"A pappus for the mass of us"

Features

By default, patches of fluffy dandelions may spawn in plains and forest biomes (with the configurable option to spawn in taiga biomes as well).

They spawn gently bobbing seed particles when not in rain. In certain biomes, the rate at which particles spawn may be increased (configurable).

Walking through fluffy dandelions may cause an additional flurry of seeds. This also works for other mobs, as well as projectiles/item entities.

Fluffy dandelions can alternatively be obtained by bone meal-ing normal dandelions.

This mod is mostly intended as practice for mixins and rudimentary 1.16.5 worldgen. That said, if you have any ideas/feedback to attach to the concept, please let me know! :)

Config

Fun fact: dandies are related to sunflowers. Their seeds could theoretically be pressed for oil in a similar fashion, but it's hundreds of times less efficient. :P Feel free to share any dandelion trivia you can find, please and thank!
