About this project
What does Geophilic Backport add?

🌲 About:
Geophilic Backport is a mod/datapack that subtly improves the Pale Garden added from VanillaBackports with the improvements and details of Geophilic!
Here's a short list of the changes Geophilic Backport makes:
- Tree stumps and fallen trees are backported.
Some Vanilla Trees from the original Pale Garden are backported. - Small bushes grow in the Pale Garden biomes.
- Cobwebs appear around the trees of the Pale Garden.
- Eyeblossoms somewhat more common.
- New desert features like boulders and vegetation.
If you are not convinced, then go and see the pictures — a picture is worth at least two words, maybe even more!
Maybe in the future I will bring more features from the newer versions to the 1.20.1 or add more compatibility with other mods,.
I hope you enjoy it!
📋 Technical details:
- ⚠️ Requires Geophilic and VanillaBackports with Platform API.
