Make Your Swamp Look More Natural with Lily Pad Flowers

Finding Wild Lily Pads

Lily pads spawn naturally in swamps, rivers, and other water biomes. With Better Foliage installed, these pads now display small 3D blossoms on their surface. The flowers appear in eight different color variations—Light Blue, Magenta, Orange, Pink, Red, White, and more—giving each lily pad unique visual character.

What You'll See

When you explore water bodies, lily pads will no longer look flat and plain. Instead, each one features a delicate 3D flower bloom sitting on top. This happens automatically; no crafting or placement is needed. The variety of colors means your swamp won't feel repetitive, even when lily pads cluster together.

Tips for Building

If you're designing a swamp garden or pond, consider harvesting lily pads and replanting them in decorative arrangements. The 3D flowers will still display, creating a natural-looking water garden. Mix different colored blooms for visual interest. The effect works best when viewed from above or at water level, where the flower details are most visible.
