Cave sprouts are a hardy plant that thrive underground. They have direction rotation, so you can place them on all sides of a block.

Using the existing surface_caves layer, I added some new surface cave biomes which replace the regular cave/slate/base:

Surface slate cave: Features a lot of cave sprouts and some clay patches.
image

Mossy slate cave: Features cave sprouts and moss.

The other slate caves also have a chance for some cave sprouts to appear, but it's not as common as on the surface.

What about marble caves? They only spawn until -512, this now effectively halves their occurences.

Does the ceiling not support flower patches? (or did you explicitly not want to use them?)

I just assumed it didn't without trying it and used simple vegetation. But it appears to not work.

image I'm happy with how it looks with simple vegetation though.

It's still a missing capability that should be addressed, this won't be the last time someone wants to put vegetation on the ceiling

Yes, I just mean I don't really want it to be a blocker.

Did I miss something? It has .{.shallow_cave_layer, .surface_caves_layer} so shouldn't that let it spawn in the surface caves as well as the shallow caves?
