Earth Flora

Intro to Earth Flora

Earth is an incredibly diverse planet when it comes to flora. Unlike in vanilla Minecraft--Plants in TerraFirmaGreg spawn based on local Climate Conditions.

Plants may be difficult to find during some Seasons as they go through cycles of flowering and laying dormant, or changing color as the local temperature changes.

Colorful flowers can typically be crushed in a Quern for Dye. While some plants can be used for making medicine or meals.

Short grass blocks grow taller with age. They also are able to grow on peat and mud.

Tall Grass

Tall grass blocks are just tall enough to block your field of view.

Vines

Vine blocks spread around the world on their own, if it's warm enough.

Weeping Vines

Weeping vines grow downward from an anchoring block.

Twisting Vines

Twisting vines twist upward from the Earth. They can come in a solid variant.

Aquatic Plants

Aquatic plants are restricted to either spawn in fresh or salty water. Otherwise, they grow and act much like the plants you see on the surface. Some water plants can be cooked for food.

Medicinal Plants

Many plants in TerraFirmaGreg hold medicinal value and can be used for creating phytotherapeutic medicine. You can combine these ingredients in a mixing bowl with wax, binders, and spring water to make pills. Or more advanced medications.

Spices

With Firmalife, there are a number of small plants you can collect and grow on your own, which have cooking properties. They can all be found in the wild, and once harvested, may be cultivated in a Greenhouse, in which they consume 20 points of N, P, and K.

Butterfly Grass

Eine Schmetterlingsgraspflanze.

Butterfly grass will mature over time. When one reaches maturity, it has a chance to spread to surrounding blocks, or turn into something new. Butterfly grass blocks that have been spread by another grass block do not spread anymore.
After Butterfly grass turns into another grass, you can pick them up with Shears.
