About this project
What does Must Have Taller Trees add?

Have you ever noticed when you are trying to run through a forest that the lower branches and leaves are just too low down? How many oak trees in real life do you know that are that low to the floor?
This is one thing where Minecraft in my view has got wrong.
This is where my Must Have Taller Trees mod comes in and saves the day!

But my mod does not stop there!
As well as lifting the height of the trees, it also adds fallen logs, usually with moss on them, mushrooms dotted around, and fallen leaves spread around the base of the trees. Also keep an eye out for ladders left on trees. Might be very useful early game! 😉
But a forest is never that quiet. So I added some life to it too!
We also have Songbirds and Woodpeckers!
In fact, you will even spot nests in the trees once in a while.
Those pesky woodpeckers also drill out holes in the trees too!
So go ahead and add this mod to your modpack today.
Next time you want to run through the forest, you won't get a face full of leaves!
Enjoy
