Rotten Woods
Rotten Woods is a NeoForge world generation mod that adds a barren biome of decaying trees and a new wood type.
What it does
Rotten Woods places a new biome with rotting trees and a new wood type. The landscape is described as bleak and wasted, resembling the aftermath of a nuclear fallout. Its trees are dead and rotten, yet they can still be collected and used as decoration, even though they look unattractive. The mod requires no other mods and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Its only published build is 1.0.0 for 1.21.4, released 2025-10-29.
