What does this mod do?
This mod adds three forageable plants and their associated foods.
Chicory is a hardy, pale blue flower that can survive just about anywhere, but sometimes takes two years to mature. Its roots are long and brown and make good puree and soups. It's more common in open areas, but its temperature resistance means it can be found from beaches to mountaintops.
Sunchoke, or Jerusalem Artichoke, is not an artichoke and it is not from Jerusalem. It is a tall yellow-orange flower that appears in clumps and produces small tubers. It is very prolific and easy to cultivate, though not as filling as other forage. Like chicory, you're more likely to find it in open areas.
Ube, or purple yam, is a tuber that loves hot and humid climates. It is easily recognised by its bright purple roots and delicate purple flowers. It's very filling for a wild plant, and has a lovely sweet and starchy flavour.
All three count as vegetables for the purpose of meals. They are suitable for pies but not for pickling.
You can also craft decorative versions of all three of these plants.
Why version 0.5?
Because I haven't added meal compatibility with Expanded Foods, and I haven't added Chicory Coffee.
Details
This mod is safe to add to existing worlds, but you will not find the plants until you explore new chunks. Each plant has a 1/20 chance per chunk of generating in groups if the location has a suitable temperature and climate.
The roots need to be dug up to harvest them! You cannot just hold right click to harvest these plants. In exchange, harvesting chicory and ube has a 1/20 chance of granting you an extra seed tuber, and sunchoke has a 25% chance of doing so.
This mod is compatible with world gen mods, including Biomes.

Hi weirdcress, the plants and their generation should work on 1.20.12, but the cooking recipes and visual appearance in meals will be hit and miss because of changes to cooking and cooking pots in the 1.21.x updates. Thanks
I just tested it, the chicory seems to be growing just fine in a 1.20.12 world, i expect i'll encounter the other ones
Yesss some of my favorite plants!
Anyone know if it's compatible with 1.20.x? I've been playing using version 1.20.12 because some of my mods aren't updated to the latest version...
Hopefully these'll be/become compatible with Wildcraft Revival since I'm quite excited to do plantation-scale production of all of these. Chicory in particular is a favorite drink of mine IRL!
Sunconure11 I don't plan to add them as crops, but you can cultivate these plants just by harvesting them. Over time, you'll accumulate extra seed tubers which you can plant and grow. You can also make your own version of the mod, add a recipe that lets you craft seed tubers, or make a patch that adds them as crops, as I've licensed this under CC-BY 4.0.
Will we ever be able to grow them as crops? Given that people cultivate these three crops IRL.
Got this cajun restaurant where I live that serves chicory coffee, love it.
Used to be able to get sunchoke pasta, too, not that I need wheat alternatives, I just thought it tasted better.
I think we all know about ube/taro (IMO, best description of the flavor I've heard is like the milk leftover from a bowl of sugary cereal)
Either way, I know this means the sunchoke and ube could likely be processed into dough. Kinda think we could use a confections mod now.
I'll be adding this to my world after an update or two as I used to rely on wildcraft herbs and spices, but it's become tedious trying to keep that functional in my games.
v0.6.0 released:
Added decorative flower blocktypes and recipes. Combining a seed tuber with one compost makes a decorative flower of the type of plant. Thanks egoanditspwn for the suggestion.
Added biomes compatibility. Added a single file, config/biomes.json, which allows the 3 plants to generate in fitting biomes added by the biomes mod. Thanks Hydromancerx Ikaahi Introdile for the suggestion, and Tentharchitect for help with implementation.
All plants now have random rotation, like vanilla plants. This helps large patches of forage look less repetitive.
i see chicory all around in real life, seeing it in game feels almost like its always been there. i love it! do you think it's possible we could get a recipe for the flowering versions as decorational non-growing flowers?
I love chicory. Thank you!
Instant download, just for ube. I'd love to see biomes support too!
