This mod spawns a plant in caves that when broken drops a cave root. When a cave root is eaten it provides the same hunger and saturation as a carrot and has a 75% chance to give the player haste 2 for 1 minute.

Torch Fungi:

The torch fungi also spawn in caves. When the torch fungi is broken it drops torch spores which can then be planted on fertile farmland. Spores emit a light level of 4 but eventually grow into fungi which emit a light level of 7 and can then be harvested for even more spores.

Dried Root:

The dried root also spawns in caves. When the dried root is broken it drops 1-2 sticks.
