Vanillume is a lightweight vanilla-style expansion for Minecraft that introduces new wildlife, crops, foods, potions, building blocks, tools and useful crafting recipes while preserving the familiar atmosphere and balance of the original game.
The mod is designed to make Minecraft feel more complete without adding overly complicated systems. Every creature, item and mechanic is intended to fit naturally alongside vanilla content.
Bears are powerful neutral animals that spawn individually in Forests and Dark Forests. They behave peacefully until attacked, after which they become aggressive, display red eyes and chase the player who provoked them.
Bears have 40 health, deal damage comparable to Polar Bears and move faster while attacking. Their improved AI helps them pursue targets, navigate around obstacles and attack reliably.
Bears can eat dropped:
While eating, the Bear holds the berry in its paws and plays a custom eating animation. Bears can safely walk through all berry bushes without taking damage.
After eating a berry, a Bear has:
When defeated, a Bear drops exactly one item:
Bears also have custom ambient, hurt and death sounds.
Raccoons are cautious animals found in suitable temperate Overworld biomes. They spawn as passive creatures in groups of 2–5 and avoid cold, snowy, desert and savanna environments.
Wild Raccoons normally run away from players similarly to vanilla Cats. A player who sneaks while holding a Spider Eye can approach without immediately frightening them. After calming down, the Raccoon slowly approaches the player.
Raccoons can be tamed with Spider Eyes. A tamed Raccoon:
Raccoons are nocturnal animals. During the day, wild Raccoons lie down and play a custom sleeping animation with a separate sleeping texture. Approaching players wake them, although sneaking allows the player to move closer before being noticed.
Zombies are afraid of Raccoons and try to avoid them.
Cluckshrooms are mushroom-covered Chickens found exclusively in Mushroom Fields. They spawn as passive creatures in groups of 4–8, using natural spawn conditions similar to vanilla Mooshrooms.
Cluckshrooms behave like vanilla Chickens:
Using Shears on a Cluckshroom transforms it into a regular Chicken and drops Red Mushrooms.
When defeated, Cluckshrooms can drop:
Cluckshrooms also lay their own Mushroom Eggs instead of regular Eggs.
Mushroom Eggs can be thrown like vanilla Eggs and use matching egg-texture particles when they break.
They have the same basic hatching behavior as regular Eggs:
Every Mushroom Egg also has a rare 1-in-500 chance to produce a random survival-obtainable Overworld item.
Items exclusive to the Nether or End, technical blocks, unobtainable items and other unsuitable rewards are excluded from the random reward pool.
The Golden Fish is an extremely rare and valuable food that can be obtained while fishing. Without any special effects, its base fishing chance is 0.2%.
Eating a Golden Fish:
Obtaining a Golden Fish for the first time unlocks the Golden Catch! advancement.
Golden Fish can be used to brew a Golden Fishing Potion.
While the Golden Fishing effect is active, the chance of catching another Golden Fish increases from 0.2% to 20%.
Tomatoes are farmable crops planted using Tomato Seeds. They grow through several stages and can be harvested by right-clicking a mature plant without destroying it.
After harvesting, the plant returns to an earlier growth stage and continues growing.
A mature regular tomato plant can produce:
Yellow Tomatoes are rare and highly nutritious. They restore 6 hunger points and provide the same saturation modifier as a Golden Carrot.
A Yellow Tomato can be crafted into Yellow Tomato Seeds. These seeds grow a separate yellow tomato crop.
A mature yellow tomato plant usually produces 2–3 Yellow Tomatoes, but it has a 10% chance to produce a Rotten Tomato instead.
Rotten Tomatoes are not completely useless. They can be thrown like snowballs, giving unsuccessful harvests a simple and entertaining purpose.
Vanillume introduces two new berry varieties:
Each berry has its own bush with four growth stages. These bushes grow, slow entities, deal damage and can be harvested similarly to vanilla Sweet Berry Bushes.
Harvested berries can be replanted to grow new bushes.
Sweet Berries, Sour Berries and Blackberries can each be turned into a special jam with a unique temporary effect.
Jams:
Vanillume expands the vanilla brick block set with colored brick variants.
These decorative blocks maintain the familiar appearance of Minecraft bricks while providing more building options. Their colors match the standard Minecraft palette, allowing them to work naturally alongside concrete, wool, terracotta and other decorative blocks.
The Copper Bucket is an early-game alternative to the regular Iron Bucket.
Copper Shears work similarly to regular vanilla Shears. They can be used on sheep, leaves, vines and other compatible blocks, providing another practical early-game use for copper.
Regular Eggs can be cooked into Fried Eggs, providing a simple new food source and an additional survival use for eggs.
Vanillume introduces useful crafting recipes inspired by newer versions of Minecraft:
These recipes make both items renewable without completely removing the value of exploration and structure loot.
Vanillume is made for players who enjoy the original Minecraft experience but want more wildlife, farming, food, decoration and practical uses for existing vanilla resources.
