What are you saying that your tree farms have all tree types in them? That sounds interesting lol.
I haven't mentioned tree farms.
Do you know, how I harvest wood? As usually, on large scale. I have some part of my land for that very purpose, and I grow trees in 5 by 5 grid there. I plant them, leave to do something else, then harvest it all, replant it, repeat until I have enough logs. Then maybe different tree type.
Except of jungle trees. Their saplings are like aurum to me, super valuable. So I deforest jungle in some area. So far, it works fine. If I want piceae wood, I plant always the gigant version.

Birch are my favorite tree because they are always harvestable from the ground, and are relatively consistent growth-wise so if I'm lining a path I don't have to worry about one of the trees randomly being 3x bigger than the others or having leaves too low to walk underneath.
Oak can be really annoying early game because on one hand you get free food, but on the other there's a small chance of having a huge annoying tree that needs to be climbed and is hard to cut all the way down without accidentally leaving bits behind.
Spruce not only has the same problem of oak that sometimes leaves need to be broken on the way to the trunk because they grow so low to the ground, but sometimes require pillaring up to take out the last few logs on the top which chews through extra axe durability and is just annoying.
Jungle and dark oak are pretty nice, because the 2x2 trunks are easy to spiral up and give a ton of wood. Acacia are usually too tall but at least the branches are visible without leaves in the way.
All in all, I think my least favorite is probably spruce, with oak as a close second.
You can hang cocoa pods on jungle wood for a trippy lantern look. If this is at the top of your wall, spiders cannot get over your wall.
Got so inspired by this I went an tried it out. First I just wanted to see if the pods were light sources by themselves.
Since they weren't I started experimenting with hiding lanterns and then glowstone above behind trap doors.
In the end it grew into a small jungle home in Creative Mode:
I actually like the result so much I think I will recreate it in my survival world, where I don't have any jungle themed building yet, and see if I can record a tutorial of it while I'm at it, something I have never really done, but would love to try.

I wish Mojang would increase the drop rates of saplings for jungle trees a bit, I don't like deforesting jungles, or any forest for that matter!
Yeah, I love the idea of "If you don't like something, make it better".Thosee are some nice tree textures btw!
Credits to bDoubleO100 for creating them. I actually think the slight modifications of the vanilla textures in his pack are so well thought out that Minecraft and Mojang would benefit from working with him and integrating them into the official vanilla version.
From a tree perspective, I don't like how Birch and Oak are just the same, but Birch is occasionally larger. If I designed the trees, they'd look something like this:
Birch should split into two or three branches near the base, while Oak should just have larger trees and not use the current, boring model.
Yes, that's how real birches and oak trees look like. Of course, birches can grow much higher, I think trees perhaps double or even triple the size of the one in your screenshot would look great
Jungle Wood has a strange off-red color that I find hard to integrate into builds, even as a "rotten wood" kind of block. Acacia Wood has this problem too, although it seems like if you have enough blocks of a similar palette you could use the wood there. Dark Oak is useful in dark builds, but it's way too dark. At a certain point if a texture is dark enough, it just looks like a glitchy lighting error.
These are spot on some of the reasons why I use bDoubleO's textures.
Doorwise, I think Acacia and Jungle are again the least useful doors to match their wood types. This is kind of a shame because it means that not even in a situation where you can find a spot where Acacia or Jungle wood could be used, their door types are less useful in those situations.
It makes sense to me that they are very open since their corresponding trees grow in hot biomes, but I'd love to hear more on how you would prefer them to look like!
I wish Mojang would increase the drop rates of saplings for jungle trees a bit, I don't like deforesting jungles, or any forest for that matter!
Yeah, I also don't understand the reasoning behind lowered drop rates of saplings of jungle trees. Is it because they can produce a lot of wood? But what about gigant piceas then? Using them, you can get an unimaginable amount of wood.
I also don't like that I'm basically forced to deforest jungles. One of the most rarest, beautiful biomes.I don't want to rekt that place (for that I have westland mine).

Ye, I agree with what you said about Oak. Even though it is more wood (with the large trees) it is always so annoying.

Except like... the fact that the produce a lot of wood, from a literatlly standpoint means they should have mare sapplings... but minecraft is not a game abut doing things realistically, in fact, I really enjoy some of the janky unrealistic features.
Birch looks nice when stripped, but unstripped I have to agree out with the zebras. I'm also not a huge fan of spruce trees, although I like the design.
The big trees are a hassle to cut down but look really nice when landscaping. To each is own.

I generally don't like oak trees. Both because I sort of find them the "default" tree (In no small part because most generated structures use oak wood, and it's the oldest wood), which makes them look rather bland to me. On top of that, I find branched oak trees to be the most annoying to cut down compared with the amount of wood I get from them, both due to the branches, and because playing in Fast graphics makes missing some wood blocks quite easy.
A close second to me are Spruce trees, which are tall enough to require scaffolding to chop down, but don't produce enough wood to be worthwhile. At least they do look good, and large spruce trees are a better alternative at obtaining large amounts of spruce wood.

Huh, yeah I really haven't used stripped trees much yet, but yeah the new textures do look cool!

Yes, Birch are definitely the best farm tree. If you've adopted the underground lifestyle, it's not too hard to hollow enough space for a birch farm.
Speaking about this, I've have been busy replacing logs with full wood blocks
That's such an awesome build challenge. Even just in creative mode, I'd probably try it first there...

Hi, you are a cool person!
I love all the wood types in Minecraft, but my least favorite wood type would have to be oak wood since it feels very plain.

Dark oaks are such a hassle to cut down, and the wood doesn't even look that great. Only good for doors and trapdoors.

Wind revamp and hot air balloons.
Birch. Half the time you cant craft with them which makes them useless.
ye, oak gets old.

Ye Oak trees are the steves of the tree world.
