Ornamental Plants
Players exploring a world with Ornamental Plants find Eastern-style flowering and foliage trees, flowers and a large set of new biomes.
What it does
Ornamental Plants adds trees, plants and fifty-two biomes themed on botanical decoration, drawn from classic ornamental plants native to China. The tree set includes flowering types such as Mei, Crabapple and Peach, and foliage types such as Ginkgo and Chinese Parasol. Plants include Chinese Rose, Herbaceous Peony, Camellia and Lotus, and the mod also adds nine structures.
Holding shears in the main hand and a flower in the off-hand, then right-clicking, yields a cut flower from the matching plant, so Herbaceous Peony and Chinese Rose can be turned into decoration. Ziying Fox, a tameable mob, spawns in Ziying Caves, and Golden Miscanthus smelts 18 items as a new fuel. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Forge and NeoForge with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. TerraBlender is an optional dependency that the mod can use for biome placement.
