by ThirtyFangs

What it does

The mod generates a narrow forest modeled on the Lost Woods of the Zelda series, with Lost Woods wood appearing in the trees. Poisonous water pools sit within the forest, and Deku Scrubs live there as mobs that only attack when attacked. Jungle leaves drop loot when broken, and Torchflowers grow naturally in the biome, so a sniffer is not needed to obtain them.

Servers must run the mod, while players may leave it out. A resource pack is required for the textures and sounds, and a custom soundtrack version is offered. A datapack can make the biome generate naturally in an existing world. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 13 release versions, 1.21.4 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Narrow forest biome

    A dense, narrow forest generates as a biome, with the Lost Woods wood used in its trees.

  2. Poisonous water

    Water in the forest is poisonous, so players who enter it take damage unless they prepare for it.

  3. Deku Scrubs

    Deku Scrubs inhabit the forest and attack only when attacked; they despawn naturally to keep performance steady.

  4. Green light sources

    Light blocks in the forest emit a green light color, matching the setting of the games.
