Minecraft's aesthetic is always an interesting topic: Simplistic and rudimentary in some ways, arguably even ugly at points, yet capable of producing some of the greatest visual spectacles in gaming. Oft-imitated but never bettered, the flexibility of its style can be almost impressionistic at times, its rudimentary shapes building into truly evocative landscapes.
The plants can look a bit crap though. The Minecraft modder Dark Storm clearly thinks along similar lines, as they've been working on a newly released pack called the Nature Revamp, which as the name suggests focuses on making all of the world's plant life and fungi a little bit nicer.
The mod can be downloaded here (opens in new tab) (Java edition only) and includes visual overhauls for pretty much everything you'd expect: flowers, mushrooms, vines, saplings, carrots, lilypads, lichen, blossoms and 'dead bush' whatever that is. The particularly horticultural among you may notice the absence of kelp, which is a frustration for Dark Storm: "I'd like to do kelp but since it's an animated texture I gotta figure out if I can make it work as a model first."
This will be a fine addition to our curated list of the best Minecraft mods (opens in new tab) around, even if it's not quite as exciting as adding hydras and death worms (opens in new tab).
