A tree and forest mod for Minecraft, on Fabric
Paint a forest across your world, or plant one tree exactly where you want it.
The trees come from the VoxelSprout tree generator: 45 species, from oak and beech to redwood, baobab, mangrove, bonsai and dead snags. The brush spaces them the way a wood grows, and they stand on the terrain with their roots in it.
Not released yet. The Modrinth page opens with the first version.
Recorded in the game, with vanilla textures. Click a clip to pause it.
Press K, fly over the land and drag the forest brush across it. You see the wood as ghost trees first; Enter plants the lot as one stroke.
The same field before and after, from the same spot. Drag the handle. Trees follow the terrain and push their roots into it, so they look grown in, not set down.
For a single tree by a house, in a garden or on a hill. The next tree shows as a ghost where it will stand. Click to plant it, right click to turn it, R for another one. Hold the button and move for a row.
All six toolsPress J in the game. The species are pictures that turn when you hover them, and the 3D preview follows every change. Pick a page to see it.
Press B while painting. It opens down the side, the world stays in view, and changes apply as you make them.
Z and Y undo and redo a whole stroke, erasing included, for the whole session.

Read moreEvery paint key works without Shift, Ctrl or Alt, so it works the same on a Mac and a trackpad.
All keysReal woods have a few habits, and the brush copies them: crowns set the spacing, neighbors are of an age, each species grows in patches, and the edge of a stroke frays out. Below is one stroke from above, worked out with the same rules the mod uses. Change the style or the sliders and watch it change.
Every tree is grown by the tree generator from a seed, so no two need to be the same. Each species has its own way of growing: an oak that races for light and then spreads, a willow that weeps, a redwood with a buttressed foot once it is old. When the generator gets a new species, Wildform has it too, without an update.
An oak from the generator, seed sprout. Drag to turn it.
Nothing to install on the server. Wildform uses what the server already lets you use, in this order, and the brush panel says which ones work where you are. When a server refuses one, Wildform stops using it there and shows you the server's reason.
1. Singleplayer
Blocks go straight into the world. The fastest way.
Needs: Nothing
2. Servers with the AxiomPaper plugin
Speaks the plugin's own protocol. With the Axiom mod installed, Wildform leaves Axiom to it and goes through the mod.
Needs: The axiom.use permission, or the Axiom mod installed
3. Any server
Boxes of the same block are merged, so a tree takes as few commands as it can.
Needs: Operator status
4. Servers with WorldEdit or FAWE
With FAWE, one schematic paste per tree. Without operator status the server allows about one command a second, so big trees take a while.
Needs: Permission for //set
5. Anywhere BuildPrint runs
Trees go into a BuildPrint blueprint, not the world: one per world, kept up to date as you paint and undo. Build it by hand or with easy place.
Needs: BuildPrint installed
With BuildPrint installed, trees can go into a BuildPrint blueprint instead of the world. BuildPrint shows them as a ghost build with a material list, and easy place can put the blocks down for you.
A forest looks best with a build in it. The marketplace has schematics made by players: houses, towers, farms, gardens and more, each shown in 3D in your browser before you download it.

Client-side only. Nothing is installed on the server. Needs an internet connection: the trees come from voxelsprout.com.
Wildform is in development. The Modrinth page opens with the first release; early builds are on Discord.
Taken in a real world with vanilla textures. Click one for the full size.
How each part works, with every setting and its default.
Not yet. It works and is being tested, but the first version is not released. Early builds and news go out on Discord first. The Modrinth page goes live with the first release.
No. Wildform runs on your client only. On a server it places blocks with what the server already lets you use: Axiom, /fill or WorldEdit. With none of those, it can put the trees into a BuildPrint blueprint for you to build. See Placing on servers.
Yes, with BuildPrint. Painting from survival, Wildform puts the trees into a BuildPrint blueprint instead of the world. BuildPrint shows them as a ghost build with a material list, and easy place can put the blocks down. Trees do not appear for free. See BuildPrint and survival.
In the tree picker, Blocks: placeable by hand makes the generator use only blocks a player could place in survival.
Yes. Trees are grown by the tree generator on voxelsprout.com and fetched when you need them. Trees you used before are kept on your computer, so they come back without a new download.
Yes. Z undoes a whole stroke and Y redoes it. Ghost trees are undone first, then planted strokes. The eraser is a step in the history too. Undo covers the current session. See Ghosts and undo.
No. Wildform does not change how new chunks generate. It is a building tool: you choose where the trees go.
