The permissions here specify Scott or Mr. Fibre as having permission to modify. With both of them having retired, does that mean EBXL no longer has permission to use FN assets? On the one hand, that saddens me, because I'd really like to see some of my favourite trees carried on. On the other hand, the main reason to use biome mods like EBXL is the aesthetics, and a lot of their newer art assets don't look as good as the old one.
Really, I just wish the creator would give permission for someone else to update FN.
Scott is not retired and Mr Fiber gave EBXL to me when he retired (although I consider it to belong to the team, my name is just on the OP as you can only have one). Scott rejoined the team some time ago. We will be adding most of the trees from FN...as soon as MC stops requiring us to rewrite the mod every time they release a new version. Which of the newer things do you think don't look as good as the old?

A lot of the trees seem to have very flat textures, to me. Particularly the Autumn Trees don't look as good to me. Even a lot of the other ones, though, the grain on the planks seems to clash a bit with the vanilla textures.

I think it's mostly a matter of personal preference. To me the autumn wood trees are much better than the old ones. The previous ones seemed very drab and faded and not at all what trees in the autumn look like in many places. All of the trees we use have were vanilla trees (very boring), just placed in our biomes...except the autumn woods, which were oak trees with different color leaves. Then the fir and redwood trees from Scott's Bunyan add on were added into the mod. All in all I am pleased with the new trees we've added and other than some minor tweaks here and there to some generation and color and texture, I'm proud of what the guys have done.
Its getting hard to keep waiting for this mod to update, and It has been holding my server back since june last year. if anyone still has the source code for this mod. I will do a 1.6.4 port myself. Even though I already use EBXL on my modpack/server, this mod adds so much. New glass textures, colored wood, planks, and fences, the crystal trees are some amazing stuff, custom rocks (which i usually disable), and the crops are the main thing i want out of this. And Its fun building tree houses with some of the giant redwoods. I really miss this mod and It doesnt seem anyone is maintaining it at all anymore.
If you know someone who has the source code or a way to get it, I might be able to help this mod continue for 1.6.4, and 1.7.2 and 1.7.10. Please let me know if you find someone who wants to help revive this mod from the dead.

I can contact Nightshade, but unless he gives permission, I don't feel comfortable making the code open source. It will require a lot of rewriting as so much has changed in MC as well as version updates, which is one of the reasons it has taken so long to get it implemented. We have added the redwood tree that the poster before you mentioned and do have plans to add back in almost everything except some of the tools. We also will be making an announcement in the near future about the new direction that EBXL will be taking.
We are back down to one coder on EBXL, who also works and has a family, so if anyone is interested in helping move the project forward, we are always looking for coders.
Currently I am compiling a list of developers who can help maintain a massive forgebukkit server and I plan to have 3-4 java coders by the end of the month. While I cannot fully help you maintain EBXL, I can however deal with porting for updates and downporting for older versions of existing mods If i manage to get this team of coders soon. This isn't the only mod that I cannot use with my server currently for either being too old or too new.
The biggest problem with using forgebukkit is it was discontinued after 1.7.2 and the 1.7.2 builds are highly unstable, so i am truely stuck with 1.6.4. If you manage to get ahold of nightshade, let me know. I have used this mod ever since the golden days of 1.2.5 and I do not wish for it to die.
p.s. about the merging with EBXL, that was announced over a year ago and I do look forward to a full merge (a couple of tools don't really matter) but with my servers release planned soon, I cannot afford to wait around any longer.
This has been my favorite mod over the years. Has anyone brought it forward to the most recent version of minecraft? I don't know anything about modding, but is there anything I can do? I'd love to be able to play with this mod again. I used to be able to run it with Minecraft Comes Alive and that was very awesome.

When I'm not writing, editing or publishing, I'm minecrafting.
plz update it to 1.7.10 plz pzl i want this mod i miss it so much dont let a other good mod die as like more creeps and wierdos one of the best mod died there and i dont want this mod to die to
I'm another one who misses this mod greatly. I was very hopeful when I heard the EXBL team were going to take it on but... yeah.
It really is a great thing to have it updated for 1.6.4 so, instead of me joining the chorus in baying for a 1.7.10 version, I might just thank you for your work and go play it in 1.6.4

Hm, a little birdie told me that the mod owner is making an official update to 1.7.10 as we speak.
Not sure how reliable that source is though. I'll leave all of you to decide.
It might help if the mod owner himself made this post >.>
If anyone still cares:
Know that I'm still working on it. Will just take some time.

Curse PremiumWell look who's back! Howdy stranger!
Long time no see, Scott! Nice to see you're still around.
Still working on the conversion. Not in the bug fixing phase yet....
Likely won't be coding today. On call and I've been up for 24hrs. Time for some zs
