Well, since my sky islands biome is not acceptable, ten how about this biome:

Petrified Forest- This biome would have trees that have wood that is like stone, instead of making planks with the wood, you would make Bricks out of the wood. The leaves would drop petrified saplings, and the objects would be Petrified wood & Petrified Wood Bricks, and they would also have Petrified Leaves.

EDIT: You would also be able to substitute Petrified wood to make Stone Tools, and Furnaces, this biome would be fairly uncommon, and you could run into different color variations of the wood, be, yellow, black, red, green, blue, red, pink, orange, brown, or gray. you would also be able to predetermine the color of the tree by using certain minerals or dyes on the sapling after you plant it, use coal or charcoal on it to for a black colored wood, use dyes to get the other colors(cocoa beans for brown). the bricks would also be colored based on the color of wood used. You would have to use a Pickaxe to get the wood to drop, nothing else would work. And of course the wood could not catch fire.

I like this idea! It sounds awesome!

Also, I found a bug: bonemeal doesn't work on any of the mod's saplings. The bonemeal doesn't get used up, nor doesw it ever have any effect. I tried to use the bonemeal 100 times each on every sapling from this mod just to be sure. It doesn't work at all.

BIOME



Old Forest
An ancient, dark forest engulfed by large, twisted trees, where spiders dwell and thrive.
Colors: Leaves and grass are of a very dull brownish green color, just as wood covered in mold. Water is pretty much the same color, while the sky is slightly darker and grayer than regular sky.
Terrain: Mostly flat, with no patches of sand or lava.
Vegetation: A lot of tall oak trees with canopies so large and thick they obscure the sky (if possible, the trees should be bigger than regular trees and their trunk should be twisted). No kind of tall grass or flowers here. More mushrooms than in regular forests, some thorns, ferns and vines. A few cobwebs here and there.
Mobs: only spiders, bats, silverfishes and dire wolves (see below) can spawn here. Pretty much as it happens in mineshafts, this biome generates some spider spawners surrounded by cobwebs; the spawners spawn regular Spiders, Cave Spiders or Spitting Spiders (see below).

MOBS



Spitting Spider
A light brown spider with a special attack: throwing a cobweb which sticks to the player's feet (as a regular cobweb block). Enjoy being unable to move while a giant bug eats your face.
Drop: strings, cobwebs.



Dire Wolf
A big, fiendish wolf. Always hostile, attacks any mob on sight including other monsters. Cannot be tamed.
Drop: leather, rotten flesh.

BLOCKS



Mossy Wood
Tree trunks in this biome are different from regular oak wood only for their grayish appearance and because some of them can act as Stone Monster Eggs i.e. spawning silverfishes when broken.
Crafting: It can be crafted into Oak Wood Slabs or Sticks, otherwise useful as decoration for making old shacks and things like that.



Mistletoe
This bush can spawn on the ground or attached to wood and leaf blocks.
Crafting: It can be crafted into Mistletoe Berries (see below).

ITEM



Mistletoe Berries
Berries crafted from a Mistletoe bush can be thrown at mobs to scare them, making them run away and assigning them the Weakness I effect.

Is there any way to get forestry beehives to generate in the biomes of this mod? As it is beekeeping isn't possible because of the fact that they don't generate.On a sidenote it seems that villages aren't generating either.
