Hyacinth Plants are a group of underwater plants and a decorative lamp added by the Regions Unexplored mod. The plants grow on the ocean floor of the Hyacinth Deeps biome, which replaces the vanilla Deep Frozen Ocean. The group includes the Hyacinth Lamp, a waterlogged light source that can be crafted from hyacinth blooms or tall hyacinth stock. Players who explore cold deep oceans will find these plants on the seabed.
Obtaining
The plants generate naturally in the Hyacinth Deeps biome. Hyacinth Deeps replaces the vanilla Deep Frozen Ocean at a default weight of 50. Three features place the plants on the ocean floor:
- Hyacinth plants make up to 80 attempts per chunk. Each attempt picks a position within about 7 blocks of the chunk origin, and places a plant only if that tile is water. Each placed plant has a 1 in 7 chance of being a Hyacinth Bloom. Otherwise it is a vanilla seagrass.
- Hyacinth flowers make 15 attempts per chunk on the ocean floor.
- Tall hyacinth stock is placed by a noise-based count, so it clusters in some areas and is absent in others. See the Usage section for its growth rules.
All four blocks drop themselves when broken. The Hyacinth Flowers block only drops items when it is harvested with shears. Without shears it breaks and drops nothing.
Crafting
The Hyacinth Lamp is crafted with one item from the hyacinth_blooms item tag placed above a prismarine slab. The tag contains Hyacinth Bloom and Tall Hyacinth Stock, so either item can be used. The recipe produces one lamp.
Usage
The plants are mainly decorative and do not have gameplay effects beyond their light levels, their tags and the lamp recipe.
Hyacinth Lamp
The Hyacinth Lamp emits light level 14. It has a waterlogged state, so it can be placed in water and keeps its water state. It needs a solid block or a center-supported face directly below it. If the block below is removed, the lamp breaks. Its hardness is 0, so it breaks instantly with any tool, and its blast resistance is 0.
Hyacinth Bloom
The Hyacinth Bloom emits light level 9. It is a seagrass-type block that only appears on water tiles, placed by the hyacinth plant feature described above. Its hardness is 0, and its item is part of the hyacinth_blooms tag used in the lamp recipe.
Tall Hyacinth Stock
The Tall Hyacinth Stock emits light level 12. It grows as a vertical stack on the ocean floor, and the stack height is set by a random roll in the placing feature. Each block has one of six shapes: base, base frustum, base tip, middle, frustum or tip. The shapes update automatically as blocks are added or removed above and below. The stock can only exist in tiles that hold a full water source (fluid level 8), and it cannot be placed in flowing water. It also emits floating hyacinth particles. These particles are cosmetic and have no effect on the player.
Hyacinth Flowers
The Hyacinth Flowers block attaches to the faces of neighbouring blocks, in the same way as glow lichen. It emits light level 8. It is tagged as a flower, animal food, flower box plantable and herb, so mods that use those tags can use it in flower boxes, as animal food and in herb recipes. Harvesting it with shears drops one item for each attached face.
