Interactive Foliage
by KartO
Interactive Foliage makes grass, flowers, crops and other plants move as players, mobs and thrown items pass through them.
What it does
Nearby vegetation pulls away from a player as they walk and gradually returns to its original position. Animals push plants aside in the same way, so forests, plains and farms look more alive. Thrown items also disturb nearby plants, adding small environmental details to the world.
The effect is drawn through Minecraft's own rendering pipeline rather than a shader pack, so it works with the vanilla renderer and most shader packs without visual configuration. It uses selective chunk updates and vertex deformation to animate plants. Fabric API and SWAY API are required, and Biomes o Plenty & Sway Addon depends on this mod.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
