Moog's Trees and Log Piles

Moog's Trees and Log Piles is a group of 24 surface structures added by Moog's Voyager Structures. They generate in the Overworld and are built from vanilla blocks: log piles, living trees, dead trees, and the Tree Monument, a stone ruin. Most of the group is scenery. Only the big oak tree holds chests, and no template places mobs or spawners. The dead trees matter more for Fear Nightfall, because the pack places them among its horror structures, which makes them denser than the other trees in the same forests.

Generation

The structures are placed by the jigsaw placement of the moogs_structures library. Each type has its own placement grid, and the spacing and separation values in the table below are the in-game values, already scaled for the pack. The groups have distinct biome ranges:

• Log piles use the biome tag of their wood. Acacia piles appear in savanna biomes, birch piles in birch forests and taigas, dark oak piles in dark forests, jungle piles in jungle biomes, oak piles in the broad forest biomes, and spruce piles in taiga biomes. The oak and spruce piles have the widest ranges, at 41 and 32 biomes.
• Living trees follow the same wood-based tags, except the oak and big oak trees, which appear in plains-type biomes. Cherry trees are limited to two biomes, Magnolia Woodland and Cherry Grove.
• Dead trees have the widest reach. The dead oak tree is placed in any Overworld biome, 279 in total. The dead spruce tree is placed in 32 taiga biomes, and the other dead trees in the biomes of their wood.
• The Tree Monument is placed in any Overworld biome (279 in total).

In a 26 km² survey sample, the dead oak tree was the most common structure, with 18 found. Dead spruce trees followed with 5, and living spruce trees with 4. Living oak trees had 2, and the dead birch, dead jungle, oak log pile, spruce log pile and Tree Monument had 1 each. The other structures in the group did not appear in the sample.

The pack changes the spacing of the horror structures. Dead trees are placed about 30% closer together than the mod's defaults, and the dead oak tree is the most frequent structure in the sample. Horror structures are concentrated in temperate-to-cool, humid forests, taigas and swamps, so dead trees are most common in those biomes.

Layout

Log piles

Six variants exist: acacia, birch, dark oak, jungle, oak and spruce. Each is a stack of logs of its matching wood, set on coarse dirt with a campfire and a stretch of rail. The birch and spruce piles also include plain dirt. The oak and spruce piles are the largest, with a typical size of 29×28×31 blocks. Log piles are spaced 122 chunks apart, with a separation of 76.

Living trees

Nine variants exist: oak, big oak, birch, cherry, dark oak, jungle, jungle palm, spruce and acacia. Most are spaced 84 chunks apart, with a separation of 61. The big oak tree is the exception at 185 chunks, with a separation of 122, and is the only tree in the group with chests. The oak tree has a typical size of 36×39×36 blocks and the spruce tree 30×37×30.

Dead trees

Eight variants exist: acacia, birch, cherry, dark oak, jungle, mangrove, oak and spruce. Each is built from the logs, fences, slabs and stairs of its wood. The dead oak tree, for example, uses oak logs, oak fences, oak slabs and oak stairs. The dead trees have a spacing of 48 chunks, the tightest in the group, and a separation of 41. Because they are the most numerous, dead trees are the most likely members of this group to be found by a player. They are horror structures, and the pack's placement changes for horror structures apply to them.

Tree Monument

The Tree Monument is the largest structure in the group, with a typical size of 61×35×61 blocks. Its walls and floors are built from cobblestone and stone bricks, with mossy and cracked variants, tuff, gravel and dirt paths. Oak leaves, vines and flowers are also part of its block palette. The monument has a spacing of 360 chunks and a separation of 309, the widest of any structure in the group. One was found in the 26 km² survey sample.

Inhabitants

None of the 24 templates places mobs or spawners. The structures are empty of enemies and villagers. Any mobs met near them come from the normal spawning of the surrounding biome, not from the structure itself.

Loot

The big oak tree is the only structure in the group with chests. Its chests use the mod's general loot table, which rolls one to three times for iron ingots (0–2), iron nuggets (0–5) or emeralds (weighted lowest), then two to four times for oak planks (1–4), wheat seeds (2–6) or bread (2–4). The other structures contain no containers. The generated table below lists the chest loot.

Tips

The big oak tree is the only place in this group to find loot, and its chests can give iron ingots and emeralds. Log piles and living trees are landmarks that help with navigation in their biomes. Dead trees are the most common structure in the group, so expect to meet them often in the humid forests, taigas and swamps where horror structures concentrate. The Tree Monument is rare and has no chests, so it is worth visiting only as a waypoint.
