What it does

The mod adds Spruce Willis, an evolved Christmas tree that appears as a wandering creature in forest biomes. Players can go and catch one. A Grandfather Willis figure can summon it with bone meal, and a lightning strike on a spruce tree can turn it into Spruce Willis naturally. The mod was made as a small project during WinterJam 2019. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it, with Fabric API required on the loaders that use it. Builds cover 1.14.4 – 1.21.11 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.

Key features

  1. Wandering Spruce Willis

    Spruce Willis roams forests, and players can catch one instead of only finding it by chance.

  2. Bone meal summoning

    Grandfather Willis can summon the mob when bone meal is used on him.

  3. Lightning transformation

    A spruce tree struck by lightning becomes Spruce Willis without any player action.

Questions

Does Spruce Willis the Xmas Tree need Fabric API?

Fabric API is listed as a required dependency, so it has to be installed next to the mod on Fabric.

Does the mod have to be installed on the server?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
