This pack changes the growth rules so you can plant grasses and flowers directly on sand and snow blocks. Plants and saplings can also grow there. You can green up a beach, decorate a desert base or plant a garden in a tundra without hauling in dirt.
Planting on sand or snow
1. Pick up grass, flowers or saplings. Shears collect grass, and flowers and saplings can be picked up normally.
2. Stand on a sand or snow block and right-click its top face with the plant, the same way you would on dirt.
3. For saplings, leave open space above them and keep the area lit so they can grow. Use bone meal if you want to speed things up.
4. Mix flowers and grass across sand to turn bare beaches and Oases into gardens.
Special sapling growth
The pack also adds special growth rules that let specific saplings grow into Jungle Bushes and Swamp Oaks. Which saplings and conditions trigger this is not listed here. To find out:
- Plant several kinds of saplings in a test plot.
- Try different ground blocks (sand, snow, grass) and biomes, including swampy and jungle areas.
- Grow them with bone meal and note which combination gives a bush or a swamp oak.
Keep a sign next to each test sapling so you remember what you tried.
