The mod adds the following:

Add-Ons:

  • If you're used to bushier leaves (like the ones in the featured image in the gallery), or would like to try them, you can find a texture pack that will make all Vanilla and BFB leaves bushier here.
  • If (like I was) you were used to Vanilla Tweaks' retexturing of the Nether Woods, you can find a texture pack to make BFB's bookshelves fit with them here.
  • If (like I am) you're used to Vanilla Tweaks' crafting tweaks, you can find a datapack doing the equivalent for BFB recipes here.
  • Older versions of BFB had a Paper Lantern, which was removed as of v3.1.0. If you want it back, you can find it here.
  • If you were fond of the original Ghostwood textures, or simply prefer them to Pale Oak, you can find a pack to change Pale Oak plank textures to Ghostwood here.

Shaders used in gallery images are Complementary Reimagined.

Compatibilities:

  • ModernFix (and specifically its optional Dynamic Resource functionality) is currently known to cause issues in other mods, including Blocks for Builders, when installed server-side, so if you want to run BFB, make sure you're not running ModernFix on a server.
