Better Chorus Trees

by derexXD

Better Chorus Trees changes how chorus plants grow and how their flowers drop, so chorus can be farmed on purpose rather than only found in the End.

What it does

The mod changes two things about chorus. Naturally generated chorus trees are kept, and player-grown chorus plants are handled the same way, so both kinds work for building and harvesting. In vanilla Minecraft, chorus flowers stay in place when a stem is destroyed by hand, and they must be shot with an arrow or harvested by other means. Better Chorus Trees makes flowers act more like bamboo and sugarcane, so they fall off by themselves once their stem is gone.

The change applies to both the natural and the grown plants, which makes chorus a more practical crop for farms in the End. The mod is published as a server-required, client-optional mod, so the server must run it while players can join without installing it. Installation uses a datapack in a world's datapacks folder, followed by a reload in-game or reopening the world. The Data pack server platform is supported alongside Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

Key features

  1. Natural chorus trees

    Chorus trees that generate naturally in the End are included in the change.

  2. Player-grown plants

    Chorus plants that players grow on their own farms follow the same drop rules.

  3. Flowers drop on stem break

    Chorus flowers drop when the stem is broken, instead of requiring an arrow or a special tool.

  4. Bamboo-like behavior

    Flower handling matches how bamboo and sugarcane stems already drop their items when broken.

Use cases

Chorus farming

Players can build a chorus farm in the End and collect fruit by breaking the stems, without shooting flowers.

Server datapack setup

Server owners can add the change through a world datapack and apply it with a reload, without a loader-specific install.

Who it’s for: Players who farm chorus fruit in the End, and server owners who want chorus harvesting to work without extra steps.

What the author says

In vanilla Minecraft, chorus flowers don't break when their stem is destroyed, and you have to manually break them or shoot them with an arrow to harvest them. This datapack changes that. Better Chorus Flower Drops makes chorus flowers behave more intuitively similar to bamboo or sugarcane so that when the stem is…
