Mushrooms & Mycelium
by TinyTaru
Mushrooms & Mycelium adds a new mushroom type, the oyster mushroom, along with a mushroom leather material and a mushroom growing system for Fabric.
What it does
Oyster mushrooms generate in forests, and mushroom leather is crafted by placing three oyster mushrooms on a crafting table. Mushroom leather can stand in for normal leather in almost every recipe, and armor can be made from it by combining string and mushroom leather. Puffball mushrooms are included as well.
The mod is an expansion for survival and adventure play, adding a growing system for mushrooms alongside the new leather material. The author marks the project as an unfinished beta, and a Coming Soon section in the description points to content still in development.
It is published for Fabric only, on 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, with the 1.0.0 beta file targeting 1.20.4. Mushrooms & Mycelium runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Oyster mushrooms in forests
Oyster mushrooms generate naturally in forest biomes, giving players a new food and crafting source.
Mushroom leather
Three oyster mushrooms placed on a crafting table produce mushroom leather, a material used in place of normal leather.
Mushroom leather armor
Armor is crafted by combining string with mushroom leather in the same recipe pattern as leather armor.
Puffball mushrooms
Puffball mushrooms are added as a second mushroom type alongside the oyster variety.
Mushroom growing system
A growing mechanic lets players cultivate the new mushrooms rather than only gathering them in the wild.
