The rubber dandelion got a proper body, a way to look at its roots without digging, and a much slower, more deliberate growth cycle.

New

• Crouch beside a dandelion to see its root straight through the ground. The world dims, the root glows inside the soil, and cell borders show how many blocks deep it has gone. A caption tells you whether it is still growing or ready to dig.
• Jumping onto a flower now sets it back one growth stage. Walking through it is safe, and so is crouching — looking at a root never harms the plant.

Improved

• The flower and its roots have new solid models — four growth stages and two root shapes instead of flat crosses.
• A root remembers the ground it grew in. Dig one out of sand and sand stays behind, not dirt; red sand stays red, and farmland keeps its moisture.
• Growth is now a rising ladder: the first stage is quick, later ones take longer, and the longest wait is the tip — the part that pays a root. A plantation now takes patience instead of a couple of minutes.
• It grows noticeably faster in sand — that is its native soil. Tilling no longer helps at all: this is a steppe ✨, not a hoe crop.
• Wild dandelions have moved off the plains and into savannas, mountain meadows and windswept hills — where they belong.

Bug Fixes

• The scythe could not harvest a short root. With only one block of soil over stone the ready tip was left in the ground; the scythe now takes it at either depth.
