🌱 Garden Trails

A lightweight plant-focused mod introducing a variety of new flora, the Silk Moth and its unique silk crafting process, as well as decorative potted plants and upcoming iron pergolas and lattices with climbing plant support.

This vanilla-friendly mod blends naturally into Minecraft and pairs especially well with Dawn of Time. It combines exploration and discovery through new plants, with creation and craftsmanship around silk production — and more features to come in future updates.

Full-on compatibility

We made sure the mod plays nice with these mods :

• ✔️ Critters and Companions : works with Silk & recipes for Silk Lead and Grappling Hook
• ✔️ Let's Do Vinery : compatibility with grapes and red grapes, red grape bag recipe & red grape seeds from DoT grapes
• ✔️ Farmer's Delight : rice compatibility and bag of rice recipe
• ✔️ Farmland compatibility : Aether, Farmer's Delight, and Immersive Weathering

Features

Plants

• 11 new plants (with their wild versions): Boxwood, Camellia, Commelina, Cypress, Geranium, Grapes, Ivy, Maize, Maple Sapling, Mulberry, Rice
• Silk feature: Silk Moth entity, Drying Tray block, Stick Bundle block, Silk items (including silk itself!)
• 8 potted plants: Camellia, Commelina, Cypress, Geranium, Grapes, Maize, Maple Sapling, Mulberry

Iron pergola block

The pergola is back in a new formula : the iron pergola! This block is now going to handle the climbing plant feature we removed from wooden pergola in Dawn of Time. We decided to make it in iron to avoid the Everycompat variations multiplying the amount of blockstates (saturating the ram). The block got reworked and optimized!

• The pergola support the Grapes, the Ivy and the Vines. Use the plant at the base of the pergola and let it grow!

How to obtain silk ?

• Find the mulberries in the flowery forest or taiga.
• When the mulberry is fully grown, there is a chance that a Silk Moth spawns.
• Kill it to obtain silk eggs that you can hatch with mulberry leaves in the drying tray.
  You can collect mulberry leaves by hitting the base of the plant.

Upcoming Features

• Iron Pergola & Iron Lattice with climbing plant support
• Color variants for Geraniums
• Biome-adaptive foliage colors (e.g., Cypress adapting like vanilla leaves)
• Bridge compatibility between Dawn of Time and Armor of the Ages: shared crafting recipes using Garden Trails resources & cross-mod integration for items and plants
• Biome generation compatibility for modded worlds (e.g., Biomes O’ Plenty, Terralith, etc.)
