Tropicalia
by sr_steve
Tropicalia is a NeoForge world generation mod that adds palm trees and coconut-based items to beaches and deserts, aiming to build on the tropical features already in the game.
What it does
Palm trees generate on beaches and in deserts, though less often than the vanilla trees they sit alongside. Each tree has a custom, skinnier log model meant to resemble a real palm, and its crown uses a new leaf pattern that covers the wood set's main block. Breaking a palm leaves block eventually grows palm leaves, and a player who collects the filled cracked coconut with Silk Touch gets a nutritious food item.
Coconut items form a small chain. Eating a filled cracked coconut leaves a cracked coconut, which players turn into a throwable coconut by crafting. A thrown coconut flies as a projectile, knocks an enemy back and deals a small amount of damage. The mod is in Beta 1 and still under development, and the author describes the main focus as building out tropical vibes with new features added along the existing ones.

Unfortunately, I used a PC…
