About this Mod
Overview
This mod seeks to fill the gaps in Minecraft's world generation by adding large new trees in a new biome, the Fractal Forest. In this biome you will find new procedurally generated trees which tower over the landscape generated using L-Systems, a method of generating fractal structures.
Features
- Procedurally generated 'Fractal Trees'
- New Leaf Type - 'Fractal Leaves'
- These leaves let all light through, reducing large shadows at the base of the tree.
- Fractal Forest biome
Warnings
- This mod is still in development, and may contain some bugs...
- Generating new chunks with the custom trees can take a few seconds after the chunk loads in, so please be patient. Do consider turning down your render distance to prevent the number of trees being loaded into the game.
