Garden Trails

🌱 Garden Trails

Garden Trails is an exploration and crafting mod about plants. You travel the world to find wild plants, harvest them, and bring them home to build your own garden: flower pots, planters, pergolas, trees. Every plant lives next to the others and together they form a small ecosystem that you design.

Then you put that harvest to work. Dry it, ferment it, feed it to the creatures that live around you, and you get silk, tea, sake and even a bird companion that makes your garden grow faster.

No required dependency, and everything blends into vanilla.

Full-on compatibility

Garden Trails has special compatibilities with the mods of the Dawn of Time ecosystem:

• ✔️ Critters and Companions : Silk recipes for Silk Lead and Grappling Hook.
• ✔️ Let's Do Vinery : Garden Trails grapes can be crafted into a red grape bag.
• ✔️ Farmer's Delight : rice can be crafted into a bag of rice, and works on its rich soil.
• ✔️ Farmer's Respite : tea leaves can be used in the kettle to brew dandelion tea (Forge only).
• ✔️ Upgrade Aquatic : the mulberry is added to the forge:fruits/mulberry tag (Forge only).
• ✔️ Farmland compatibility : Aether and Immersive Weathering: plants can grow on their farmland.
• ✔️ JEI : dedicated Drying and Fermenting recipe categories.

Biome mods

Wild plants, the Quetzal and the rotten tree also spawn in the biomes of these mods, so Garden Trails keeps working in modpacks that replace the vanilla biomes.

• Terralith
• Biomes O' Plenty
• Regions Unexplored
• Oh The Biomes We've Gone
• Atmospheric
• Nature's Spirit

Everything is datadriven. The tags gardentrails:quetzal_boosted, gardentrails:tameable_birds and gardentrails:quetzal_bond_chest let modpack authors add their own plants, birds and chestplates. The gardentrails:fermenting and gardentrails:dryer recipe types can be used in datapacks.

Flower pots and planters

• Flower pot: put a plant on an empty vanilla flower pot to get the potted version, and use an empty hand to take the plant back. This works with the plants of Garden Trails, vanilla and other mods. The tooltip of a plant tells you if it fits in a pot.
• Flower Planter: a wider flower pot made of bricks (6 bricks). Place it against a wall, on the lower or upper half of a block. It holds any plant a flower pot can hold. Put a geranium in it to get the planter with hanging leaves.

Pergola & Lattice

The pergola and the lattice block handles the climbing plant feature. It supports Grapes, Ivy and Vines, place the plant on the support and let it grow over time.
