Wending Subtleties
Wending Subtleties changes vanilla biome generation with trees, grass, ferns, mud and leaf litter, so forests and swamps look a little fuller in new worlds.
What it does
The mod is a world generation pack for Fabric. It adds small adjustments to how vanilla biomes place their features: large oak, birch and swamp tree variants, leaf litter on trees, taller grass and ferns, and mud along shorelines and low areas. The maximum size of the large trees stays the same, while the minimum height has been raised to remove some stubby bulb trees.
Biomes covered include Birch Forest and Old Growth Birch Forest, Dark Forest, Flower Forest, Windswept Forest, Windswept Hills, Gravelly Hills, Windswept Savanna, and Jungle and Bamboo Jungle. Grass in forests uses a higher density, and grass in savannas keeps the regular savanna density. Server owners install the mod on the server; players need nothing extra to join.
The mod works with Chaos Cubed and runs on the 26.2 release. Wending Subtleties is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Its only listed loader is Fabric, and it is also offered as a data pack. Files cover 1.21.11 – 26.2 across three release versions.
