Redwood - Vanilla Expanded
by De_Duckie
Redwood - Vanilla Expanded is a Fabric world generation mod that adds a vanilla-friendly redwood forest and a full set of redwood blocks.
What it does
The mod generates a redwood forest biome in new worlds, with redwood trees that use vanilla-style shapes and materials, so the new trees blend into existing terrain. Players who explore beyond the starting area will find the forest among the other biomes.
A full set of redwood blocks comes with the forest, covering the building materials that match the trees. The mod is designed for building projects that need wood beyond the standard vanilla palette. It is distributed for Fabric only, and the environment is client and server, so players and servers both need it. Files target 1.21.8 and 26.2, and the latest file, 1.0.1 for 26.2, was published on 2026-10-08. The code is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Redwood forest biome
New redwood trees grow in a dedicated forest biome that is generated alongside the vanilla biomes.

Vanilla-friendly style

Use cases
Building with redwood
Builders can use the redwood block set for houses, bridges and other constructions that need a matching wood type.
Exploring a new forest
Players travelling through new terrain can find the redwood biome and gather wood from its trees.
Who it’s for: Builders looking for a wood type beyond the vanilla set, and players who want a new forest biome in their survival or creative worlds. Server owners who want the biome on a multiplayer world need to install it on the server and on every player's client.
How it compares
Terranova is a Fabric-only terrain mod for 1.21 with client and server environment and All rights reserved licensing, so it is not open source. TerraBiomes is open source under the MIT License, runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.5 – 26.2, and the server requires it while client installation is optional. Redwood is client and server and supports 1.21.8 and 26.2, so it covers the newest versions while adding a single forest biome.
