Looks good.  Are any of the trees biome dependent?  Such as the palm trees being desert?  And are these set up to be in addition to vanilla trees or replacing them entirely?

They exist as a supplement to the vanilla, I have thought about replacing it entirely, but the desert doesn't seem to have many trees present.

This is awesome! Thank you so much for this variety!

some tree/plant pics for inspiration :

  Swamp:

        Bald Cypress

        Cattail

        Marshwort

       Waterlily

       Duckweed (this maybe better a texture?)

Oak with Spanish Moss 

Tree linded Road Oaks with spanish Moss

I guess with OCBs CustomTexture thingy and your mod  we could create a really nice swamp biome!

I think I can make them, they will come along with the 2.0 release

 
I like the Mod but have a question. Is anyone having the issue with some plants seeming to large? The Elefantear plant is as big as a character in game. Will there be a config to allieviate it?
Thankful for any replies.

Thanks for the likes, this actually didn't have any confidence when I posted it, you guys gave me the confidence. I will be perfecting the environment in the future, which includes all areas and also the landscape plants

Can't fix it in the config, they are fixed size asset files, can you tell me which plants are too big and I'll adjust them in the next update

Of course. I'll be replying either today or tomorrow. :)

 
I love the trees, but forest seem less dense?
i fix by changing prob of pine trees. still have your trees but not as common as vanilla and thicker forests:

The main thing is not the density of the forest, but for the sake of low performance computers taking into account the smoothness issue, too many trees will lead to unfriendly FPS for low performance computers

 
Very good little mod, the trees are well done, too bad that the quality of vanilla textures lose their sharpness after this addition.

I don't really get it because I can't post 4K textures for reasons based on game asset optimisation. All the overhaul modules I've made myself can only use 1080 textures, the ones posted here are 2K textures

This module supports version A21.2B37, what version are you using? Also the generation is random, you can't have two similar plants in the same location on the same map, it's official!

 
A21.2B37

No, nothing to do with the plants in pictures is unintentional.
I wanted to show you the sharpness of the trees and herbs with and without your mod, the details are missing it’s blurred

the mod decreases the quality of the graphics

Does this problem exist? Doesn't seem to be much of a concern, I'll be testing to see if such a problem actually exists in the near future. It doesn't seem logical that it should cause such a problem
