Wetness protection from trees


Recommended Posts

Which trees provide wetness protection, at what growth stage, and how much?

The Wiki says, "The rate of wetness buildup can also be decreased by 35% by standing under a Tree (including Birchnut Trees)."  Twiggy trees do not seem to provide wetness protection.  What about Birchnut trees in winter?  Young pine trees?  Mushtrees?  Spiky trees?  Totally Normal Trees?  I had some trouble finding this in the code.  It might have to do with `raindome` size which is set in a file of constants somewhere, or `rainimmunity` or something.

Do these same trees provide the same level of sun protection?

My go-to when wet in an emergency is to find 2 pine or leafed-out birchnut trees just far enough apart so I don't burn myself, light one on fire and stand under the other.  Usually after donning a hat (football or grass) and hastily constructing a pretty parisol.  I'm wondering about the usefulness of a tree growing next to a fire pit and what kind of tree.

When I find the oasis, I often plant a tree next to the pond so I can stand under it when fishing in the summer.

I can't give you a surefire list, I'm playing modded minecraft and it would be a pain to close and reopen it. But I can tell you that theres a visual indicator as to if your character is being shaded by a tree - your character darkens slightly as if they're under shade when it happens. You could test this yourself ingame pretty easy. They will all provide the same amount of weather protection.

All trees provide the same amount, but there are things that prevent a tree from casting shade!

The most surefire way of knowing is if it has leaves, basically.

Twiggy, old, dead, burnt, Toadie's Sporecaps, Banana trees, and Totally Normal trees don't give shade.

However, the rest do!

Oh, and also, the Monkey Queen counts too.

Everyone's answers suggest that yes, shade and wetness protection go together.

Do deciduous trees cast shade / provide wetness protection in the winter (when they lose their leaves)?  I'm guessing they do and I could test it out.

I never expected the Monkey Queen!  Does she provide 35% wetness protection like everything else in the environment?  That's pretty cool!

I wonder if a sail casts a shadow that provides wetness protection?

Thanks for this great answer!
