KJ's Cave Root
New Plants for Underground Exploration
This mod adds unique plants to Minecraft caves that will become indispensable helpers during underground journeys. Instead of constantly returning to the surface for supplies, you can find everything you need right in the depths of the world.
Cave Root
The main plant of the mod is the cave root, which generates in underground biomes. When broken, it drops as an item. Eating the root restores the same hunger and saturation as a carrot, but its main feature is a 75% chance to give the "Haste II" effect for 1 minute, significantly speeding up resource gathering.
Torch Fungi
These unusual mushrooms also appear in caves. When broken, they leave spores that can be planted on fertile soil. Spores emit light level 4, but over time grow into full mushrooms with light level 7. Harvested mature mushrooms provide even more spores for further cultivation.
Dried Root
The third plant in the mod is the dried root, found in caves. When collected, it provides 1-2 sticks, which can be useful for creating tools right underground.
