Trees now generate with shallow root systems beneath their trunks. Depending on the surrounding terrain, grass, dirt, and podzol are replaced with rooted variants.
Features
- Root systems beneath naturally generated vanilla trees
- Root generation when saplings grow
- Rooted Grass Block
- Rooted Podzol
- Vanilla Rooted Dirt beneath the surface
- Hanging Roots beneath exposed soil
- Support for trees growing on cliffs, slopes, and ledges
- Irregular root shapes based on tree size
- Vanilla-style visuals and behaviour
The mod does not replace vanilla trees and does not modify existing trees in already generated areas.
Muddy World Compatibility
Rooted Trees includes optional compatibility with Muddy World.
When both mods are installed, trees, bamboo, fallen-tree stumps, and supported tall plants can generate the appropriate rooted muddy soil variants instead of replacing them with vanilla blocks.
Muddy World is not required. Rooted Trees works normally without it.
