Taller Forests Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Do I need to create a new world for taller trees to generate?
Yes, you need to generate new chunks for the mod's tree height changes to take effect. Existing forest areas in your world will keep their original tree heights unless you delete those chunks and let them regenerate.
Will taller trees affect my FPS or performance?
The mod has minimal performance impact since it only adjusts tree height, not the number of trees or leaf density. You may see a slight improvement in some cases because taller trees mean fewer leaves at ground level, reducing collision checks.
Do the taller trees work in all forest biomes?
The mod affects standard forests, flower forests, birch woodlands, taiga, and snowy taiga biomes. Other biomes with trees may not be included, so check your specific biome type if you're not seeing changes.
Can I disable taller trees in specific biomes?
This depends on the mod's configuration options—check your mod's config file for biome-specific settings that let you toggle the feature on or off for individual biome types.
Do taller trees change how much wood I can harvest?
No, the total amount of wood per tree stays the same; the mod only stretches the tree vertically so leaves sit higher and don't block your path.
Will this mod conflict with other mods that change tree generation?
Potentially yes—mods that heavily modify tree structure or biome generation may conflict. Test your mod combination in a new world first, or check community forums for known compatibility issues.
Why do some trees still feel short in my forests?
Small trees and saplings that haven't fully grown will still be short by design. Only mature, fully-generated trees in dense forest areas receive the height increase.
Does this work with custom terrain or world generation mods?
Compatibility varies depending on how the terrain mod generates biomes and trees. Mods that completely replace forest generation may override this mod's changes.
Can I use this mod with shader packs and resource packs?
Yes, taller trees work fine with shaders and resource packs since the mod only changes tree height, not textures or rendering. Your visual enhancements will apply normally to the taller trees.
Do poplar trees get the same height increase as other trees?
Poplar trees receive a slight height adjustment rather than the full increase given to other tree types, to keep their proportions balanced and maintain ground-level movement.
