\n# Lush Caves
\nThis datapack adds some extra, much needed features to lush caves.
\nSpore blossom particles will now spawn in the air of the biome, regardless of whether or not there are spore blossoms nearby. Coal ore can be found below y=0. Rooted dirt and grass blocks now generate underground in patches. flowers generate on top of grass blocks. Lily pads can be found on the surface of water. Bee nests and bees can be found in the caves. Glow lichen spawns on top of moss, so there are less mobs in lush caves.<\/p>\n

## Lush Aquifers<\/p>\n

Aquifers in vanilla lush caves have no decoration blocks. Now, lush aquifers have moss, clay, tall and small dripleafs, sand, glow lichen, and seagrass.<\/p>\n

## Azalea Trees
\nAzalea trees generate frequently when a lush cave is open to the sky. Rooted azaleas can only spawn on dirt-like blocks, so no more random azalea trees in a desert.<\/p>\n

# Moss Blocks
\nBonemealing moss now has a chance to spawn glow lichen. Spore blossoms and cave vines will be created if there is air under the moss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
