mod gain a rainforest biome that keeps to vanilla styling, so it sits alongside the default terrain without new mechanics. The wood set is the main addition: Rainwood logs, wood, stripped variants, planks, stairs, slabs and a door can all be crafted and placed like their vanilla counterparts.
The mod sits in the world generation category and also touches adventure, mobs and decoration. It runs on Fabric and needs both the server and every player to have it, so a multiplayer world has to be generated with the mod loaded on each side. Files are published for two game versions, 1.21.8 and 26.2, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.1 for 26.2, released 2026-10-08.
