This mod adds sunflowers in the genus Helianthus, plants in the sunflower family, and sunflower-like plants like Coreopsis. If it looks like a sunflower, I might just add it!

 

These plants are fully functional, act as bee feed and can be put in planters/flowerpots

This mod is compatible with Biomes, all plants will spawn in their proper bioregions

 

Adds:

Black eyed susan- Rudbeckia hirta

Largeflower Coreopsis- Coreopsis grandifolia

Lanceleaf Coreopsis- Coreopsis lanceolata + bicolor variant

Dune Sunflower- Helianthus debilis + ornamental variant

Purple Coneflower- Echinacea purpurea + ornamental variants

Sanguine Coneflower- Echinacea sanguinea

Seaside Oxeye Daisy- Borrichia frutescens

Rayless Sunflower- Helianthus radula

Coastal Plain Tickseed- Coreopsis gladiata

Star Tickseed- Coreopsis pubescens

Pink Tickseed- Coreopsis rosea

Plains Tickseed- Coreopsis tinctoria

Common Ragweed- Ambrosia artemisifolia

Giant Ragweed- Ambrosia trifida

Giant Sunflower- Helianthus giganteus

Swamp Sunflower- Helianthus angustifolius

Sawtooth Sunflower- Helianthus grosserratus

Prarie Sunflower- Helianthus pauciflorus

Mexican Sunflower- Tithonia rotundifolia + ornamental variants

 

Future plans:

-improved textures/shapes

-more accurate worldgen temps

 

More species:

-white rosinweed, starry rosinweed

-Zinnias - wild types and ornamental breeds

-Common sunflower (helianthus annuus) + ornamental varieties

-Texas Blueweed (Helianthus ciliaris) 

-Bush sunflower (Helianthus pumilus)

-Red Rock Sunflower (Helianthus devernii) (ultra rare?)

-Desert Sunflower (Helianthus deserticola)

-Showy Sunflower (Helianthus niveus)

-Mexican hat (Ratibida)

-Blankerflower (Gaillardia)

-Tidytips (layia)

-Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) art update + new rudbeckia species

 

I am open to suggestions for obscure species/species that have sentimental meaning

Oooh I've been hoping to see tall flowers in the game!  Any chance of adding Hollyhocks (Alcea) to the mod? those are my favorite flowers that come in so many colors!

Would it be possible to add various beggarticks species?

@Panaqolus: Would it be possible to add various beggarticks species?

They're on the list! I'm going to put them in an 'Aster' mod since they look more like daisies. I'll start working on it after Helianthus is complete.

Thanks for adding biomes support for your mod. I used the VS Chunk Manager mod to regenerate the part of the map i explored that was in the Pacific Nearctic and Pacific Neotropic and it looks great! I posted screenshots on the offical discord if you want to see.

Helianthus tuberosus? People eat it's tuber! :)

pretty!

@MrBadWithNames: pretty!

thanks so much!

Hydromancerx thanks so much for the suggestions! Biomes is being worked on. I'm running into errors when I test the generation and I can't find documentation for how to add compat. I tried looking to see what other mods do, but when I try what they did it doesn't work. But it's definitely coming soon, I won't give up on it!

It pretty easy. You want to make a filed called "Biomes.json" and put it in the config folder. Then you want something like this ...

{
  "BlockPatchBiomes": {
    "*-blackeyedsusan-*": [
    "atlantic nearctic"
    ],
    "*-coreopsis-*": [
    "pacific nearctic",
    "atlantic nearctic",
    "pacific neotropic",
    "atlantic neotropic"
    ],
    "*-dune-*": [
    "pacific nearctic",
    "atlantic nearctic",
    "pacific neotropic",
    "atlantic neotropic"
    ],
    "*-lanceleaf-*": [
    "atlantic nearctic"
    ],
    "*-coneflower-*": [
    "atlantic nearctic"
    ],
    "*-rayless-*": [
    "pacific nearctic"
    ],
    "*-seaoxeye-*": [
    "atlantic nearctic" 
    ]
  }
}

This puts ...
- Blackeyed Susan = Eastern North America
- Coreopsis = All of North and South America
- Dune Sunflower = All of North and South America
- Lanceleaf = Eastern North America
- Coneflower = Eastern North America
- Rayless = Western North America
- Seaside Oxeye Daisy = Eastern North America

Note the name tags might be a litle bit off for your flowers. But the biorealms should be correct. The complete list of all biorealms are ...

"NorthernRealms": [
      "pacific nearctic",
      "atlantic nearctic",
      "atlantic palearctic",
      "central palearctic",
      "eastern palearctic",
      "pacific palearctic"
    ],
    "SouthernRealms": [
      "pacific neotropic",
      "atlantic neotropic",
      "atlantic afrotropic",
      "eastern afrotropic",
      "australasian",
      "oceanic"
    ],

Hope this helps!

Besides looking forward to Biomes mod support, here are some ideas ...
- Common Zinnia (Zinnia elegans)
- Plains Zinnia (Zinnia grandiflora)
- Prairie Sunflower (Helianthus petiolaris)
- Sawtooth Sunflower (Helianthus grosseserratus)
- Swamp Sunflower (Helianthus angustifolius)
Thanks!

Midden thanks! That's really weird that it doesn't auto download. I'll try to figure out why it's not doing that.

Hoiocene probably. I'll change it in the update that's coming out today and hopefully that will fix it.

Hoiocene, 4 days ago

Love this mod! Should requiredOnClient be set to "true" in the modinfo.json for it to download on a server?

Midden, 4 days ago

Beautiful models! Excellent work!

One note - this mod doesn't automatically download for my server members - including when it updates.

Mobius thank you!

Very pretty flowers!!

Strelitzia , Aug 5th at 6:03 PM

NicSnickers thanks so much! Definitely want to expand into some ornamental colorations to provide variety.

Hydromancerx I'll get on it

Hydromancerx, Aug 5th at 5:00 PM (modified Aug 5th at 5:03 PM)

Please add support for the Biomes mod!
Thanks!

My recomended ranges are ...

Black Eyed Susan = Pacific Nearctic, Atlantic Nearctic
Coreopsis = Pacific Nearctic, Atlantic Nearctic

NicSnickers, Aug 5th at 5:18 AM

LOVE them! Rudbeckia 😍, wishlist - alternate colour variations, love the autumn coloured variants some of these have :)
