Mushrooms and Caverns
by rngk
Mushrooms and Caverns adds a fungus-themed world generation layer, with new biomes, trees, ores, blocks and items built around mushrooms and glowing caves.
What it does
Near water, the Fungi Forest biome can appear as a new region with fungus trees and strange mushrooms, and the mod also adds underground caves filled with bioluminescent mushrooms and lush vegetation. Explorers may come across fruits and structures scattered through these areas. The mod is described as still in development, with more content planned for later Minecraft versions.
Its blocks and materials form the core of the content: Fungi Dirt and Fungi Grass for a new soil with an odd color, Fungi Wood for an aged wood in purple tones, glowing mushroom blocks and glowing sapphire blocks as a natural light source, and a rare Glowing Sapphire Ore. The ore is used for crafting new tools, armor and gear, and the Fungi Stick supports tools and blocks built from thin, bendable sticks. Mushrooms and Caverns requires Fabric API and TerraBlender, and it runs on Fabric only. Builds cover 1.20.4 – 26.2, and the latest file is 0.1.1-26.2 for 26.2 on the beta channel. The code is under the MIT License and is open source. Client and server both need the mod.
