If you’re hungering for more plants and fauna in Minecraft, you have found the right mod.
The new hanging plants.
The Plant Mega Pack Mod adds A LOT of new plants and fauna to Minecraft, making every outdoor environment and biome look a lot better and feel much more immersive.
As many other mods, this also requires Minecraft Forge to function, so be sure you have downloaded and installed that before installing this mod.
Just a small selection of all the plants found in this mod.
370 is the grand total of plants added by this mod, as well as other features, such as Wall Brackets to which you can attach hanging plants, berries you can use to create food, leaves you can use to craft powders and more!
What is even more impressive, is that all plants are taken from the real world, so in a way they make Minecraft more realistic.
The mod also adds a tooltip feature to any plants, which displays the name of the plant, the scientific name of the plant (you might even learn something from this mod), which category it belongs to, and the attributes of the plant (such as if its poisonous or if it can be used to craft dyes and more).
The mod also supports these biome mods, making it more versatile:
- ExtrabiomesXL
- Biomes O’ Plenty
- Highlands
- Better Biomes

Food:
