Josiah Gibbonson Posted March 23, 2025 Report Posted March 23, 2025 Will they eventually give trees actual tree branches so they can appear bare in winter, and also stand out from minecraft's trees? or not?
LadyWYT Posted March 23, 2025 Report Posted March 23, 2025 If they decide to rework all the trees, maybe. But I'm guessing probably not. The tree models we have now work well enough, and I would also say they stand out a bit from Minecraft trees due to the more detailed textures and variety of tree shapes. The fruit trees, however, do have branches, and their appearance changes a little more dramatically with the seasons. As to why other trees don't work like this--I presume it's mostly due to the processing power it would require to simulate the loss/regrowth of all those leaves.

Or newer? Maybe they could be an indicator other trees will follow suite in having branches. Beats me though.

I think they were added in 1.16, and given how different they are from "regular" trees I wouldn't say they're a precursor to a tree overhaul. It's always possible, I suppose, but not likely.
Thorfinn Posted March 23, 2025 Report Posted March 23, 2025 I have no real strong feelings one way or the other. I'm inclined to think it would be CPU intensive to be adding updates to that many trees to the tasklist, but if not, fine. Should be relatively easy to check. Turn the forestation to 0, and the fruit trees to whatever it takes to make a forest and see.
Zane Mordien Posted March 23, 2025 Report Posted March 23, 2025 I wonder how hard it would be. It snows and your game has to keep up with that. Updating tree textures by season seems very similar.
