I’m making a mycology mod. It will add 20+ new mushroom variants with effects similar to real mushroom species, and a giant mushroom structure for each variant my mod adds. There will also be a Grow Box and a new villager profession to boot: The Mycologist! He will sell mushroom growing and foraging supplies. There is going to be a new dimension called The Fractal where you can find and battle my new boss fight, The Mushroom God, by finding and eating a Psilocybe mushroom. Not sure what he’ll drop yet, maybe you have some ideas (nothing too gamebreaking just something useful particularly for mushrooms). I’m also thinking I might add some fictional mushrooms to the nether for extra flare. If I do, they will also have potion effects and large variants. Perhaps one can give fire resistance. I also plan to add a growth mechanic like grass so mycelium can span large distances under grass. Occasionally these mycelium blocks will grow mushrooms off the top. I also plan to add fairy rings but I’m not sure if they should do anything. If they do I’m thinking probably a lesser boss fight like battle some fae creature or something.

In the future I hope to make a companion mod for ethnobotany. It would add real tree species to the game and would be able to interact with mushrooms somehow
Here some of what I have so far for textures.

Fabric for 1.20. Ideas are welcome. I’ve already added 7-9 new mushrooms, three of which grow in or come from another dimension. The Inky Magma Cap grows on magma in the nether and give fire resistance. The Hairy Chorus Spinellus grows on Chorus Trees in the end and teleports the player much like chorus fruit. Soul Cordyceps (name pending) consumes soul energy instead of bugs and grows on Soul Sand and Skulk because both contain souls. If touched, the fungus will inflict Soul Spore which saps exp until there is none left, and then feeds on health until death occurs.
Still kinda bad at coding so some help would be greatly appreciated. Dm me and I’ll share the project
