BlockyBushes
by Andriyko69
BlockyBushes replaces vanilla sweet berry bushes with full-block bushes that grow through a stem stage and can be harvested with a right-click, without breaking them.
What it does
The mod changes how berry bushes look and behave in the world. Instead of the vanilla small plant, each bush fills a full block and passes through a stem growth stage before it yields berries. Players right-click a ripe bush to collect the fruit while the plant stays in place, so it can regrow.
Bushes also appear in newly generated terrain through world generation support, so a world gains them as it is explored. The author describes the aim as making berry bushes feel more natural while keeping vanilla mechanics simple. The design takes inspiration from the berry bushes of Aether, and the code and assets are an independent implementation written for vanilla gameplay.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, on 1.21.1, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the source code is open source and public. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Full-block bushes
Berry bushes occupy a whole block instead of the small vanilla plant, giving them a more solid look.
Stem growth stage
Each bush passes through a stem stage before it bears berries, so growth can be seen over time.
Right-click harvesting
A ripe bush is harvested with a right-click, and the plant remains so it can produce berries again.
Natural placement
Bushes generate in new terrain, so players find them while exploring instead of planting them by hand.
