Saplings grows trees matching biome world gen

Vanilla saplings always grow the same trees no matter the biome

World generation mods & data packs add many biome tree variants that cannot be re-created using a sapling

This mod makes the sapling generate trees that match the biome the tree is growing in

Named Lodestone Compass

A lodestone named using a sign

You can name your lodestones by placing a sign on them

Binding your compass to the lodestone will automatically name it
using the text from the sign, instead of "Lodestone Compass".

Bonus: Right clicking the sign instead of the Lodestone will also work.

Crafting Tables

Crafting tables in all variants of vanilla wood

Enjoy our large selection of crafting tables, now available in all vanilla colors.

Tip: custom crafting tables can be crafting into regular crafting tables. Mainly as a workaround for recipes that demand a vanilla table.

Slime on piston

Bound Lodestone

A villager upgrading your lodestone

The Bound Lodestone acts like a Lodestone, but is attuned to another lodestone in the world.

Use a Lodestone Compass on an unbound Lodestone to attune it to the same coordinates.

Once a Bound Lodestone has been attuned,
use a regular Compass on the Bound Lodestone to attune it to Lodestone that the Bound Lodestone is attuned to.

tl;dr it's a lodestone proxy

You can get it from your local Cartographer
