I've never understood why azalea trees are the only tree not to have it's own wood type, why did Mojang use oak then immediately go back to adding new wood for the next trees added.

Moss layers and especially surface moss are nice blocks for building overgrown and dilapidated structures as it really helps as a sense of age to blocks without a dedicated moss form. My only issue with them is the surface moss is a very bright green compared to traditional mossy block variants.

That being said, the azalea flowers are a bit weird to me, how do you cut a flower off a bush and then get a full flower that can grow in the ground? Additionally, the flower textures aren't the best in my opinion, looking a bit square.

This mod is good overall and I would recommend to anyone who likes building i overgrown structures or who just likes more wood types.

Description

ALL OF THIS MOD'S CONTENT (AND FUTURE UPDATES) HAVE MOVED TO ECOLOGICS: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/ecologics 

(Don't worry though, this mod page will not be deleted)

Do you wish Mojang added Azalea wood to 1.17? Are you in need of new natural decor? Better Azalea aims to fix that by adding a unique Azalea wood type and new moss decoration blocks!

📖 Features

  • New Azalea logs and Flowering Azalea logs, which replace the oak wood on the vanilla azalea tree. They can be crafted into planks, which are used to craft the other wood decoration blocks. It matches perfectly with the moss and lush cave biome.
  • A beautiful azalea flower, which can be obtained by using shears on flowering azalea leaves, bushes, or logs. 
  • Moss layers: Ever wish the moss carpets were stackable like snow layers? Well this is it.
  • Surface Moss: A new item that can be placed on the sides of blocks up to 3 times, increasing the amount of moss on that surface with each layer. This is perfect for decorating natural areas. 
  • Azalea trees have a rare chance of spawning naturally in plains and forest biomes. To grow the tree yourself, either bonemeal the vanilla azalea bush or the azalea flower. This can all be modified in the config file.
