Ruined Dappled Forest

by Knarfy

Ruined Dappled Forest turns the Dappled Forest biome into a ruined, cursed version, with a new wood set, a dyeable bush and a rare creature that steals items.

What it does

The mod adds a new Dappled Forest biome that spawns in the world, along with a Poplar wood set and a Red Bush plant that can be dyed. Its features are described by the author as a ruined take on the Dappled Forest that Minecraft announced during TwitchCon Minecraft Live, and a Created video by Knarfy on YouTube accompanies the release.

Rarely, a jeb bush spawns in the forest. Creatures in the biome can steal items from players and run away with them, so anything carried into the forest is at risk. The author warns that the mod can destroy a world, so it is worth trying in a copy of a save first.

Installation needs NeoForge only, with no other mod listed as required. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge 26.1.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Ruined Dappled Forest biome

    A new biome spawns forests with a ruined theme, separate from the vanilla Dappled Forest.

  2. Poplar wood set

    A new Poplar wood set adds blocks for building with the wood of the forest.

  3. Dyeable Red Bush

    A new Red Bush plant can be dyed, so it can be colored to fit a build.

  4. Rare jeb bush

    A jeb bush occasionally spawns in the biome as an uncommon find.

  5. Item-stealing creatures

    Creatures in the forest steal items from players and run away with them.

Use cases

Cursed survival worlds

Players who want a hostile forest in a survival world can add the biome to a new or existing world.

Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want a themed, dangerous forest for adventure maps and survival worlds. Because creatures steal items, it fits players who accept item loss as part of the challenge.

Questions

Does Ruined Dappled Forest need another mod?

No other mod is listed as required. It needs NeoForge only, and it is published for 26.1.2.

Does the server need the mod as well as players?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Can the biome be added to a world that already exists?

The biome is generated by the mod, so it can be added to a world that already exists, but a backup of the save is advisable because the author warns the mod can destroy a world.
