FabricClient and serverApache License 2.0Open source1.20.1

What it does

Cattails generate naturally in swamps, rivers and forests. A player can harvest a cattail to obtain cattail seeds. A seed planted on a water block one block deep grows into a cattail, so cattails can be grown anywhere that has that water. Cattails can also be crafted, and the mod adds reeds as a resource item and brown dye as a crafting result.

Thatch blocks are the building material of the mod, and each comes with slab and stair variants for roofs and walls. The mod suits survival worlds and building projects that stay close to the vanilla look. It runs on the client and on the server, so both need the mod for its content to work for every player. It requires Fabric API and is released under the Apache License 2.0 as open source. Builds are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 1.0 as the latest file, dated 2025-09-17.

Key features

  1. Cattail generation

    Cattails spawn in swamps, rivers and forests, so the plant appears in ordinary exploration without any seeds.

  2. Cattail seeds

    Harvesting a cattail yields cattail seeds, which are the only way to grow new cattails in a planted spot.

  3. Planting on water

    A seed set on water one block deep grows a cattail, which lets the plant spread to new water surfaces.

  4. Reeds and brown dye

    Reeds are a resource item from the cattail, and brown dye is one of the items that can be crafted from it.

  5. Thatch building blocks

    Thatch blocks come with slab and stair variants, giving roofs and walls a matching set of shapes.
