Overview
This is an incredibly niche mod with one feature: azalea bushes do not spawn from bone-mealed moss blocks, unless the bone-mealing takes place in a certain biome tag.
This mod came about because I wanted to use moss in worldgen without having it guarantee access to azalea trees. While less significant in vanilla, azalea trees get a specialized wood type with mods such as Caverns and Chasms, adding further value to their discovery. Thus, I wanted to let the Lush Caves retain that value while keeping moss flexible.
Config
While there is no config, you can edit the biome tag fussy_azaleas:moss_grows_azaleas to add more biomes where azaleas should be available. By default, this only includes vanilla's Lush Caves.
Requires Blueprint. Feel free to direct any compat suggestions and bugs to the issue tracker!
