This Rocks!
by Motschen
This Rocks! places small rocks, sticks, pinecones, seashells, starfish and geysers into generated terrain so worlds look less bare.
What it does
Breaking a rock yields a splitter item that crafts into the matching block, with the gravel rock dropping flint instead. Sticks give ordinary sticks, pinecones give spruce saplings, seashells occasionally yield Nautilus Shells, and starfish drop a decorative starfish block.
Geysers activate when a player walks close to them. Overworld geysers launch the player upward, while Nether geysers deal fire damage. Creative mode lets a player cycle through the states of each block to inspect them.
The mod requires Fabric API and MidnightLib. It is open source under the MIT License and runs with the server required and the client optional. Builds cover 1.16.2 – 26.2 on Fabric and Quilt, and snapshot builds are published as well. A Forge port exists, linked from the author's page.

Rock splitters
Breaking a rock drops a splitter that crafts into the block it came from, so the props can be placed again.
Gravel rock flint drop
The gravel rock is the exception to the splitter rule and drops flint when broken.
Geysers with two effects
Overworld geysers boost the player upward when approached, and Nether geysers burn anyone who comes close.

What the author says
This Rocks! adds little rocks, sticks, pinecones, seashells, starfish, and geysers to your minecraft world to make it feel more natural. You can break a rock to get splitters that you can craft into their respective blocks, except for the gravel rock, which drops flint.
