Wild Update: Extended Tree Variety

Since the wild update is coming out, I feel that trees overall could use a little bit of touching up. For example, there are a few designs for say an oak tree but overall it looks the same besides the occasional big tree. Instead of the big tree, why not rework the tree design as a whole and more! Mojang reworked the world generation terrain wise and now it's time for the tree and the wild update is perfect for it.

Let's move on a bit more into detail on what I mean. In the Nether, the warped and crimson fungus trees have a LOT of variety. The stems are all over the place and the "leaves" have various formations. This is what I mean by tree variation. This can also go for all types of trees as well not just oak. Trees can become a bit bigger, taller, and wider.

There can still be small variants of course but when you walk in the forest, it shouldn't look like the same size everywhere. This could also introduce 3x3 and even 4x4 sapling growth formations as well! On a bonus note, tree growth could also be biome-dependent if that is possible. For example, an oak tree in a forest may look different from an oak tree in a swamp. This would apply to saplings too.

In conclusion or tl;dr: Trees could use a bit of touching up with a variety of designs, potential biome dependency, and overall new aesthetic forests.

    Yeah, I agree the forest could use more variety, however we have to still make sure that it is easy to gather wood, and make it controllable so people can fam them reliably. I DEFINITELY agree that Azalea needs its own wood, it feel like it is just a tree with fancy leaves, and not it’s own tree. Overall, great idea though! :)

    At first i was not very happy with the wild update, since we would just be getting ancient city( dont get me wrong i love the deep dark gameplay design). But this improved when mangrove swamps, mud bricks and frog was added. Even though they were small changed , it felt somewhat like the wild update.

    To me the wild update always meant new trees fauna and dynamic diversity in biomes. Addition of pre -historic/ancient trees that are rare to find in deep forests is a concept i would like to see implemented. A great example is the Banyan tree, its sheer scale would give players goosebumps upon stumbling. It could have suspicious sand and gravel scattered around it or any new mechanic corresponding to exploration. It would not regrow since its ancient. The banyan would be a really cool addition if its scale is same as irl.

    Same with jungles. Please make variety in jungles like the bamboo forest patches.  Deep canopy jungles with massive trees of several types and not just a single type. Make the jungle mysterious and overgrown and add variety like small twisting rivers with packed mud river beds. The jungle would feel like a different place seperated from the world.
