Gen Features

Gen Features

Generation features are additional things added to trees either during world generation or when growing naturally.

Features can be further configured by modifying their properties. Each feature has its own configuration, and some properties must be included for it to work properly. If no property needs to be modified the feature with its default configuration can be added by including the name directly instead of using an object.

Including default properties without configuring them

    "features" : [
        "bottom_flare",
        "mound",
        "roots"
    ]

Using a configured feature

    "features" : [
        {
