Madoku Craft: Ecosystem
by Monkeyopolis
Madoku Craft: Ecosystem changes the terrain of a world over time, with sand eroding along shorelines, foliage spreading and leaf litter collecting under trees.
What it does
Trees and foliage start to grow naturally as time passes, and certain biomes grow flowers. Grass spreads foliage where it is present, and cactus and dry foliage appear in the biomes that suit them. Tree leaves decay and leave leaf litter on the ground beneath them, while certain blocks near water erode sand along shorelines.
The mechanics are adjustable through configuration files, which the mod reads from the standard config folder. The mod requires Fabric API and Madoku Craft: Core, and Madoku Craft: Ecosystem runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.21.11 – 26.3 on Fabric, with files for 26.3 published on 2026-10-13, and the code is not open source, though public links to the source code exist.
Key features
Shoreline sand erosion
Certain blocks next to water slowly wear sand away, reshaping beaches and shorelines as the world ages.
Leaf litter from decaying leaves
Tree leaves that decay leave leaf litter on the ground below the tree, adding ground cover over time.
Biome-based flowers and foliage
Flowers appear in certain biomes, while trees, foliage and cactus spread through the biomes that suit them.
Configurable mechanics
The terrain changes can be tuned through config files, so the server owner decides how fast or how far the changes go.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want a world that shifts over time instead of staying fixed, and server owners who want to control how that change plays out through configuration.
How it compares
Podzol Litter is server-side only and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, with files for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11. Less Leaf Litter (LLL) is a server-side option for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, licensed under All rights reserved, with builds for 1.21.5 – 1.21.10. Madoku Craft: Ecosystem is client and server, unlike those two, and it adds shoreline erosion and foliage growth rather than leaf litter alone.
