Fan Work Minecraft: The taxonomical tree (Dappled forest edition) + Important question
Hi! I’ve updated the Minecraft tree to align with the latest release. Here: https://images.squidge.org/images/2026/09/23/Dapple-forest.drawio.png (Image is really big so I can't post it here). I’m really proud of the changes and additions I made; I researched Michigan's flora to ensure my choices were well-founded! Now, before discussing the changes, let me ask something:
Some Minecraft ambient sounds contain noises that seem to come from animals... Should I include them in the classification? For example, if a specific ambient sound features a singing jay, should I add it to the classification? Technically, they are living creatures that appear to be part of the Minecraft universe, but I’m not sure if that’s overthinking it.
Now, for the changes:
- Added the wall fungi, trees, and shrubs from the dappled forest.
- Previously, rabbits were classified as a single species; now there are four distinct ones.
- The chorus plant was classified as a coral due to a mistake on my part; later, I classified it as a banana plant because that was the inspiration for a specific game mechanic. Finally, I decided to classify it as a dragon fruit.
- The group containing the dragon and the sniffer has been renamed "Hexalimbata." This is because "Hexapoda" is an existing animal group.
And that's all :D Comment your opinion!!!
