Wild Flora

The mod places many unique plants into existing biomes. Some are purely decorative and others are functional, and the aim is landscapes that feel more immersive rather than plants that need complex crafting. Areca palms grow in jungles with tall slender stems and broad tropical fronds, and some show yellowing leaves and a peeled section of stem, so they look less uniform. Fan palms grow across jungle biomes, with fronds that take several clearly distinct shapes, so each plant looks slightly unlike the next.

Four new lichen varieties, named Silver, Black, Brown and Rust, appear throughout old growth taiga biomes. Bracken ferns form dense patches of undergrowth in forested biomes, and walking through them slows movement slightly, a effect that can be changed in the config file. Sedges line rivers, some with flowers, and bushy lavender patches are scattered across plains. Large kelp grows in groves in shallower lukewarm oceans.

Monsteras grow in jungle biomes and need a block behind them to climb upward. They can be harvested with shears, and right-clicking them with shears stops their growth. A very rare variegated variant appears at a chance of 0.0005% and grows only from its own plant, with variegated leaves that grow much slower. Welwitschias are a desert plant and the only species in their genus, and trumpet plants grow on jungle vines and collect rainwater even underneath their leaves. Frogs use some of these plants as shelter during the day.
