i have seen a distinct lack of plant variety in the game (i believe 9 plants total although i might have missed one or two) and so i got to thinking about posting an FRF about more plant variety
i was thinking add more speified tree types that drop fruits (i for one would like to see a forest of cherry blossoms) ofcourse they would drop from breaking leaves and have the same drop rate that apples currently do (for those of you that dont know in the 1.1 update they added apples droping from breaking leaves on the standard tree) i was thinking that they would be the same as the standard trees are now only the color of the leaves would change to match the type of fruit dropped. yes i know that this would require more sapling types too (alternatively take and use the current system that pumpkins have where if the pumpkin (or in this case fruit) is crafted on its own it creates 4 seeds) also maybe bushes? anyways heres the types of fruit i was thinking of (open to addition or subtraction)
apple (modefy tree leaves for apples)
orange
cherry (pink)
blueberry
banana
strawberry (also red but its a bush not a tree)
You do realize applse do exist right? There is a 1/200 chance of applse coming from oak leaves.
And more plants would be nice. I need to make the best farm in the world. Maybe add cabbage. Got the idea from a mod i saw. Maybe you could also have lemons. Wait, how do lemons grow. I never knew where lemons came from. Anyways, carrot would be interesting too. You should think more about veggies.
Would each of these plants have a unique purpose or would they just be there for variety, because I think simple variety is better left to mods.
i was thinking add more food variety and also for decoration (as i said i would love to see a forest of cherry trees)
pies stews ect.
hmmm perhaps also add a durability factor to different wood types? IE apple tree wood is stronger then cherry tree wood so a tool made with apple tree sticks would last a bit longer? instead of having the current system of making 4 sticks out of 2 planks change it to 16 sticks out of 2 wood (it is equivilant 1 wood = 4 planks = 8 sticks so 2 wood = 16 sticks) this is would require individual types of sticks (although maybe leave the plank method in to have a general stick aswell (would be weakest type)) only have a general plank type (i would love to see individual plank types but that might be going overboard)

I don't like mods. It makes me feel like i'm cheating. If it was in the game, i would feel like its aproved by notch. I just want to have a normal game.

hope other people like the idea!
(sorry for spelling im not the best writer)
If you want to say something to me, make sure you quote my post because I don't usually check back on topics.
I like the idea but it just may be a little too much. I kinda like plants the way they are right now
i would much preffer this to be completely in game then a mod
i dont see how it would be too much. but meh everyones entitled to there own opinion.
