A major Vanilla+ expansion to plants and flora in Vintage Story

The Biodiversity mod suite aims to provide more farmland crops, trees, wood types, flowers, grasses, herb plants, and more, while retaining near Vanilla game mechanics and high compatibility with other major mods.

A long term goal is to allow for a player to travel the world and always find new plants or materials to use, or a server to use the Biodiversity mods to build up trade networks of exotic flowers, woods, and herbs.

This is planned to be a community effort, with many modders contributing their skills and talents to provide the Vintage Story community with as much new flora as we can, in a manner that looks like the developers themselves could have added it, works out of the box with as many other mods as possible, and optimized as much as possible to prevent excess lag on older machines or large servers.

captanredbeard  They aren't actually poisonous or anything, they just usually taste bad according to the page. They have been used for medicinal purposes though!

Ampelopsis glandulosa are not commonly cultivated for culinary purposes, as its taste is unlikable, being described as slimy and bland.[6]

Ampelopsis glandulosa is sometimes cultivated for medical purposes, such as in China where it used to treat clots, boils, abscesses, ulcers, traumatic bruises, and aches.[7]

13rimstone did take a look at the wikipidea page you linked, but do porcelain berries have any edible uses? According to the article they aern't edible for humans

Just for fun, look in to porcelain berries! I saw there were loads of fun potential berries in the doc and I figured I'd suggest them :)
