Wild Flora

Areca and Fan Palms

Areca palms appear in jungles and have tall, slender stems with broad tropical fronds.

Some generate with yellowing leaves or a peeled section of the stem, adding variation that makes them look less uniform and more natural.

Fan palms also appear throughout jungle biomes. Their fronds come in several noticeably different forms, giving each plant a slightly unique shape.

Colorful Lichens

Four new varieties of lichen appear throughout old growth taiga biomes, each with its own color: Silver, Black, Brown and Rust. These lichens are especially useful as decorative blocks for texturing builds!

Bracken Ferns

Bracken ferns grow across forested biomes, forming dense patches of undergrowth. Walking through them slows movement slightly, although it can be configurable via config file!

Sedge

Sedges grow along rivers, and some of them generate with flowers as you can see in the images.

Lavender

Bushy lavender patches can be found scattered throughout plains biomes, and is a large bushy flower unlike anything in vanilla.

Large Kelp

Large kelp can be found in large groves in shallower lukewarm oceans!

Monstera

Monsteras can be found in jungle type biomes and are a climbing plant that need a block (or another monstera) behind them in order to grow upwards. They are harvested with shears or silk touch and can be right-clicked with shears to stop their growth. There is an extremely rare chance (0.0005%) that it will grow into a variegated variant, which can then be harvested as its own plant and will only grow variegated leaves (although much slower as it lacks chlorophyll!) This is for all the plant collectors out there. There is a great randomness in leaves here, allowing each plant to look unique.

Epiphytes (Bromeliad, Fiddle Leaf and Basket Fern)

Epiphyte type plants that grows on tree trunks as well as the ground, is naturally found in jungles. Can be placed on all sides of the blocks.

Welwitschia

Welwitschias are a unique looking desert plant, the only species in its genus.

Trumpet Plant

Trumpet plants grow on unique jungle vines. They will collect water when it rains (even underneath leaves) like a cauldron, and can be filled up/emptied to more easily get water. Additionally, frogs love to use these plants as houses, and will like to sleep there during the day.

Moonbloom

Moonblooms are a fantasy flower that appears uncommonly in dark forests. It's an unassuming plant until night time, when it blooms with an intensity that depends on the moon cycle.

Mimosa Pudica

This jungle plant responds to stimuli, closing up when entities walk over it applying a slowness effect. This can be a quite useful mechanic to get away from hostile mobs or players, as running through them won't slow you but will slow down whatever is chasing you.

Collector's Flower

These flowers are large, and each one is unique! Yes you heard that right. You will likely never find two that are completely identical, making it the dream plant for collectors! They will have unique petal and leaf shapes as well as unique color combinations! Not all of them are pretty so it's up to you to find ones that suit your needs. Once you find a variation you like, you can bone meal it to make more of that specific one, and share it with your friends.

Saguaro Cactus

A tall cactus appearing in uncommon but large colonies in the desert. Is modular, and can grow pretty flowers that will grow new cacti when bone mealed on sand. The cactus tops can also be bone mealed to grow flowers.

Balloon Cactus

A small cactus appearing alongside the saguaro that can be stacked up to three times within one block. Only prickles the entity when they traverse through it rather than when just making contact. Mobs tend to avoid this one like the plague.

Angel Wing Cactus

A rather strange looking cactus that makes you feel equally strange when prickled. Appears in uncommon clusters in the desert biome, giving nausea to whoever it comes in contact with.

Bassia Bush

An unassuming dry bush appearing commonly throughout the drier biomes, but spiders love to take cover here from the hot desert sun during the day. Be sure to not disturb them. *You can add more mobs that take shelter in this plant via datapack

Fern Cane

A bamboo-like plant growing in large clusters in the savanna biomes.

Tree Fern

A less common savanna type plant, can grow quite tall with bonemeal but not naturally.

Mulch

A new soil type that is found in jungle type biomes. Can grow mushrooms without the need for darkness. Gives a much needed new ground cover to jungles, and is a pretty landscape building block.

Aerial Roots

Aerial roots come in a modular spreading root system, appearing in jungles from jungle logs.  There's also an aerial root bush that appears in jungles under the tree crowns as well as mangrove swamps under mangrove roots. These give a more wild silhouette to the jungles!

Thorn Roots

These thorns are modular, twisting in strange wild shapes inside the dark forest biomes. Will grow wild random shapes with bonemeal too. Wearing leather reduces the damage taken from these thorns, and full leather armor blocks the damage completely. Mobs tend to avoid these plants, except arthropods that don't take damage from them. These can also be tipped with potions adding the effect to that thorn block, allowing you meanies to set up awful traps (send me videos).

Hemlock

Hemlock is a poisonous plant that doesn't do much by itself, but you can drain its poison with an empty bottle (will kill the plant though).  This gives the player a primitive way of getting poison potions (without the Nether), which goes perfectly with tipping the thorn roots.

Mandrake

Mandrakes are fun little plants with a lot of personality. They do not like you (sorry) and will scream and get away when you get close. Even looking at them makes them flinch. They will occasionally rest and bury their body underground, which is the only time you can collect them! But you need to sneak up to them as to not wake them up of course. Collecting and eating the root heals the player like a basic health potion. These can't be grown with bone meal as they are complex organisms, and can only reproduce themselves on mulch.

Wolfsbane

Wolfsbane is a rare taiga flower that comes in a purple as well as an even more rare red color. Wolves fear purple wolfsbane and will run away from it, giving the possibility to protect a sheep pen in style. Red wolfsbane has an awful rare mutation making nearby wolves go feral instead, can't be duplicated with bonemeal.
