How to Find and Harvest Lichen for Building

Locating Lichen in Old Growth Taigas

Lichen grows naturally in old growth taiga biomes and comes in four distinct color variants: silver, black, brown, and rust. These colors allow you to choose the perfect shade for your building projects. Search old growth taigas thoroughly—lichen spreads across the forest floor and on tree trunks.

Harvesting and Using Lichen

Break lichen blocks with any tool or your hand. They drop as collectible blocks that you can place anywhere in your builds. Since lichen comes in multiple colors, you can mix and match variants to create natural-looking textures, weathered stone effects, or decorative patterns on walls and floors.

Lichen works well for:

• Creating aged or mossy stone textures
• Adding detail to fantasy structures
• Building natural forest floors
• Texturing castle walls or ruins

Collect lichen in bulk by exploring large old growth taiga areas. The blocks are stackable, so you can gather significant quantities for large building projects without worrying about inventory space.
