# The Verdant Growth<\/p>\n
The\u00a0**Verdant Growth**\u00a0is an unstoppable plant infection that spreads across the world, consuming forests and reshaping landscapes. It expands through two primary mechanisms: strangler vines entwine and overgrow trees, and underground roots transform even deepslate into lush greenery. This relentless overgrowth introduces new resources, challenges, and dangers; survival can be difficult, but the rewards are well worth it. Players who unleash the **Verdant Growth** must be prepared\u2014it cannot be contained easily. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Overgrown regions offer unique materials and ingredients. Strangler-vine-covered trees yield large amounts of\u00a0**Strangler Wood**, while the rarer **Heartwood** can be crafted into tools, weapons, and armor. Players may rarely find **Imbued Heartwood**, a key step in creating rapidly self-repairing equipment. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Many other plants have distinct and useful properties: Poison Ivy can be crafted into **Poison Arrows**, **Thorn Bushes** provide materials for devious traps, and climbable **Strangler Tendrils** can be crafted into **Rope** and upgradable, throwable **Rope Coils**. Many plants serve as ingredients for powerful potions, while crops like **Cassava**, **Ube**, and **Coffee** introduce unique mechanics, risks, and rewards.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, the Verdant Growth doesn\u2019t generate in the world naturally. Players must first locate an\u00a0**Overgrown Pyramid** hidden in jungle biomes and deliberately trigger its release. Once it is set loose, all players in the world will receive an advancement notification\u2014marking the start of a slow spread that will consume and transform the world. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
