Items

Corundum

A new resource found in caves with the same rarity as diamonds, but much more common in plains biomes. Used in most new recipes and for creating explosion-proof blocks.

Corundum Amulet

Temporarily increases your survivability when used.

Corundum Abrasive

Allows repairing tools on the go but removes all enchantments.

Corundum Chisel

Turns various stone blocks into bricks when right-clicked (if the tool is in the main hand), and into their carved versions (if in the off-hand).

Corundum Machete

Most effectively destroys foliage and serves as a good weapon. Especially useful for destroying magnolia foliage.

Corundum Hayfork

Effectively destroys mossy blocks while extracting moss cover. Can also be used as a shovel.

Diamond and Netherite Multi Tools

Standard multi-tools. Besides efficiently mining any blocks, they can chop wood, create paths, and dig up beds (if the tool is in the off-hand).

Corundum Sword

An enhanced version of the netherite sword. Has improved stats and increases experience gained in combat.

Corundum Sack

A small bag for carrying items. Has a built-in trash can and does not burn in fire.

Feathered Helmet

Increases movement speed when equipped.

Corundum Bio Recycling Station

A device for processing plant and natural materials (seeds, saplings, rotten flesh) into mysterious fruits. Eating fruits grants experience.

Ancient Corundum Pickaxe

Crafted after defeating the Corundum Guardian. Has 3 levels: first - effective but not very durable pickaxe; second (requires netherite ingot) - high mining speed; third (requires netherite alloy) - mines a 3×3 area at high speed. Holding SHIFT allows mining one block at a time.

Reverse and Positive Transformers

Reverse transformer turns one valuable resource into three less valuable ones. Positive transformer combines three identical resources into one more valuable resource.

Flora

Meadow Moss

Covers both earth and stone. Moss cover can be mined with a shovel by right-clicking the block. Spreads with bone meal (be careful - can replace any blocks).

Vegetation

New biomes contain many plants. Meadow spikes are grown with bone meal, and Achillea Millefolium and Fluffy Flower can grow into giant versions with magnolia pollen.

Meadow Grapes

A two-block plant with and without berries. Grapes can be turned into seeds and planted on any land. Has 3 growth stages, harvest is collected by right-clicking. Fertilized with bone meal.

Magnolia

A new tree type - the main source of magnolia flowers. To grow, apply magnolia pollen to the sapling. When foliage is destroyed, Wild Magnolia may appear. Many decorative blocks can be created from the wood.

Meadow Tree

The main source of meadow fruits. Also requires magnolia pollen for cultivation. When foliage is destroyed, Fruti may appear.

Frosty Mandarin

A fruit with a unique acquisition method: defrost a block similar to packed ice using a heated thermal stone. Look for ice blocks with different textures in cold biomes.

Meadow Turnip

Found in Onion Meadows. Can be replanted into the ground by holding Shift. Can be turned into seeds for planting in the garden.

Mobs

Meadow Rodent

Inhabits plains biomes. Has several types. Tamed with watermelons or meadow fruits. Tamed rodents can be bred and fed with meadow fruit syrup. Young are raised with watermelon seeds. Feeding syrup gives various golden foods.

Tundra Rodent

A rodent species from cold biomes. Tamed with frosty mandarins. Feeding with cooling syrup gives items similar to meadow rodents but with higher probability. Young are raised with pumpkin seeds.

Ratat

Aggressive creature spawning at night in plains biomes. Hostile to Terrorbird. Can create your own Ratata by feeding a tamed rodent with specific syrup. Further feeding gives dubious items.

Terrorbird

Found in small groups in plains biomes. Neutral to player but hunts meadow rodents, sheep, and pigs. Can raise your own: find an egg in Corundum Meadows, place it in a feather nest, and heat with a heated thermal stone until hatching. Feed with rodent meat until adulthood. Adult bird with a special saddle becomes a fast mount that carries items, helps in combat, and exchanges meat for resources.

Hawk Moth Caterpillars

Found in forest and plains biomes. When fed foliage, they cocoon, allowing you to summon your own hawk moth.

Hawk Moths

4 types: Moon Hawk, Forest Hawk, Wine Hawk, and Dead Head. Inhabit different biomes. Give magnolia flowers in exchange for various basic items, including magnolia pollen. Dead Head requires dried magnolia flowers and gives different items. Can get caterpillar eggs of each type to raise your own hawk moths.

Fruti

Timid and rare creature. When fed fortified syrup, turns into Poofy.

Poofy (Skiploom)

When fed golden meadow fruit, grants luck for 3 minutes.

Living Turnip

New mob from Onion Meadows. May appear when harvesting meadow turnip. Pollination with magnolia pollen gives a bulb flower - a good healing remedy.

Eared Sniffer

Inhabits Onion Meadows. Hunts living turnip. When fed turnip, defends the area from monsters for several minutes like a golem. When killing, may break off a claw, which is used to make a needle for creating healing patches.

Mushroom Crab

Lives in Mushroom Meadows. When fed mushrooms, may give bone meal or gunpowder (if nether mushrooms).

White Catfish

Found in river reservoirs. When fed kelp, may give its roe. Young catfish can be scooped with a bucket, summoned with roe, and raised with kelp.

Elk Buffalo

Inhabits cold biomes. Neutral to player. Tamed with frosty mandarins. Tamed buffalo can be fitted with one of two saddle types or trimmed with scissors. Cargo saddle makes it a heavy lift mount, armored saddle makes it a combat unit attacking everything in its path.

Tamed buffalo can be bred (only without saddles). Young growth is accelerated with wheat or wheat blocks. When maturing, drops a horn used to make a helmet with high knockback resistance.

Ancient Titanium Turtle

Found in plains biomes. Neutral to player. Tamed with mysterious fruits, then allows using corundum chisel to chip off shell pieces, which are smelted into turtle shield or used for turtle power potion.

Shell fragments upgrade turtle shell: such helmet gives increased protection but slows movement; in water, slowdown disappears and underwater breathing appears.

Mossy Golem

Found on plains, attacks all monsters protecting the area. Can be found sleeping and carried as a statue, revived and healed with bulb flower.

Famine

Extremely unpleasant creatures from arid biomes. Larvae and adults cause hunger in nearby players. Larvae often hide in crops and beds. Adults rarely drop mandibles used to make a sword that removes healing effects and applies hunger to target.

Blooming Zombie and Wild Magnolia

Interconnected monsters. Wild Magnolia hunts in groups for zombies and players, turning them into blooming zombies that help spread the bloom. Blooming zombie does not burn in sunlight and summons 1-3 Wild Magnolia upon death. Both monsters are extremely vulnerable to fire.

Corundumit

Fairly rare mob mostly spawning in caves. Avoids player. Source of corundum and rarely a music disc.

Corundum Guardian

New boss. Found in most plains biomes when deactivated. Activates when player gets too close. With proper equipment, not a great threat but should not be underestimated. Immune to most ranged weapons, can periodically accelerate, create explosive crystals, and self-heal.

After defeat, the pilot appears. Must choose: kill or spare (right-click), which determines the reward.
