This mod was created as a means to provide an alternative to cattails and papyrus in arctic regions or when using world generation mods. Enjoy!

  • Find and cut down some wild vines.
  • Use a knife with the vines in the crafting grid to cut them into a green vine stem.
  • Cure the stems in the open air, in a container or simply in inventory for 8 hours, creating cured vine stems.
  • Use cured vine stems instead of cattails or papyrus to craft reed chests, baskets, basket traps, hunter backpacks, bee skeps, beenades and the crude shield.
  • Decorative and wearable vine wreaths.

For vine farming, check out the Wildfarming mod.
For vine cultivation, there's a very cool feature in the Floral Zones: Mediterranian mod that lets you collect wild grapes and replant them on stakes. I could maybe add a compatch that spawns some vine stems from that.

Just found you! How about a vine farming mod? Growing vines for decoration and function will be cool. They could be added to orchards for the illusion of blooming trees. Pius, who doesn't want a flower crown for Spring King or queen?

Thanks for the feedback! This is a lovely idea.

I too thought about adding green or even flowery wreaths. I am still undecided on whether that should be made into it's own mod to avoid feature bloat.

Maybe if I only make a few greener / seasonal variants, this will be a much more balanced addition.

Maybe you could add more lively wreath? Like adding green vine to cured one would create wreath that is covered with leaves ~ would be good for greenhouse decor and nature-like outfits

Hopefully, in v. 1.0.3 this issue has been fixed.

Earlier today i found that there is a glitch that makes the Reed Chests and Animal Traps uncraftable atm. I love the mod concept, its a pain to find reeds a lot of the time

 

FEB , Mar 16th 2025 at 7:58 PM

No, I've checked the uploaded file, you are correct, I forgot to remove the WIP files for skeps. Will fix in 1.0.2 and add variants once I am more familiar with coding.

Thanks for the answer, if no one has the same problem, it's probably a problem with another mod. Skeps are white with a red question mark as always when something is wrong

FEB , Mar 16th 2025 at 5:32 PM

Please check if the skeps are actually gone or invisible. They should highlight on the top bar when you look over the spots thay used to be at.
The mod currently makes no changes to the vanilla skep, so this should not be happening.

Idk why but i lost all my skeps after update

Great idea! I love seeing mods that make living in the exterme climates more viable 😁

Reasonable suggestions, and thanks for support! v.1.0.0 is already dialed down from original 4h curing time, looks like I overshot the conversion number. Will pull it down to 2:1 or 1:1 based on future testing.

Turning vines into a reed chest is indeed a simple workaround, but in the future I want a variant vine basket trap. VanillaVariants has papyrus basket traps, so making one for trhis mod should be possible.
My main issue with skeps tuening into reeds in immersion. Ideally, I would split skeps into variants based on primary crafting material, similar to aforementioned chests.

binmgus, Mar 7th 2025 at 6:31 PM

i'd install in a heartbeat if it were inverted, multiple vines to craft 1 crafting material

HoosierDaddy, Mar 7th 2025 at 6:15 PM

Nice. Something that I think has been needed for quite a while.

 

  • Vines chest cannot be used to craft traps;

By far the easiest way to address this is just a grid recipe to turn your vine chest iinto a reed chest.

 

  • Bee skeps still drop cattails when harvested.

The only downside is that it makes it possible to craft poultices. Not a deal breaker for me. The reeds just hold the mashed horsetail in place, so whatever a skep dropped it should be able to do that.

 

It's the 4:1 ratio of stems vines that makes it OP. Vines are so common, so easily harvested, and you only need so much rope and no more that 2:1 or even 1:1 would be more balanced. In my server, even with 1:1, most people make skeps of vines.
