About this project
What does Groundskeeper add?
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?
With Groundskeeper, you can now make cosmetic saplings and crops to decorate with!
Tree Saplings/Bamboo =
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. (Small version can be placed in planter and still look like the small version and vice versa).
Hollow Logs =
Created with a log, saw, and axe in the crafting grid.
Berry Bushes =
Each berry bush can be crafted in the empty, flowering, and ripe appearance with the berry, leaves, and the leaf cutter.
Crops =
Additionally, all crops (minus bellpepper and pumpkin) have a 'decor' version, which will not die in the cold/wilt.
Leaf Cutter =
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
Future Plans =
- More 'outdoor' themed decor- perhaps a birdbath/butterfly feeder?
- Turf - Grass appearance with walk speed addition (like a path)
- Dirt Path (Dirt block that doesn't change into grass)
- Hollow Logs
- Leaf Hedges (will function like a fence)
- Lattices/Trellis
- Berry Bushes
- Flower baskets
- Stepping Stones (made of brick, cobble, or clay)
- Raked Gravel/Sand - Zen garden!
- Flower Bushes/Fantasy Bushes
