Minecraft Dynamic Trees mod guide: Features and how to download

Trees are one of the most common features that generate in a Minecraft world. The entire Overworld realm is filled with different biomes, most of which generate various kinds of trees like oak, spruce, birch, dark oak, mangrove, cherry, pale, and so on. While these trees have different shapes and sizes even in the vanilla version, they do not look anywhere similar to real-life trees. Furthermore, their growth mechanism also feels unrealistic.

Since one of Minecraft's editions is based on the Java language, the game's community has created countless mods to add various third-party features. One such mod is Dynamic Trees, which drastically changes how trees look and grow in Minecraft.

Features and download guide for the Dynamic Trees mod for Minecraft

What does the Dynamic Trees mod offer?

Dynamic Trees is a highly detailed mod that solely focuses on how trees look and grow in Minecraft. The first major difference you will notice is a tree's shape and size. Modded trees will have thick bark, followed by thinner branches that generate tree leaves. These thinner branches will spread more horizontally than vertically, just like regular real-life branches.

While each type of tree will have a different kind of height and spread, different trees in the same species will also be distinct. This will make every tree in the game unique.

This mod completely changes how the trees grow in Minecraft. While you usually get a sapling from a tree that you can place in the vanilla version, this mod makes trees drop real seeds randomly.

While you will need to plant a sapling manually for it to grow, the mod allows the seeds to be sown automatically. In turn, they grow into new trees if the weather conditions are favorable.

Lastly, in the vanilla version, the sapling instantly grows into a full tree. In this mod, however, the seed will grow into a small plant, then into a bush, then into a small tree, and finally become a fully grown tree. The growth is much smoother as each leaf block and branch grows gradually.

The mod even adds various potions like potion of depletion, burgeoning, transformation, and gigas, each of which can be applied to trees or the soil to either stop or speed up a tree's growth.
