About this Mod
The savanna is now less boring! There will be giraffes, koalas, and the occasional eucalyptus tree.
You can use the eucalyptus trees to craft: planks, (stripped) wood, doors, trapdoors, fences and gates, a boat, (hanging) signs, and all the regular wooden things.
It also comes with double fence gates, picket fences (with matching gates), a farm-style double gate, and awnings which can be coloured just like banners (using a loom).
To help out with building storage solutions there is a practical filter hopper. It works just like a regular hopper, but has a filter for up to 5 different items. No additional redstone required!
You can breed the giraffes with acacia leaves, and the koalas with eucalyptus leaves!
Starting version 1.2.0 the mod will be NeoForge compatible and no longer Forge compatible.
The NeoForge version is intended for Minecraft 1.20.4 and up.
