banana fruit
by MoonStudio
Banana Fruit lets players grow banana trees, harvest bananas from them and eat or throw the fruit, adding a new tree variant to Minecraft.
What it does
The mod adds a banana tree that can be found in beach areas. Players harvest bananas from it, eat them, and can throw them. Peels drop as a byproduct, and the mod includes a banana wood type that is new to the game, so the tree's logs, planks and related blocks can be used in building.
Banana saplings are planted on the ground like other saplings, but the author notes that they do not always grow into a full tree. The banana tree is based on the acacia shape, and the author describes the current release as a beta. Client and server both need the mod, so the server and every player must install it. Banana Fruit is built on Forge for 1.20.1 and released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Model Gap Fix is an optional dependency that the author lists for the mod's models.
