Groundskeeper

<p>Have you ever wanted a field of grain sweeping across the fields next to your homestead without worrying about the winter? Perhaps you like the look of some kind of sapling and yet you can only enjoy the look of them for a brief time before they fully grow?</p> <p>With Groundskeeper, you can now make cosmetic saplings and crops to decorate with!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Saplings =</strong></p> <p>Currently all tree saplings have two sizes, a small and a large. (Small is the model that would typically be shown in a flowerpot, whilst large is what is shown in a planter). Every decor sapling can be placed on the ground, in a flower pot, and a planter.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Hollow Logs =</strong></p> <p>Created with a log, saw, and axe in the crafting grid.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Berry Bushes =</strong></p> <p>Each berry bush can be crafted in the empty, flowering, and ripe appearance with the berry, leaves, and the leaf cutter.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Crops / Mushrooms =</strong></p> <p>Additionally, all crops (minus bellpepper and pumpkin) and mushrooms have a 'decor' version, which will not die in the cold/wilt.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Leaf Cutter =</strong></p> <p>A new tool used to collect leaves (both non-branchy AND branchy) and used in recipes requiring the usage of leaves. Can be smithed on the anvil</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Raked Sand/Gravel =</strong></p> <p>Every stone type has a raked sand/gravel that can turn and go straight for the perfect zen garden.&nbsp;<span style="color: #e03e2d;">Currently the recipe for this is a rake and gravel/sand to create. I plan in future for the sand/gravel to be physically raked. It can be quite finnicky at times to have gravel/sand face the right way. My suggestion is to face the way you want the lines to go and do corners last.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Rake =</strong></p> <p>The rake can be knapped or smithed. As of right now, it's used for the crafting recipe of raked gravel/sand.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Turf Grass =</strong></p> <p>Turf Grass is a grass block on all sides that operates like a stone path (granting 1.3x walkspeed). It comes in a path block, full block, slab, and stairs.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Coarse Dirt =</strong></p> <p>Coarse dirt is a dirt block in which grass will never grow.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Decor Grass =</strong></p> <p>There's now decor grass which will never grow to it's next stage.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Birdbath =</strong></p> <p>Each stonetype has a birdbath variant. Butterflies are attracted to it!&nbsp;<span style="color: #e03e2d;">As of right now, the filled version of birdbath is a bucket of water above an empty birdbath. Functionality to right click with bucket to fill will be added soon. It costs 5L to fill.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Future Plans =</strong></p> <ul> <li>Leaf Hedges (will function like a fence)</li> <li>Lattices/Trellis</li> <li>Flower baskets</li> <li>Stepping Stones (made of brick, cobble, or clay)</li> <li>Flower Bushes/Fantasy Bushes</li> <li>Compost bin (turn plant debris into compost? Maybe leaves into plant debris?)</li> <li>Fruit Tree Decor</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Feel free to leave suggestions! - Storm</p>
