Hendrix's Better Spring to Life

by Minehendrix

Hendrix's Better Spring to Life adds hollow logs, firefly jars, leaf piles and snowy plants to the overworld, mostly in forests and biomes that lack ambient detail.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.5 – 26.3

What it does

Fallen trees gain hollow logs that generate in forest biomes beside regular fallen trees. Players can shift-right click a regular log to hollow it out, and hollow logs can be waterlogged. Red and brown mushrooms can be placed on the sides of logs, up to four of the same type per block.

Fireflies are caught with a glass bottle and stored in a Firefly Jar, up to five per jar. A Firefly Bush holds a random number of fireflies that reappear inside it at night. The mod also adds new ambient mobs and new two-block tall flowers that spawn in Old Growth Birch Forests. Snowy grass, snowy tall grass and snowy bushes appear in snowy biomes, and cacti can grow Prickly Pears that restore a fair amount of hunger.

The mod runs on Fabric for 26.3 and across 1.21.5 – 26.3 in ten release versions, and it is open source under the MIT License. It is published with source code, an issue tracker and a wiki. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must install it.

Key features

  1. Hollow logs

    Hollow logs generate with fallen trees in forests and can be made by shift-right clicking a regular log.

  2. Firefly jars

    Fireflies caught in a glass bottle can be stored in jars, and their light level depends on how many are inside.

  3. Firefly bushes

    Bushes hold a random amount of fireflies that return at night after being emptied.

  4. Leaf piles

    Leaf piles are crafted from leaves in the same way as snow layers and can be waterlogged.

  5. Snowy plants

    Snowy grass, snowy tall grass and snowy bushes spawn in snowy biomes and can be potted or smelted into dead bushes.

  6. Prickly pears

    Cacti in wooded badlands can grow prickly pears on top, which restore hunger when eaten.

What the author says

The Spring to Life Drop brings variety to the overworld by adding new mob variants and some nice ambient features, like fallen trees and wildflowers. These additions bring life to the overworld forests, however there are still some features that might be added which would fit the drop's theme...
