WildGrowth
by Addi3_Astarr
WildGrowth is a Fabric world generation mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that backports nature content from a later update into older worlds.
What it does
WildGrowth carries new nature features from later Minecraft releases back to 1.20.1, bringing the spring life drop and related expansions of the natural landscape into a world that predates them. Players who keep a survival or creative world on 1.20.1 can see the changes as new terrain and growth when chunks generate.
The mod is published only for Fabric, with a single build for 1.20.1 released on 2025-12-14 as version 1.0.0. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must run the same file. The code is not open source, and the license is All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.

Spring life drop backport
Adds the spring life drop nature feature, first introduced in a later update, to 1.20.1 worlds.
