Better Trees

Better Trees is a worldgen datapack/mod that completely redesigns overworld trees.

• All trees are now bigger, taller, and more complex, completely transforming the overworld.
• BT trees are still vanilla style and do not use blocks like stairs or fences.
• Cutting down trees will give you more wood and saplings.

Due to the trees increased size, I recommend a tree cutting mod, such as Timber datapack or FallingTree.

<details> <summary>Compatibility</summary>

2.0.0 comes with changes that allow for better compatibility with other projects.

• Other projects can now specify "Better" versions of their trees, and automatically load them when BT is installed.
• BT Addons can be created that override trees in other projects with BT trees.

Compatibility

• Tectonic
• Wilderness

  <details> <summary>How does the compatibility system work?</summary>

Tree features are in the Better Trees namespace. Reference them direcly when making an addon. Every tree has its own placed feature, so you can use a tag to reference them even if BT is not installed.

Detector block tag
• Contains oak_log
• Use this tag in a random block placer:
• If BT is installed, it will place an oak log.
• If BT is not installed, it will fail and place nothing. (you will have to define a blank tag in your own project)
• Use this to create trees that change if better trees is installed.

• detector placed feature
  • Reference this in your project to force prevent your project from running without BT.
