The Minecraft snapshot 25w09a finally adds fallen trees to the Java edition. It was a much-requested Bedrock feature that players had hoped would make its way to the game, adding to the ever-expanding array of decorative blocks in the forest biomes.

Players can now find fallen trees as a decorative variant of trees. These blocks come in the four following variants — oak, birch, jungle, and spruce. Fallen birch trees can come in shorter or longer versions. This randomness adds diversity and variety to the spawn of this feature across separate areas in the world.

Additionally, some of these fallen trees can be decorated with mushrooms or vines, creating a sense of age and decay. This subtle feature is a major step towards immersion since real-life fallen logs are covered with vines and mushroom growth as they age.

This Minecraft snapshot adds this decorative block in all biomes where the standing variant of the trees mentioned above grows. The exceptions where there will be no fallen trees are:

• Meadow
• Bamboo Jungle
• River
• Grove
• Flower Forest (no fallen oak trees)

Similar to its Bedrock variant, players can interact with these fallen tree blocks using their hands or an axe to mine wood, making them an additional source in these forest biomes. The latest Minecraft snapshot finally brings parity between both editions with this much-awaited decorative feature, adding to the immersiveness of the forest biomes.

Apart from this, fallen tree blocks add aesthetic appeal and a sense of realism to the biomes. Paired with the recent addition of fallen leaves and leaf litter, these wooded biomes are set to become a real treat for explorers and nature lovers in the game. Players can now look forward to this feature being added officially as part of the upcoming Spring drop.
