old yellow flower
Old Yellow Flower restores a flower from early Minecraft versions, which generates naturally in the Overworld alongside Dandelions and Golden Dandelions.
What it does
The mod adds the original Yellow Flower from the earliest Minecraft releases to newly generated Overworld terrain. It grows next to the vanilla Dandelion and Golden Dandelion, so a world has a yellow flower of the classic kind without any manual placement. The flower is meant to bring back a piece of Minecraft history that was dropped from later versions.
Because it is a world generation mod, it affects terrain that generates after installation, while existing chunks keep their current flowers. Installation needs Fabric or Forge, and the flower works in single-player and on multiplayer servers. Files are published for Fabric 26.1.2 and Forge 1.20.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
