Berry Good Mechanics

The mod introduces several quality-of-life mechanics that change how players interact with the environment and wildlife.

Planting Changes

In vanilla Minecraft, Sweet Berries and Glow Berries serve as both the food and the seed. Berry Good changes this by disabling the ability to plant raw berries. Players must now craft berries into Pips to start a farm. This prevents the common issue of accidentally placing a berry bush when the player intended to eat the berry.

Harvesting with Shears

Players can now use Shears to harvest mature Sweet Berry Bushes or Glow Berry Bushes. By right-clicking a fully grown bush with Shears, the player will receive the standard berry drop plus 1-2 additional berries. This makes Shears a valuable tool for large-scale berry farming.

Fox Interactions

Foxes, which naturally consume berries, have been updated to interact with the mod's new items. When a Fox eats berries from a bush, there is a small chance it will drop Pips on the ground, allowing players to collect seeds passively by observing wild foxes.

Consumption Drops

Eating a raw Sweet Berry or Glow Berry has a 5% chance to grant the player a corresponding Pip. This simulates the player "spitting out the seeds" while eating, providing a slow but steady way to gather planting materials without using a crafting table.
