Plants&Junk
by Jaiz
Plants&Junk brings new plant species, a rotten wood type and small wildlife such as butterflies and fireflies into newly generated terrain.
What it does
The mod adds new biome generation, along with new tree shapes that grow branches and new ground-cover plants. Several plants are included, such as shelf mushrooms and calla lilies, and the terrain gains plant cover on the ground and between trees. A rotten wood type is added alongside the new trees for building and decoration.
Four new entities appear in the world: butterflies, caterpillars, fireflies and dragonflies. Together with the plants and ambient effects, they are meant to make the natural landscape feel more lived in. Plants&Junk requires Fabric and is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds cover 1.20.4 – 1.21.1, with the latest Fabric file for 1.21.1 released on 2024-10-07.
