Sage Brush — Enhanced Brush Capabilities

The Sage Brush modification significantly expands the functionality of the standard brush in Minecraft, adding various interactions with the game world and creatures.

Main Features

Now the brush can interact with objects that lack physical collision models — these include flowers, individual snow layers, and other similar blocks. In some cases, instead of standard dust particles, special effects may appear, for example when working with end rods or spore blossoms.

Block Interactions

• Blocks with polishable surfaces (diamond blocks, ores and others) emit gleam particles
• Snow blocks can be gradually cleared layer by layer
• Blocks from the sage_brush:removable list are completely removed when brushed without dropping any items

Entity Interactions

Feathered Creatures

Mobs marked with sage_brush:feathered and sage_brush:worse_feathered tags may drop feathers when brushed. The first group replenishes their feather supply faster. These creatures also emit feather particles during interaction.

Tamed Pets

Cats and dogs tamed by the player show joy when brushed — heart particles appear, and by default they may receive temporary health regeneration.

Exotic Animals

• Pandas: Weak and young individuals are forced to sneeze when brushed
• Turtles: Adult specimens can shed scutes approximately once every two days, while young turtles receive an increased number of scutes upon growing up

Configuration via Tags

The tag system allows fine-tuning of brush behavior:

• sage_brush:gleaming — blocks with gleam effect
• sage_brush:reduced_dust — blocks with reduced dust particles
• sage_brush:removable — blocks completely removable by brush
• Various tags for configuring feather and other visual effects

Requires Minecraft version 1.20.1 or higher and the Blueprint modification.
