Expanded Nature
by benl4b
Expanded Nature plants more bushes into the world for players on NeoForge 1.21.1, and the content is still in an early state.
What it does
The core mod adds extra bushes to the world, extending what the vanilla plant set offers. Plants of this kind are generated naturally and can be obtained through normal adventure and survival play. Client and server both need it, so players and the server run the same content. The mod is published for NeoForge only, on 1.21.1.
Key features
Extra bushes
Additional bush plants are generated in natural terrain, adding variety to outdoor landscapes.
Obtainable through play
The added plants can be gathered during adventure and survival, without creative tools.
Early development
The mod is at an early stage, and extension mods built on it are announced as coming soon.

Lumen Wild is another NeoForge option for nature content, released under the MIT License and covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, so it reaches more game versions than this mod. Back To Nature targets 1.21.8 only and is also MIT licensed, with the same client and server environment.

What the author says
Without the expanded nature extension mods (coming soon!), the plants will not be generated naturally or can be obtained in adventure/survival mode. In the non-extended core mod, the plants will not have any special features besides some vanilla functions (bees, walkthrough, etc.). Currently, this mod is in an early…
