Summary

A Minecraft player has made a big change to the cherry tree leaves with the help of a resource pack. Minecraft is known for being a highly customizable game, where players can have fun in many ways.

Much of Minecraft's popularity comes from the mods that players create using programming skills. Mods add a plethora of content to Minecraft, such as new biomes and ores. Another equally popular feature is the resource pack, a way for Minecraft players to customize different aspects such as models, music, sounds, and more without coding. Minecraft has resource packs for download that add structures, change the interface, or enhance the vanilla Minecraft experience, and one player recently showed how using a resource pack changed one of game's trees.

Minecraft player changes cherry tree leaves and the community reacts

Reddit user NaterBobber has given the cherry tree leaves a new makeover with a resource pack they created. In the image shared by the player, they first show the official cherry tree, whose light pink presence is very predominant. The second half of the image shows the same tree with the game using the resource pack. It still has the characteristic color, but with more green spaces between the flowers, adding more depth and reducing the "flat block" feel. Minecraft got the cherry blossom biome as part of the Trails and Tales update, bringing the beauty of one of the world's most famous trees.

In the comments, other Redditors showed mixed feelings. Some approved of the change made by NaterBobber, with one player saying that although subtle, this change "looks much better." A second Redditor said they didn't like the "cotton candy look" of the cherry tree leaves, so they "would download the resource pack for sure." Another player pointed out that the changed cherry trees "have too much space between the leaves." A fourth Minecraft player said they prefer the original texture because its colors are more vivid. As well as adding the cherry biome, the Trails and Tales update introduced cherry wood. This wood can be processed and used just like the others, with the difference of the pink color that gives the structures created by Minecraft players a unique appearance.

While the Trails and Tales update brought content such as the new biome, armor trims, and new mobs, Mojang is already planning the future. During Minecraft Live 2023, the developer announced the next major Minecraft update, with copper items, a new structure, and the debut of the armadillo, winner of Mob Vote 2023. Another content planned for the update is the Crafter, a new Redstone-powered block.
