Just Dandy

Overview

This mod adds fluffy dandelions to plains, oak forests, and meadows by default. Fluffy dandelions spawn gently bobbing seed particles when not in rain. Any entities moving through fluffy dandelions (projectiles, players, mobs) spawn greater concentrations of particles.

Using bone meal on a dandelion will cause it to grow into its fluffy variant. Pollinated bees can also turn dandelions fluffy, at the same rate as other pollinated crops.

Fluffy dandelions are somewhat delicate, so they can only be collected using shears (dropping a normal dandelion otherwise). 1.21+: Fluffy dandelions do not drop normal dandelions anymore, instead dropping nothing if broken without shears.

Config

You can alter the following:

• A multiplier for general dandelion particle density (default: 1.0)
• A multiplier for dandelion particle lifespan (default: 1.0)

Biome Tag

Using a datapack, players can alter one of two tags which indicate the biomes in which the two types of fluffy dandelion patches spawn:

• just_dandy:has_fluffy_dandelion includes plains and forests. Normal-sized patches.
• just_dandy:has_frequent_fluffy_dandelion includes meadows, and has patches of fluffy dandelions spawn with greater frequency and in greater density.
• just_dandy:has_thick_dandelion has very frequent dandelion patches, and exclusively includes Dandelion Fields from the mod World of Wonder.

Requires Blueprint. Includes optional compatibility with many different mods; see the Versions tab and the Changelog for more information.
