NOTE: NEW UPDATE IS OUT! This update finally allows saplings to grow into trees, but ONLY if bonemeal (or any other dye, for that matter) is used on them. Additionally, some of the trees have new schematics, making them look a bit more like their real-world counterparts.
There are no bizarre colors like bright pink, blue, or neon purple: the colors are meant to mimic real woods and trees. Each species includes a log, planks, leaves, and sapling. Additionally, 25 of each new wood type, as well as the 6 vanilla types and homogenized wood plank (made from 1 wood plank of each of the 6 vanilla woods) can be crafted into reinforced wood planks, which can be used as compact storage of wood, or a tougher building blocks.
Each of the 25 types of tree introduced are found in their own biome, but these biomes do not exist naturally in the Overworld, but rather, in their own dimension. This dimension can be accessed by stepping through a portal made of reinforced homogenized wood planks. The portal is lit with a riftcutter- a dagger that can be crafted with a blaze rod, 2 gold ingots, an iron ingot, and an eye of ender.
SUSTAINABILITY:
The saplings in this mod can be placed like blocks, but they will never grow into trees on their own. You have to use bonemeal on the saplings to make them grow.
Saplings are always dropped by leaves, and can be replicated by crafting a dead bush, a bonemeal, and any sapling to produce two of the sapling used.

FUTURE VERSIONS
I will not be making any more changes. I have given the mod to another MCreator user, and once they have published a new version, I will add a link to that mod.
