About
The Natural Woods Mod expands Minecraft’s wood selection with 25 real-world-inspired tree species, each with its own logs, planks, leaves and sapling, using wood colors and bark designs based on natural examples rather than fantastical hues. The species grow in distinct biomes across a separate Natural Woods dimension, reached through a portal made from reinforced homogenized wood planks and activated with a crafted riftcutter. Examples include beech in the Beech Forest, black cherry in the Black Forest, mangrove in the Mangrove biome, and eucalyptus in Eucalyptus Forests; some trees also have distinctive traits, such as paperbark yielding paper when sheared and manchineel poisoning players who mine it. Saplings do not grow on their own: they need bonemeal or another dye to become trees, and leaves always drop saplings that can be propagated with a dead bush and bonemeal. Wood from the new species and vanilla trees can be crafted into reinforced planks for compact storage or tougher building blocks, while beams can be made from wood types including petrified and vanilla wood. The mod also adds petrified wood, found in underground clusters and the Petrified Forest, plus wildlife including black and grizzly bears, crocodiles, crabs, deer and kangaroos; these mobs drop materials such as bearhide, crab legs and venison.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.11.2 to 1.12.2.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.11.2 to 1.12.2.
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of both files, for Minecraft 1.11.2 to 1.12.2. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
