Better Trees is a small XML-only addition that changes how woodcutting feels in 7 Days to Die. Instead of just gathering plain lumber, trees now have a chance to reveal extra resources hidden among their branches.
While chopping, survivors may stumble upon bird eggs, honey, mushrooms, or even a bit of bonus wood. These small surprises turn a routine task into something a bit more interesting and rewarding, especially during the early game when food and supplies are scarce.
This mod is built to feel like a natural extension of vanilla gameplay rather than a major overhaul. It's aimed at players who want subtle quality-of-life improvements without disrupting balance or compatibility with other mods.
Because it only touches tree loot tables through XML, it should work alongside most other mods and is safe to add to existing worlds, though starting fresh is always a good practice when installing new content.
