Fudu Flora

Fudu Flora

Complete illustrated guide to version 0.1.7

Fudu Flora brings garden planting and landscape building to Minecraft. Start with a tree or flower bed, then add climbing plants, trellises, bamboo fences and vases. Scholar stones, pond plants, stepping stones and functional streetlights help connect individual details into a courtyard, park or landscaped street.

The mod combines vanilla-style pixel art and block-based models with Survival progression: find plants in existing biomes, collect and propagate them, craft matching wood components, and improve soil through decomposing leaves. This guide covers the complete feature set retained across all releases up to the finalized 0.1.7 build.

Trees Shrubs and Flowers

Distinct tree shapes

The 13 tree variants are Plane, Ginkgo, Scholar Tree, Golden Rain Tree, Camphor, Zelkova, White Poplar, Flamboyant, Golden Osmanthus, Silver Osmanthus, Banyan, Crape Myrtle and Magnolia. Their branching, canopy proportions and foliage vary by tree type. Ginkgo has golden foliage, while flowering trees use blossoms as accents within their canopies.

Saplings grow naturally or with bone meal. Ordinary trees have a one-block trunk; four matching Ginkgo or Banyan saplings in a 2×2 square can grow into a giant tree. Banyan aerial roots hang from varied branch positions. Obstacles stop the affected growth path while other directions can continue.

Applicable vanilla sapling and world-generated tree shapes also receive connected branches and irregular foliage, while retaining vanilla blocks and relevant giant-tree requirements. Existing trees are preserved. Leaves can be collected with shears or Silk Touch; ordinary breaking can return the corresponding sapling or shrub.

Shrubs and herbaceous flowers

The 10 shrubs are Loropetalum, Duranta, Pittosporum, Fagraea, Privet, Weeping Fig, Gardenia, and blue, pink and white Hydrangeas. Shrubs bloom and lose flowers through random ticks. The first six woody shrubs can also become small trees through bone meal; Gardenia and Hydrangeas retain their shrub form.

Figure 2  Hydrangea and Gardenia models keep flowers on the top and upper sides

The 11 herbaceous flower variants are Carnation, Moth Orchid, Peace Lily, Cyclamen, Clivia, purple/white/yellow Marigolds, purple/blue Irises and Daylily. Their different heights suit borders, paths and flower beds.

Figure 3  Irises and Daylily shown as planted, potted and inventory models

Supported flowering plants can be sheared for flowers and dyes, then flower again through their normal growth rules or bone meal. Many terrestrial plants also fit vanilla flower pots. Tree blossoms retain their separate behaviour rather than following the shrub bloom cycle.

Climbing Plants Trellises and Vases

Wisteria, Climbing Rose and Trumpet Vine offer hanging purple racemes, pink blossoms and orange flower clusters. Plant them near suitable walls, posts or fences to climb upward, or beneath a suitable ceiling to grow hanging shoots.

Wooden and bamboo trellises each provide posts, beams and lattice tops. Vines can pass from a post onto a beam and spread beneath the lattice, sharing space with the narrow support. Each bone meal use advances at most one growth point. Beneath trellis beams and tops, each hanging column has a saved maximum length of one or two blocks, helping keep walkways clear.

Five one-block-tall vase styles are available: Blue Porcelain, Painted Plum Porcelain, Clear Glass, Medieval Earthenware and Medieval Metal. Each holds up to four matching or mixed flowers, with the complete arrangement remaining below two blocks tall. Existing terrestrial flowers and the new cut Lotus and Water Lily flowers can be used.

Right-click to insert a flower. Sneak and right-click with an empty hand to retrieve the most recently inserted flower. Breaking a vase returns its contents, and arrangements save and synchronize in multiplayer. Recipes use a Flower Pot with coloured terracotta, glass or iron, depending on the style.

Ruozhu Bamboo and Bamboo Equipment

Ruozhu bamboo grows as clumps of up to four stalks in one block. Each stalk has its own saved height limit of 6–12 blocks. Shoots mature into leafy stalks and grow through random ticks; bone meal advances eligible stalks in turn.

Mature clumps fill their own empty quadrants before spreading through four saved, randomly selected neighbouring directions. About 35% of fixed ground positions permit natural clumps, so repeated growth attempts preserve clearings. Manual planting is unrestricted by this density rule. Ruozhu can also be found in newly generated vanilla Bamboo Jungle chunks.

Internodes make connected, waterloggable Bamboo Palisades. Internodes and Bamboo Poles make a two-block-tall gate with left/right hinges, manual opening and redstone support. Bamboo Poles also supply bamboo trellises and armour crafting.

Bamboo Armour includes a helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots, crafted and repaired with Bamboo Poles. Base protection and durability match iron armour. Each piece adds 12.5% non-projectile damage reduction and 12.5% fire vulnerability, reaching 50% each with a full set. Fire uses the vulnerability rule without also receiving that reduction.

Fallen Leaves and Nutrient Rich Soil

Vanilla and mod foliage can deposit litter onto suitable empty surfaces below, while retaining the canopy. Up to four leaf patches fit in one block. The release has 33 matching fresh/dry litter pairs, with appearances linked to their source foliage. Existing plants and blocks are respected.

A gradual soil cycle

Nutrient-rich Dirt gives supported plants approximately twice their normal natural growth. Clear the litter above it and use a hoe to turn it into Nutrient-rich Farmland, using the familiar vanilla hoe interaction.

Nutrient-rich Farmland stays hydrated without nearby water and approximately doubles crop growth. Harvesting mature produce consumes fertility and returns it to ordinary hydrated farmland. Mining the farmland returns ordinary dirt.

If Nutrient-rich Dirt is left untilled, it can eventually return to an ordinary Grass Block after the litter has decomposed and conditions are suitable. Litter cover, standing water, insufficient light or an opaque covering pause grass recovery. Progress is retained in the save.

Modular Scholar Stones and Rockeries

Four Taihu-style modules are available: Peak Stone, Ledge Stone, Pierced Stone and Belly Stone. Place them individually or combine them into courtyard focal points and shoreline arrangements. Peak and Pierced Stones are two blocks tall; Ledge and Belly Stones are one block tall.

Figure 8  The four base stone modules in a moss-covered state

Modules connect horizontally and stack vertically. Neighbouring connections update when a stone is added or removed. Sneak and right-click with an empty hand to rotate a module and adapt its outline or opening to the site.

Three craftable presets provide complete starting arrangements: Listening Spring, Layered Peaks and Winding Shore. Place a preset as a group, then edit its stones individually. Placement checks space and support, and dismantling returns the component modules for reuse.

Moss during thunderstorms

Exposed stones gradually develop moss through random ticks during thunderstorms. Four stages range from clean stone to dense coverage. Ordinary rain or fully sheltered conditions do not advance this process. Moss is saved and retained when stones are collected and placed again.

In Survival, use ordinary Stone in a Stonecutter to make any base module, one per Stone. Combine the modules using the corresponding recipes to craft the presets.

Pond Plants Stepping Stones and Edging

Pink Lotus, White Lotus, Pink Water Lily, White Water Lily, Lotus Leaf, Cattail and Reed form seven aquatic and waterside plant types. Find them in suitable new biome waters and banks, collect them, and plant them in your own ponds.

Figure 10  Lotus flower shapes include closed buds on independent leaf-free stalks

Lotus and Water Lily flowers support shearing, regrowth, dye crafting and vase arrangements. One whole Pink or White Lotus plant also crafts into two Lotus Leaves. Natural and bone-meal spread share sparse growth positions; manual planting remains unrestricted by that spacing rule.

Supported stones and connected banks

Stepping stones come in 1×1, 2×2 and 2×3 footprints. They preserve water and need solid support. Larger stones place as complete structures and return one item when any part is mined with the appropriate pickaxe. Pond Edging connects into straight, corner, T-shaped and four-way shorelines.

Unlike the rockeries, stepping stones gradually gain moss while waterlogged or directly beside water, without needing a thunderstorm. Stonecut ordinary Stone into small stones or edging; craft four small stones into a Medium stone, or six into a Large stone.

Eighteen Complete Wood Families

The complete wood families are Plane, Ginkgo, Scholar Tree, Golden Rain Tree, Camphor, Zelkova, White Poplar, Flamboyant, Osmanthus, Banyan, Crape Myrtle, Magnolia, Loropetalum, Duranta, Pittosporum, Fagraea, Privet and Weeping Fig. Golden and Silver Osmanthus share one wood family.

Each provides logs, planks, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors and trapdoors. Doors and trapdoors have distinct openings, latticework or panel designs, with manual/redstone operation, hinges and relevant waterlogging behaviour. Subtle irregular variation adds texture while retaining each wood colour.

In Survival, turn logs into planks and use vanilla-style patterns for the building parts. All 18 plank types work in general plank recipes such as Crafting Tables. Matching recipe unlocks, drops, axe tags and fuel uses are included.

Eight Streetlights with Real Ground Lighting

Streetlights suit plazas, courtyards and paths. Block geometry and pixel materials express both traditional twin lanterns and modern ring, disc or branching canopy designs, with heights and proportions suited to their surroundings.

Figure 14  All eight streetlight designs shown at a common scale

Luminous parts emit real Minecraft block light and illuminate nearby ground, including with shaders disabled. Lighting follows vanilla brightness limits, distance falloff and obstruction. Shader appearance and performance depend on the selected pack and hardware.

All eight lights and the Streetlight Wrench have Survival recipes. A light requires a solid foundation and enough space for its complete structure. Place it as one item; mine any segment with a pickaxe to recover the complete light. Losing its foundation removes the structure.

Rotation Controls and Getting Started

Right-click a light with the Streetlight Wrench to open its rotation interface. Enter an angle or drag the slider in 0.5° increments across 720 settings, with an updated preview. Apply saves the direction; Cancel keeps the current pose. Blocked or unauthorized changes leave the light in place.

Figure 15  The actual rotation interface with input, slider and complete-light preview

Axiom can expand a selection touching an actual segment into the complete loaded light. Clipboard and blueprint copies retain the design and angle and can be edited independently. Copied lights rebuild their illumination; thumbnails or pre-placement previews may still be incomplete.

Optional Distant Horizons support displays simplified distant lights. Integration was tested with DH 2.4.0-b and Axiom 5.4.2. Static lamps use chunk rendering; Embeddium 0.3.31 supports this path directly. The mod itself needs no microblock addon.

Explore new chunks for natural plants in existing vanilla biomes. Bone meal on grass can also produce Peace Lily, Cyclamen and purple/blue Irises. Creative mode groups all 353 items into Plants, Wood & Building, Garden Decorations, and Materials & Equipment.

Use the matching Forge 1.20.1 JAR on client and server, keeping one copy per side. Existing worlds remain supported. New natural vegetation appears only in newly generated chunks.
