🌲 World Generation 🌲

 

🌱 General World Gen 🌱

Shorter grass, Sprouts, Tall Sprout, Clovers and Tall Bush will generate everywhere in the world where they have a valid placement condition. Tall Sprouts and Clovers can be placed on sand, but will generate less.

🌳 Birch Forest Improvements 🌳

The Birch Forest and Old Growth Birch Forest have received improvements:

  • Oxeye daisies and Dandelions will now generate to complement the color of the newly-added Wild flowers.
  • Wall Mushrooms will now generate on the side of trees (Also generates in Dark Forests and Swamps). Can be crafted with 3 Brown Mushrooms placed individually in a crafting table (Crafting is shapeless).
  • Birch Stumps will now generate (Oak stumps generate in biomes with Oak trees)

🌸 Cherry Grove Improvements 🌸

  • No new blocks, but Poppies, Red tulips and Pink tulips will now generate in patches to break the mono-color feeling of the cherry grove.
  • Rose Bushes will additionally generate around trees

🌾 Swamp/Mangrove Swamp Improvements 🌾

  • Cattails will generate in water
  • Algea will generate in the water. Algea allows you to place blocks AND plants on top of them, allowing you to place plants on water.

🌵 Desert/Badlands Improvements 🌵

  • Small Cactuses will now generate. Small cactuses HEAVILY slow down entities that come in contact with them, while pricking them at the same time.
  • Tumbleweed will generate. Tumbleweed slightly slows down and lowers the jump height of entities inside of it (The same goes for the Tall Bush)

🌿 Sparse Jungle/Jungle/Bamboo Jungle Improvements 🌿

  • Blue, Pink and Purple Butterfly Flowers will generate. These flowers poison entities that come in contact with them.

❄️ Ice Spikes/Frozen Ocean Improvements ❄️

  • Icicles will generate on top and below blocks. Icicles act similarly to Pointed Dripstone.

🐾 Mobs 🐾

🐞 Ladybug 🐞

Ladybugs are a passive creature which spawns in Birch Forests, Old Growth Birch Forests, Flower Forests, Sunflower Plains and Cherry Groves and Meadows.

Ladybugs have a solid hitbox, meaning you can stand on them. When killed, they drop between 1 to 2 Ladybug Wings.

When a carnivorous plant eats an insect, it will drop between 1 to 3 slime balls. When carnivorous plants attack an entity, it will add a poison effect to it.  Carnivorous Plants are immune to poison 

Carnivorous Plants drop Carnivorous Plant Pods, which can be planted on any grass block or farmland, and will eventually grow into a new Carnivorous Plant. The crop has 3 stages, and can be locked making it unable to grow by using shears (To keep the 3 stages for decoration purposes)

The crop will generate in Jungles and Bamboo Jungles at stage 3.

🐉 Dragonfly 🐉

🦀 Hermit Crab 🦀

Hermit Crabs are passive creatures which spawn in Beaches and Mangrove Swamps. They can be bred with Raw cod, Raw salmon, Sugarcane and Mangrove propagules. When attacked, their shell will eventually break dropping a Nautilous Shell.

When without a shell, hermit crabs will run away from nearby players and dig into the ground. The Nautilous shell can be placed back onto the Hermit Crab to make it stop running away from you, OR you can give it a Decorated Pot instead of a shell, which has the same effect but is an effective way to farm Nautilous Shells.

When near a Playing Jukebox, Hermit Crabs will play a dancing animation as a reference to the old drab rave meme
