Strange Plants 2
by Pawofthewild
Strange Plants 2, a Forge and NeoForge mod by Pawofthewild, adds new decorative plants that change how biomes look while traveling.
What it does
The mod expands plant variety in the game with added decorative plants, and some of them also serve as food materials or as the basis of weapons. Its plant garden blocks, new foods and new weapons extend the natural side of the game without changing core mechanics. Each plant is placed in the world by the mod's generation rules, so biomes feel more distinct when crossed.
The author describes it as a sequel and remake of the earlier Strange Plants mod, with fewer incomplete features and a focus on refinement. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.8, and the environment is client and server, so servers and players both need it. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Better Combat is listed as compatible. Strange Plants 2 is first published on 2024-08-05 and last updated on 2026-02-13, and the author states that future updates will aim for higher quality.

Strange World targets the same loaders and 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved. Strange Plants 2 is limited to 1.20.1 and 1.21.8 files, so a 1.21.1 world needs one of the alternatives instead.
