Description
Time to get lost in the forest!
A quick datapack that I've created to increase the tree heights of most trees in vanilla Minecraft. All trees retain their vanilla appearance except their heights are doubled or even more!
Heightened was pretty much inspired by a concept art from Mojang (more on that below), and also by one my favorite Forge mods called "Dynamic Trees". Heightened's vision is to complement the sense of scale that the 1.18 update introduced to Minecraft's world generation. It's goal is simple, make the trees look bigger and retain vanilla's aesthetic, giving a different atmosphere to its forest. Being an enhancement is its main intention, not replacement.
Current version of Heightened, 2.0.
FAQs
Q: Help! I can''t chop all the wood!
A: I would definitely install a tree chopping mod/datapack. It's a tradeoff between aesthetic and game design.
Q: Will this mod be backported for 1.16.5?
A: No. I have no plans currently to do that.
Q: The new trees don't appear from saplings!
A: This is a limitation on my end and I'm unable to solve it for now. I've yet to see a datapack that does this, therefore I have no references currently to implement this.
Q: Are the images with Steve rendered?
A: Nope! Those are in game photos.
