The dusk cypress forest is a much more fantastical environment than what's usually seen in Mubble. In fact, it is the very first biome to feature fictitious foliage and wood. The dusk cypress forest is centered around the two themes of night and water:
At night, dusk cypress trees are adorned with star sparkles and might even emit light. The foliage also reminds of the sumptuous colors of aurora borealis or twiglight skies.
As for water, bubbles are omniscient as they're spurted out all around the place by new plants. The biome also features more frequent water lakes.
Features
Trees
Dusk Cypress trees are made out of a white log, with a black bark. Their foliage is made of a soothing turquoise to magenta gradient. They're taller than other trees but their foliage is narrow. They effectively look like real world cypress, from the conifers group.
Woodset
The dusk cypress feature a white woodset, that follows the design of generic Minecraft woodsets, except for the fences.
The dusk cypress fences look sturdier than other fences as they're made out of pickets (~4 per block?).
Leaves
The color of the leaves are defined by a 1/10 Perlin Noise mapped to a gradient (which we name dusk gradient) on the client.
At night, they are adorned with star sparkles. They may collectible - and a new star item will be added in this update - but this PR won't tackle it.
Forest
The forest biome spawns in place of Minecraft's forests. The grass color is turquoise, and must be greener than the tree foliage
Tasks
Marked features are added in the java code, and can be placed in the world. This does not mean that they have their resources and data ready (see below). Their functionality however, must be finished to be marked as complete.
