More Spring to Life
by PiosoPlump
More Spring to Life adds new plants, animals and a crab-claw tool to birch forests, swamps, badlands, deserts and savannas on NeoForge 1.21.5.
What it does
Across several biomes the mod introduces new flora and fauna with interactive behavior. Red and brown shelf mushrooms grow on birch trees, a tall white flower appears in forests, and a flowered lilypad spawns on swamp water with thin aquatic layers covering the surface. A mischievous creature is drawn to glowing berries and will sneak items out of nearby chests, but returning the favorite food to it recovers them.
The additions cover desert and badlands plants too. A prickly pear cactus appears in two forms, and bone meal, shears and its fruit can be used to harvest it. A blue crustacean feeds tropical fish, and its claw can be sheared off and regrows over time. The crab claw itself is a held item that extends build and break reach by two blocks in either hand.
The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The only published files are NeoForge builds for 1.21.5, with 1.0.0 dated 2025-06-15 as the latest.
