The Verdant Growth
The Verdant Growth is an unstoppable plant infection that spreads across the world, consuming forests and reshaping landscapes. It expands through two primary mechanisms: strangler vines entwine and overgrow trees, and underground roots transform even deepslate into lush greenery. This relentless overgrowth introduces new resources, challenges, and dangers; survival can be difficult, but the rewards are well worth it. Players who unleash the Verdant Growth must be prepared—it cannot be contained easily.
Overgrown regions offer unique materials and ingredients. Strangler-vine-covered trees yield large amounts of Strangler Wood, while the rarer Heartwood can be crafted into tools, weapons, and armor. Players may rarely find Imbued Heartwood, a key step in creating rapidly self-repairing equipment.
Many other plants have distinct and useful properties: Poison Ivy can be crafted into Poison Arrows, Thorn Bushes provide materials for devious traps, and climbable Strangler Tendrils can be crafted into Rope and upgradable, throwable Rope Coils. Many plants serve as ingredients for powerful potions, while crops like Cassava, Ube, and Coffee introduce unique mechanics, risks, and rewards.
Fortunately, the Verdant Growth doesn’t generate in the world naturally. Players must first locate an Overgrown Pyramid hidden in jungle biomes and deliberately trigger its release. Once it is set loose, all players in the world will receive an advancement notification—marking the start of a slow spread that will consume and transform the world.
This was once a humble, harmless oak tree - now transformed by the Verdant Growth.
It smells like soil after rain... strange faces carved in the walls warn you that this place is more than it seems!
Ube, a root vegetable similar to a sweet potato, can be used to make vibrant purple desserts! They are more filling than their ordinary counterparts.
Bone-meal Wild Coffee to get Coffee Berries. Plant them on farmland, wait for them to grow, roast the berries, and brew an energizing drink!
Despite its ominous name, this flower is quite harmless. Just don't eat it.
Protect your villages from the Verdant Growth - they're not immune to its hazards, and will quickly succumb to thorn and vine!
Even serene cherry groves are quickly overtaken by the Verdant Growth
As the Verdant Growth's roots erode stone to dirt, ores will be converted to dirt ores - these loose conglomerates can be mined with any tool.
The Stinking Blossom may look nice, but its nauseating smell is quite unpleasant! Avoid stepping on it, or face the consequences. On the other hand, the zombie-like odor might be useful in a potion...
...When you release the Verdant Growth! Or don't, since these humble yellow blossoms are harmless and add a rural touch to any home.
Witches adapt to the Verdant Growth to become Poisoners, taking advantage of the many noxious and powerful plants with deadly results.
Blasting Blossoms, inspired by Legend of Zelda's Bomb Flowers, are a powerful organic explosive. They may be hard to farm, but they're quite useful! Harvest them by right-clicking with shears or face explosive consequences.
The sap of Blueweed causes photosensitivity - standing in direct sunlight will hurt!
Because you'll need it to operate the Blowgun! Craft darts out of thorns and sticks and rapidly fire them out of a blowgun. Add effects to darts using flowers and other items, and boost their duration with binders like slime balls
Upgrade basic Heartwood Armor into Imbued Heartwood Armor or Thorny Heartwood Armor! Thorny armor has a built-in Thorns effect, and Imbued armor is rapidly self-repairing. Wearing a full set of Imbued Heartwood armor will pacify the Verdant Growth.
