Herbal
by syfin_l
Herbal adds tea and flax to NeoForge worlds, with crops, a kettle for brewing tea into mugs, and effects that change the player.
What it does
Tea is a crop reworked to grow in three stages and needs farmland that receives light, while flax is a new crop that grows beside water. Flax can be processed into string, and rotten flesh can be turned into leather. Tea leaves are found in jungle biomes, and a kettle fills mugs with tea in the world, so brewing no longer needs a crafting table, although the table path is still present.
The base tea is sweet, and the mod's text points to a stronger tea that differs by sweetness and bitterness, tracked through an item tag. Growth can go backwards in some cases, and some corners are counted differently. The author describes Herbal as built for tea first, with more crops planned for later versions and a texture pack meant to be used alongside it. Tea effects grant different effects that change the player physically.
Herbal requires Set Overworld Nether Teas, which supplies the new crop needed to make tea. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is not open source. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for NeoForge on 12 release versions, covering 1.21 – 1.21.11.
