Ecoflux adds chunk-scale ecological succession to Minecraft. Every 16×16 chunk evolves independently — plants grow, mature, age, and die, and their collective vitality determines whether the biome advances (e.g. plains → forest) or regresses.

Features

Ecological Succession Each chunk matches a succession path based on its biome, temperature, and downfall. When total plant points exceed the consuming threshold, progress advances; otherwise it regresses. When the progress bar fills, the biome actually changes — plains become forests, forests become dark forests. 20 succession paths included.

Plant Lifecycle Flowers, saplings, trees, and mushrooms all follow a full lifecycle: BORN → JUVENILE → GROWING → MATURE → AGING → DEAD. Lifespan is configurable. Plants visibly grow from sprouts to mature forms, then wither and decay.

Progressive Tree Growth Saplings no longer grow instantly. Tracked saplings grow in stages over dozens of minutes using a space colonization algorithm. 9 tree species (oak, birch, spruce, cherry, jungle, dark oak, acacia, mangrove + 2×2 variants) and 2 huge mushroom types.

Data-Driven All succession paths, biome rules, and plant definitions are JSON-configurable. 64 biomes have independent plant ecosystem rules. Supports data pack overrides and /reload hot-reloading — no restart needed.

World Generation Integration Vanilla trees are replaced with custom trees during world generation. All vanilla vegetation is scanned and registered on chunk load, so succession begins naturally from day one in new worlds.

Getting Started

Install NeoForge 21.1.227+
Drop the JAR into .minecraft/mods/
Enter your world and run:
/ecoflux auto on
(The system is off by default — you must enable it manually)

Check status: /ecoflux auto status

Customization

All configs can be overridden via data packs. Place your JSON files under data/ecoflux/ in a data pack, then run /reload.

<your-datapack>/data/ecoflux/
├── succession_paths/       # Succession paths
├── biome_rules/minecraft/   # Biome plant rules
└── plant_definitions/      # Plant definitions

See the README for full documentation.

Notes

This is a Beta release — public testing, may contain bugs. Feedback welcome.

Ecoflux 为 Minecraft 带来区块尺度的生态演替系统。每一个 16×16 的区块都是一个独立的生态单元——植物会生长、成熟、衰老、死亡，它们的集体生命力推动群系向前演进（如草原→森林），也可能使土地退化。这个系统完全由 JSON 配置驱动，无需编写代码即可自定义。

核心机制

生态演替 每个区块根据当前群系、温度和湿度自动匹配演替路径。区块内所有植物都有自己的点数，当总点数超过"维持阈值"时，演替进度前进；反之则倒退。当进度条满，群系会真实替换——草原变成森林，森林变成黑森林（共 20 条默认路径）。

完整的植物生命周期 花、草、树苗、大树、蘑菇——每种植物都经历完整的生死循环：出生 → 幼年 → 生长 → 成熟 → 衰老 → 死亡。寿命由配置文件决定。植物到达寿命终点后会进入腐烂阶段，最终从世界消失。你可以亲眼看到植物从小苗长成成熟形态，然后逐渐枯萎。

渐进式树木生长 树苗不会再瞬间变成大树。被 Ecoflux 追踪的树苗会在数十分钟内分阶段逐步生长，使用空间定殖算法生成自然树形。支持 9 种树种（橡树、白桦、云杉、樱花、丛林、深色橡树、金合欢、红树 + 2×2 巨型变体）和 2 种巨型蘑菇（棕色/红色）。

完全数据驱动 所有演替路径、群系植物规则、植物属性均由 JSON 配置文件控制。64 个群系拥有独立的植物生态系统配置（植物种类、权重、密度上限、维持阈值）。支持通过数据包覆盖配置，执行 /reload 即可热重载，无需重启游戏。

世界生成无缝集成 在世界生成阶段，Ecoflux 会自动替换原版树木为自定义树，并在区块加载时扫描所有原版植被（花草、蘑菇等）纳入生命周期追踪。新生成的世界中，生态演替从第一天就开始自然运作。

快速开始

安装 NeoForge 21.1.227+
将 JAR 文件放入 .minecraft/mods/ 目录
进入世界后执行：
/ecoflux auto on
（系统默认关闭，必须手动开启才能生效）

检查状态：/ecoflux auto status

自定义配置

所有配置均可通过数据包覆盖。按以下结构将 JSON 文件放入数据包的 data/ecoflux/ 目录，然后执行 /reload 即可：

<你的数据包>/data/ecoflux/
├── succession_paths/       # 演替路径（源群系→目标群系、气候条件、演替速度）
├── biome_rules/minecraft/   # 群系植物规则（植物种类和权重、密度上限、维持阈值）
└── plant_definitions/      # 植物定义（寿命、点数、生成条件）

注意事项

这是 Beta 测试版，面向公众测试，可能存在 bug。欢迎反馈。
