Physis

Physis v1.0.0 - The Flora Update

We are proud to present Physis 1.0.0, a complete overhaul and transition of the mod! In this version, we have completely stripped away the heavy forest expansion and tree growth mechanics to focus on providing a lightweight, high-performance, and vanilla-like vegetation propagation system.

Mod Redirection & Refactoring

• Forest Systems Removed: Completely removed tree growth simulation, wind physics, lightning leaf decay, sapling health/lifecycles, and forest databases.
• Refactored Codebase: Renamed outdated backend files (such as ForestGrowthHandler to FloraGrowthHandler) to match the new focus.

New Seed-based Noise System (Vanilla-like)

• Value Noise Generator: Plant propagation (grass, flowers, ferns, bushes) is no longer random and scattered. It is now governed by a seed-based, multi-octave Value Noise system that creates beautiful, clustered, organic patterns matching vanilla Minecraft generation.
• Organic Clusters: Bushes and grass now group together naturally in dense patches and sparse areas based on noise coordinates.

Vegetation Density & Performance Buffs

• Grass Density Boost: Significantly increased grass density. Raised maximum density in dense patches from 9 to 18 (and from 5 to 10 in standard areas).
• Improved Search: Raised search iterations to 12 attempts per tick, and lowered noise thresholds to allow grass to blanket open areas naturally.
• Grass Block Self-Spreading Fix: Fixed a bug where grass_block would mistakenly clone itself as short grass.
• Massive Performance Gain: Removing the tree and forest tracking databases results in near-zero CPU/memory footprint, making the mod fully lightweight and server-friendly.
