What it does

Bayou Blues generates a new swamp biome inspired by the swamps of Florida. Its foliage includes cypress trees, beard moss, algae and gooseberry bushes, and lily flowers grow on lily pads. Blossom Woods and other areas gain bayou slabfish and lily flower generation as well.

Bayou Blues also adds a Cypress woodset with its own blocks, a Cypress beehive and buzzier bees, which the mod compatibility with Algae, Thatch, Vertical Slab and Gooseberry Sacks covers. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is released for Forge only, with files for 1.16.5 and 1.0.5 as the latest file from 2023-05-11, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
