Foraging Ash Fruit and Uncovering Buried Resources

Beyond hostile encounters, the Charred Forest hides useful flora and passive wildlife. Exploring carefully lets you gain fire protection and dig up rare materials hidden beneath the surface layer of ash.

Harvesting the Elusive Ash Plant

As you travel through the grayscale terrain, scan the ground carefully for the ash plant. It is an elusive piece of flora that blends into the bleak environment, so take your time searching around tree bases and clearings while wearing a mask to stay safe from the polluted air.

When you find a mature ash plant, harvest its fruit. Used properly—either consumed directly or prepared according to the mod's recipes—this fruit grants Fire Resistance, giving you a reliable source of fire protection without needing to hunt Magma Cubes in the Nether.

Feeding Curious Creatures to Find Rare Loot

Not every gray-and-black mob with orange spots is out to kill you. Curious, non-hostile creatures also roam the forest floor and hide high up in the charred trees. Remember to look upward into the branches when walking through dense woods so you do not miss them.

Instead of attacking these creatures, hold fruit in your hand and feed it to them. Once fed the right fruit, the creature will search the ground and uncover rare resources buried beneath the blanket of ash. Collect the dug-up items quickly and keep extra fruit in your inventory so you can repeat the process whenever you spot another creature.
