So I haven't had much time to work on these mods in the last couple months, spring is a VERY busy time for me and my partner, I am a homesteader so almost all my time rn is being taken up by the garden and firewood gathering lol. 

Expect some updates coming mid to late summer, and in the fall after halloween ;)
(and maybe some stuff around halloween)

`Alive | Dynamic Ecosystems` is a minecraft mod that is a component of the Alive Modding Ecosystem.  

This mod compliments `Alive | Advanced Block Decay`, and is highly reccomended you play with it!

Tree's will spread seedlings and plant saplings around them. Over time forests will grow, and become dense. The logic behind this mod allows it to behave similarly to how actual forest ecosystems work in real life! (Stages of ecological succession)

On top of tree's, vines, flowers, and even ice can grow, change and die! Meaning the natural aspects of your world are constantly changing!

NOTE: This mod IS compatible with serene seasons, and will adjust its behaviour depending on the biome and season!

Mod Features:

• Tree's will naturally plant saplings around them, grow, and spread (vanilla friendly!)
• Shrubs & flowers will naturally sprout around you, in other words, mow your damn lawn!
• Vines will grow on cliffs and high up block faces when biome climate and season permit
• This mod is serene seasons compatible! The mods behaviour will change depending on seasons! (Based on rough approxamations of real world growing conditions of respective plants and shrubs!)
• If human entities (players, villagers, and pillagers) are nearby, tree's and shrubs will not grow/spread so long as they remain near
