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)

-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!
Sure, that would be for a different mod though. I'll add them to my planning list!
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.
Oh awesome! I'm on the discord too under a different name, I probably should change my name and get verified as a mod creator.
Helianthus tuberosus? People eat it's tuber! :)
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!
Thanks so much! I also figured out that I needed to call the file "biomes2" instead of just "biomes" and it works now. It'll be in the next update.
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!
I was actually gonna suggest zinnias as well... and maybe give them a bunch of color variants?
I would suggest Jerusalem artichokes but another mod has beaten you out.
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.
It worked! Thanks!!
Love this mod! Should requiredOnClient be set to "true" in the modinfo.json for it to download on a server?
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!!
NicSnickers thanks so much! Definitely want to expand into some ornamental colorations to provide variety.
Hydromancerx I'll get on it
Thank you! Cannot wait!
Please add support for the Biomes mod!
Thanks!
My recomended ranges are ...
Black Eyed Susan = Pacific Nearctic, Atlantic Nearctic
Coreopsis = Pacific Nearctic, Atlantic Nearctic
LOVE them! Rudbeckia 😍, wishlist - alternate colour variations, love the autumn coloured variants some of these have :)
