Greeneries
by Player005
Greeneries adds grass and fern variants to the world, extending the flora that Minecraft already generates in the overworld.
What it does
The mod introduces new grass and fern plants that sit alongside the vanilla ones, keeping their look and placement close to the original style. Among the additions are Red Fescue, Common Bent Grass, Blue Grass, Royal Fern and Eagle Fern, each in several sizes. The aim is to break up the uniform grassland that default terrain produces, adding depth and variety to landscapes without changing how the plants behave.
Many of the new plants follow the same growth and placement rules as vanilla grass and ferns, so they do not crowd out existing features. Each new plant is a regular item, which keeps the inventory tidy and the gameplay unchanged. Greeneries is published for Fabric and NeoForge across the 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 span, and it is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so it is not open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Grass variants
Red Fescue, Common Bent Grass and Blue Grass add new grass types that spawn in the wild.
Fern variants
Royal Fern and Eagle Fern extend the fern family, with several sizes for each plant.
Size variants
Grass and fern plants come in multiple sizes, so the ground does not repeat one shape.
Vanilla-style growth
New plants follow the same growth and placement logic as the vanilla grass and ferns they resemble.
