Latest file for v1.19.0-rc.6:
History of existence_0.0.3.zip 1-click install


 

Version 0.0.3 only for 1.19. For 1.18 need 0.0.2.

This is a beta version of the mod, there may be bugs, crashes and errors. Use with caution.

 

This is my first mod, there may be mistakes. 

 

This mod changes the generation of trees to a new, more interesting one. It also adds 6 new types of "normal" trees and smaller versions for each type of tree (including vanilla).

 

New trees:

  • Spruce is a tall coniferous tree. The wood and foliage are dark. It grows in cold climates. The unusual shape of the foliage.
  • Fir is a tall coniferous tree. The wood and foliage are light. It grows in cold and normal climates. The unusual shape of the foliage.
  • Aspen is a small deciduous tree. The greenish shade of the wood. It looks like a birch tree. It grows in a normal climate.
  • Shorea (Shorea robusta and others) is a large tropical tree (also 2x2). With light pink wood. It grows in warm climates.
  • Limba (Terminalia superba and others) is a tall tropical tree. It grows in a warm climate. The wood is light.
  • Baobab is a large (2x2) but low tree. It grows in the savannah, it is rare. Orange and porous wood.

Small tree:

All trees have small versions. They have a trunk smaller than a block, like a green cypress. The tree itself is also small, often 4-8 blocks high. We can assume that this is a bush. Small versions of trees are sometimes generated in forests, but more often grow in fields, creating shrubby thickets.

Bushes:

  • Dwarf pine - forms impenetrable thickets in the north.
  • Juniper - in taiga, or dry places.
  • Willow - Grows along banks in temperate climates.
  • Alder buckthorn - Temperate broadleaved forests. There's a slight inaccuracy in the game, it's translated as buckthorn.
  • Blackthorn - temperate climate, edible seeds.
  • Saxaul - grows in "cold" deserts, the acacia analog for temperate climates.
  • Tree heather - grows in the dry subtropics.
  • Laurel - grows in the humid subtropics.
  • Combretum - grows in savannahs.
  • Macaranga is a tree (shrub) of the Pioneer species (a hint of deforestation by a previous civilization), native to the tropics.

Worldgen (Terrestrial ecosystem):

An approximate and inaccurate list (in each terrestrial ecosystem there are many different types of forest from different trees, fields, and other things):

  • Arctic: the temperature is less than -17. There are no trees, blocks of snow and ice.
  • Tundra: temperature -14/-10. Rare small larches and spruces.
  • Taiga: Temperature -10/0. There are many larches, spruces, and pines here. Fir trees grow where it is warmer than -5.
  • Mixed coniferous forest: Temp 0/+10. Where there is little rain, pines and birches grow. Where there is a lot of rain - spruce, fir, aspen. Maple and oak also grow in warmer places.
  • Temperate deciduous forest: Temp 10/15. There are many oaks, maples and walnuts growing here, not so many aspens and birches. Maybe a few firs and pines. The crimson king maple grows here!
  • Subtropics: temp 15/24. Where there is a lot of rain forests of walnut, oak, bamboo, kapok. The swamp cypress grows here! In places with little rain, there are thickets of small oak, small walnut and cypress. Sometimes there are groves of redwood and pine.
  • Jungle: temp 24 and more. The rain is 150 and more. Forests of kapok, shorea, limba, bamboo, tree fern.
  • Savanna: temp 24 and more. The rain is 150 or less, there are many acacias and rare groups of baobabs. Where there is very little rain, there is a desert.

Other:

The new foliage shape is thick branches for branchy foliage, and a unique shape for larch, spruce and fir. Drops: more firewood and sticks.

A new shape for blueberry and cranberry bushes. Now they are lower and smaller.

 

Translations into Russian, English (English is not my first language, so there may be errors in my translation, tell me about them) and ukrainian (epic_fish).

Did the patch for wildcraft happen yet?

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Feb 29th at 9:04 AM

Hi. Compatibility with all Wildcraft modules will be in an upcoming version! Wait for another 1 or 2 weeks. LeNi99

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Feb 29th at 8:59 AM
💬 LeNi99, Feb 28th at 11:43 PM

Hi, I noticed if u use both wildcraft trees and this mod this happens: https://imgur.com/a/2ePZ4Qs

dunno if I should be even using both since it adds some simillar trees.

Honestly I like this mod more but could be nice if I could run both

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Jan 30th at 9:36 PM

Well, I'm free again and can work on the mod. Thanks for the feedback and bug reports.

I haven't changed the tule plant spawn yet, but if the mod really breaks it, I'll try to fix it. Apuru

"Does this mod also replace how and where the game generates forests, or does it only change the type of trees that it picks?" - Yes, the mod changes the whole forest generation a lettle bit.

Edit: Clarification: this mod doesn't change how noise creates a map from the values "forest", " shrub", "rain", but it does change the shape of the trees a lot, as well as the conditions in which any given tree grows. Retsof

 

💬 Retsof, Jan 28th at 12:48 AM

It looks the mod's trees have rough hewn fence variants, but no crafting recipes for them

💬 Apuru, Jan 24th at 12:11 AM

Retsof

That's technically true, but it's a lot faster to craft thatch roofs from a couple of Tule harvests vs stacks and stacks of hay bales. It's still a lot more annoying compared to just enabling Tule to spawn properly again--assuming that's a common issue.

💬 Retsof, Jan 23rd at 1:57 AM

Apuru

I'm pretty sure you can still use hay bales for thatch roof...

Pafnutiy

Does this mod also replace how and where the game generates forests, or does it only change the type of trees that it picks?

💬 Vilderos, Jan 21st at 9:29 AM

Thank you for this mod! The forests feel soo much nicer now. I love everything you have added, except the cross shaped "large branches" in branchy foliage. I think the foliage would look better without them

💬 Apuru, Jan 18th at 4:48 PM

Hi, I've noticed whilst testing your mod that early game Tule spawns (necessary for Thatch, which is necessary for primitive roofing) don't seem to spawn--if at all. Exploring from world spawn, I have struggled to find any Tule spawns even flying via Creative and crossing continents, but when I turn your mod off, I immediately find it.

I'm not sure if this is a specific design choice--that Tule spawns in one of the new organized biomes--or if this is an oversight in the mod's terrain generation, but I felt I should report it as it makes early game building a lot less enjoyable in its current state.

Thank you for your mod! Tree gen in this game is probably one of its worst flaws, so I appreciate the steps you're taking to improve it.

💬 NukoSan, Jan 17th at 9:49 PM

Are there any compatibility issues with Wildcraft? +1 for the Primitive survival compatibility :-)

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Jan 15th at 8:26 PM

PresetM

Thank you so much for this! You can send the files to me at kosmotim08@gmail.com.
I will update the translations in version 0.0.4, (in about 2 weeks).

💬 PresetM, Jan 15th at 12:33 PM

I love the small cranberry and blueberry bushes. πŸ‘

And I have done a German translation and correct the English language file ('buch' to 'bush' and some others). How can I send you both files (I'm not part of any social network, btw.)?

💬 xAzural, Jan 14th at 2:06 PM

Can confirm it was uploaded properly this time. Also seems to have infact fixed the branchy leaves from crashing the game. Well done!

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Jan 14th at 6:23 AM

Oh... I hope it works the fourth time now. Thanks for your patience. 0.0.3 only in 1.19!

💬 xAzural, Jan 14th at 3:06 AM

Something definitley went wrong on the upload for 0.0.3 or just "v" lol

 

💬 RikeiR, Jan 13th at 11:39 PM

History of existence_0.0.3.zip is 0kb.

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Jan 13th at 8:22 PM

Unfortunately I'm not a modding expert, and I don't know how to fix this. Maybe you need to change something in modinfo, but I do not know what it is. If you can fix it - send me the fixed file.
In any case, I would not recommend playing with my mod in important worlds, it is still in development.

💬 Shadowise, Jan 13th at 7:51 PM

Thank you, Pafnutiy!

💬 DEMMERS, Jan 13th at 7:44 PM

Mod isn't downloading to the client from the server, making usage on a server impossible. Unless I have clients download it manually which is a pain. Any idea what can be done?

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Jan 13th at 7:17 PM

Yeah, that's the new version. Thanks, I was in such a hurry I didn't notice. It's fixed now. Shadowise

💬 Shadowise, Jan 13th at 6:16 PM

Hello, Pafnutiy, the zip file for the new version (0.0.3) still says "0.0.2". Just wanted to make sure it's actually the new update file. Thank you!

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Jan 13th at 3:26 PM

The new version is released. Fixed crash with branchy leaves and black texture of bushes. MimiKitty Leozin WickedSchnitzel

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Jan 13th at 11:15 AM

Oh... I will try to release a new version with a fix as soon as possible. 

MimiKitty Leozin

💬 MimiKitty, Jan 9th at 7:27 AM

had to remove as well. same crash as Leozin

💬 Leozin, Jan 3rd at 1:26 AM

I can't use the mod, Whenever I break branchy leaves the game crashes. I tried disabling all my mods but this one and the same happens.... I'm using 1.19pre

💬 Hemril, Dec 31st 2023 at 6:17 PM

I do like the style, though it does give a notable performance hit in forests, obviously.

Also buch -> bush, for spelling.

💬 WickedSchnitzel, Dec 30th 2023 at 10:05 AM

I have noticed in v0.0.2:
- Willow buch & Buckthorn buch (maybe some others as well?) do have a black texture on one of their branches (downside)
- Also lots of z-fighting on these

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Dec 26th 2023 at 12:16 PM

Okay, compatibility with Primitive Survival will be in the future. Thanks.

ab9898

💬 ab9898, Dec 23rd 2023 at 4:28 PM

Hey. Really like the mod. I think there is a compatability issue with Primitive Survival. I cant craft the "Smoker" with any wood types while this mod is active. But deactivating this mod allows me to craft it. Then reactivating this mod allows the use of the "Smoker". Just thought you should know. Thanks for the mod. Trees lok great.

Is this mod compatible with the "Biomes" mod?

Don't you ever want to make a version that changes the generation of only vanilla (blocks) trees and/or adds giant trees (like Yggdrasil)?

💬 PafnutiyAuthor, Dec 17th 2023 at 9:31 PM

WickedSchnitzel

I will work on compatibility with version 1.19 when rc comes out. Pre is too unstable.

💬 WickedSchnitzel, Dec 17th 2023 at 7:57 PM

I know this is for 1.18.5, but you may want to work on 1.19 compatibility as well, since using it with 1.19.0-pre.9 is displaying unknown blocks everywhere.

💬 ToughguyBlues, Dec 17th 2023 at 6:54 PM

so cute trees
