Make the oak tree grow acorns instead of apples.

As a biology and botany student, it feels quite unrealistic that oak trees drop apples. In reality, oaks (Quercus) produce acorns, while apples come from apple trees (Malus). To make the game’s ecology more coherent and immersive, these two resources could be separated.

Suggested changes

1. Oaks and dark oaks drop acorns instead of apples

   • Acorns could serve as a minor food item, restoring a small amount of hunger.

   • When roasted in a furnace, they could provide slightly more nutrition.

   • They could also be used to feed certain animals.

2. Add a new mob: squirrels

   • Naturally spawn in forest biomes.

   • Can be fed with acorns.

   • Might pick up and store acorns similarly to how foxes interact with berries.

3. Introduce a new tree type: the apple tree

   • Spawns in temperate biomes or near villages.

   • Drops apples naturally from its leaves.

   • Could have a unique wood texture, lighter than oak but darker than birch.

Benefits

• Improves ecological and botanical realism.

• Adds new food and crafting resources.

• Enriches forest biomes with new interactions and life.
