Regrowing trees
by GlorboFlorbo
Regrowing trees is a Fabric world-generation mod in which trees slowly grow back in the Overworld over time.
What it does
Trees that have been cut down do not stay gone for long. The mod periodically attempts to place a new tree at a random location in the Overworld, and new trees spread dirt and grass blocks onto the land around them, filling empty gaps in forests and plains. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Passive tree growth
New trees appear on their own, roughly every ten seconds of attempts, at random spots in the Overworld.
Natural spreading
Grass and dirt blocks spread from growing trees, so cleared ground slowly fills back in.
Light server load
Trees are checked and placed only once every 200 ticks, a schedule the author chose to keep the performance cost small.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
