CliffTree 2.1 - Spring to Life

The first release for 1.21.5, the recent drop has benefitted CliffTree greatly, with new features that complement the pack's vision!

Features

• Included everything introduced in the Spring to Life drop, such as bushes, dry grass, cactus flowers, leaf litter, wildflowers, etc.
• Short grass no longer generates on beaches, now replaced with short and tall dry grass. The grass color of beach and shore biomes have also been adjusted to be green thanks to this change.
• Oasis cacti no longer have a chance to generate pink petals, since the cactus flower fills this niche more organically
• Integrated new farm animal variants to CliffTree biomes
• Leaf litter amount in forests is slightly reduced compared to vanilla
• Windswept forests and pale gardens now also generate with leaf litter
• Fallen trees have been updated to match vanilla's new implementation
• Mushrooms and moss carpets no longer generate on non-fallen tree logs such as village roofs, in order to not be invasive to packs that add other structures

CliffTree x Tectonic Add-on

An add-on datapack that adds compatibility with Tectonic's terrain generation has been released, which can be downloaded here

CliffTree 2.0: The Garden Awakens!

With the new drop, CliffTree enters version 2.0, featuring a tweaked Pale Garden and new river caves!

Pale Garden

• Slightly more common and can generate on lower levels
• Gave Pale Oak trees a more unique leaf shape compared to Dark Oak, with leaves that hang down slightly
• Rebalanced hostile mob spawns in the Pale Garden to reduce the amount of distractions, letting you focus more on fending off the Creakings, which spawn slightly more frequently.
• Made Oak trees uncommonly generate in the biome

River Caves

• Rivers can now carve through valleys, creating underground rivers that go through terrain!
• Special thanks to Apollo for letting us reference their underground river code

Additionally, biome distribution has been slightly readjusted

Clifftree 1.8

IMPORTANT

• This update cuts support for 1.20.5 to 1.21.1, we took this decision to not bloat more the datapack with overlays
• This update does not support the Winter Drop experiments, as the Pale Garden is still undergoing development

Changelog:

• Raised the amount of mushrooms in dark forests
• New moss spreading!!
  • Moss can now grow in the walls and the ceiling
  • Moss can now grow cave vines, vines and spore blossoms
  • Azaleas are now more common
• Added small rubble ruins to the deep dark
• Added Spanish translations
• Adjusted the spawn potential of animals in the sparse jungle, now wolves are more common
• Improved the stone cliffs appearance

• Added many tags to allow better compatibility with several mods

Fix error in 1.20.1 due to missing diamond feature

Caught up to date the backport for 1.20.0-4

Fixed the loot tables for smooth sandstone and red sandstone for 1.20.5

Additions

• New sunflower plains overhaul, featuring higher density of sunflowers, a lot of dandelions and pumpkins
• Added azaleas back to the moss patch out of people's request, they are less frequent than vanilla still
• Fallen spruce logs and spruce village roofs now feature some mushroom alongside the moss
• Added hidden suspicious sand/gravel to beaches
  • they generate bellow the surface level and aren't common to find, also feature very weak loot, so I wouldn't recommend looking for them
• Added dirt caves which generate bellow the stone oceans, they feature plenty of coarse dirt at stone levels and gravel at deepslate
• Added the dirt and gravel from the new dirt caves to the mushroom caves

Fixes

• Fixed grass generating on the frozen ocean icebergs
