roots for trees

[ScottKillen]

I like this idea. Please discuss your vision and how you think it should work. Keep in mind that it is not possible to add roots to vanilla trees without jar edits.

i will keep this in mind, and i do not like this fact. roots will be tree-specific (of course) and made of normal log. smaller trees can be like they are now, maybe the logs go 1-2 blocks deeper in the ground. larger trees (legend oak) will get a "log network" underground. it will look a bit like the over-ground-side of the tree (forgot the right word) without leaves. (roots going through caves will look epic, or on cliffs*). the roots will be generated with the trees like the tree itself (belonging to the tree). uhm... maybe they can have parts of the roots over the ground?

*cliffs: roots at cliffs need to be a bit different (http://namibsands.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/newlands_forest_roots.jpg)

as you can see, i am not a root specialist. sorry for that.

Excellent! Thanks for the comments!

Maybe at a certain height limit, you could bind the roots to the terrain, but below that, they could extend through the air. Potentially some very cool labyrinthine groves. BTW, Scott, I've downloaded both ExtraBiomesXL and Bunyan, and I've been observing your interactions with users, and you have got to be one of the most patient, amazing modders I've ever seen. I made an account on GitHub to tell you this. And also to provide feedback for Bunyan, which is a REALLY awesome mod.

@DigThat Thank you very much! I hope Bunyan can continue to give you lots of entertainment.
