Harvest plant fibers from vegetation and craft an entire grass-tier progression — healing items, building blocks, a custom bed, and a full armor set.
Plant Fiber + Grass Tier is a lightweight survival mod that gives purpose to all the grass, flowers, and vines you break while exploring. Vegetation now drops Plant Fiber, a versatile crafting material that opens up an early-game tier of items below leather.
Breaking any of 44 vegetation blocks — grass, flowers, ferns, vines, kelp, cacti, and more — has a 25% chance to drop a Plant Fiber. Three Plant Fiber can also be crafted into String, giving you a renewable source from common plants.
Craft quick-use healing consumables from plants and fibers:
Bandage plants include grass, tall grass, ferns, large ferns, vines, and kelp. Both items use a quick bow-draw animation and show their stats in the tooltip.
Compact 9 Plant Fiber into a Grass Fiber Block — a green, grassy building block that serves as the base material for everything in the grass tier. It can be broken back down into 9 Plant Fiber at any time.
Craft a Grass Bed from 3 Grass Fiber Blocks + 3 Planks (any wood type).
The Grass Bed features a custom 3D model — a grass mound with scattered blades laid across the surface and a raised pillow on the head end. It functions as a full bed: set your respawn point, skip the night, and sleep through thunderstorms. Like vanilla beds, it explodes in the Nether and End.
A full armor set crafted entirely from Grass Fiber Blocks:
| Piece | Defense | Recipe Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Grass Helmet | 1 | 5 Grass Fiber Blocks |
| Grass Chestplate | 3 | 8 Grass Fiber Blocks |
| Grass Leggings | 2 | 7 Grass Fiber Blocks |
| Grass Boots | 1 | 4 Grass Fiber Blocks |
| Full Set | 7 | 24 Grass Fiber Blocks |
Grass armor provides 7 armor points (more than leather's 5) but has lower durability (50% of leather by default). It can be repaired with Plant Fiber on an anvil. The armor has an enchantability of 15, matching leather.
Every feature can be toggled and tuned in the config file:
When armor or items are disabled, they cannot be used — armor can't be equipped via shift-click or dispensers.
