Painted in Roses
by RoyalRot8ion
Painted in Roses brings the rose back into play, letting players craft rose-themed weapons, tools and ink items on NeoForge.
What it does
Painted in Roses adds roses as a crafting material for weapons and tools. Players gather roses in most biomes, cover them, and use them to make red dye and tainted roses. A tainted rose can be used as an alternative rose when crafting many ink parts, which leads to tainted ink and rose ink.
The new weapons are built for combat and utility, and the mod is greatly inspired by RAT's Defile Arsenal. Some items use the rose altar, where gold and iron tier swords, pickaxes and chestplates are made. A block placed in the world slows entities that walk across it.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.8 only, from the 1.0.0 file published on 2026-03-01. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Both the server and every player need it, and it was first published on 2026-01-17.
