Tree Hollows Revived

Now and then a tree in the wild has a hollow in its trunk: a small hidden stash with a little loot inside. Keep an eye on the trees on your travels.

It carries on Tree Hollows by Reoseah, for new versions of Minecraft and for NeoForge.

Features

• Hollows in trees: about one tree in twenty has a hollow in its trunk, a little above head height, in the trees of every vanilla wood.
• A little loot: sticks, feathers, eggs, seeds, mushrooms and gold nuggets, and with luck an enchanted book, an emerald or a music disc.
• Take one home: mine a hollow with Silk Touch to keep it as a small 3×3 container. Without it, a hollow breaks into sticks.
• Trees you grow sometimes get a hollow too, but an empty one.

Crafting

Hollows can't be crafted: they're found in trees.

Dependencies

Required:

• YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), on every loader: 3.8.2 or later for 1.21.1, 3.9.7 or later for 26.3.
• Fabric API on Fabric and Quilt.

Optional: Mod Menu on Fabric and Quilt, to open the config screen from the mod list.

Quilt on 26.3: for now, clients need Quilt Loader 0.31.0 (a beta). YACL crashes the current stable release, 0.30.1, at startup. 1.21.1 runs on the stable release.

Config

For datapack authors

Loot: each wood has its own loot table, data/tree_hollows_revived/loot_table/tree_hollow/<wood>.json (oak, spruce, cherry and so on). They all draw from the same three tables in that folder, common, uncommon and rare. Replace a wood's table to change that wood's loot, or a shared one to change them all. The seeds come from the c:seeds tag, so seeds from other mods turn up too.

Tags: tree_hollows_revived:hollows holds every hollow, as blocks and as items.

Trees: every tree whose trunk is a vanilla log can get a hollow. To give one of your tree features its own chance, name the hollow among its decorators:

"decorators": [
  { "type": "tree_hollows_revived:tree_hollow", "chance": 0.2 }
]

chance is the share of these trees that get a hollow, from 0 to 1, in new and grown trees alike; 0 keeps hollows out of them. Without chance, the settings apply.
