📋 About This Mod
Added: 2k and Ultra Performance versions for people concerned about size.
Description:
I've been waiting eagerly for the famed aedenthorn to implement the ability to make a custom texture for the Yggdrasil World Tree, and my wait is over.
These textures are pretty big. The texture for the tree itself are 4000 x 6016 and the texture for the "branches" is 2040 x 2905. Overall this texture set is 100mb. Partially this is because of my own lack of expertise in making textures, since this is my first texture mod Ive attempted. I could not get the moss texture to work properly without lots of random white space, even when I had the background set as transparent. I dont know why, but the only fix was to duplicate the MainTex and set it as the MossTex, so this adds about 35mb to the file. If someone has some advice on how to fix this problem, Im all ears.
The emissive color (the energy on the tree) is now set to just green and white. The emissive style (the energy patterns) are changed to fit the contours of the tree texture itself instead of just being lines on the tree. This gives the appearances that the tree itself is glowing from within along its bark/crevasses. If you want the original emissives or are using a texture pack like HD Textures and like theirs, just don't install the emissive texture files and the game will implement the original energy style and colors.
Installation:
Install BepInEx and Custom Textures 1. 8. 1 or higher. Then just drag and drop the texture files into your "Custom Textures" folder.
A compact texture mod that upgrades the Yggdrasil tree with 4K resolution textures and alters its emissive color and map. With 106 endorsements and 2,274 downloads, it's a niche visual enhancement for players who want a sharper, more vibrant tree. Last updated in March 2021, so compatibility with newer game versions is uncertain.
