One and Only is a biome overhaul mod made to breathe new life into your deserts (and badlands).

The Trees

This mod introduces two NEW wood sets to change up your building palette:

• Zaytun: These are short, stubby trees featuring a wood color that sits somewhere between black and prismarine. They come with elegant door and trapdoor designs!

•  Flamepalm: A bright yellow wood set that stands out in the desert, complete with tropical doors and trapdoors.

Foods and Items

This mod adds a variety of food items:

•  Olives: Harvested from Zaytun leaves (roughly one per ten leaves). You can turn these into olive oil, which is then used to craft functional olive oil lamps.

•  Maryam Dates: A new fruit that grows on Flamepalm trees, and funfact! it's a real world fruit grown in Medina, Saudi Arabia!    

•  Ajwa Dates: These are the rare, golden counterpart to Maryam dates. Eating one grants you the Poison Antidote effect that lasts for a full 20 minutes. 

• Zamzam Water Bottles: These are not your ordinary drink. When consumed, you can pick any combination of one positive and one negative effect. While standard potions are easier to obtain, Zamzam water is a powerful alternative for when you haven't traveled to the Nether to start brewing yet. BUT, they only spawn in desert temples.

Blocks and Mechanics

Beyond the foodie goodness, this mod adds many new decorative and functional blocks:

• Cactus: You can now strip cactuses to collect Cactus Spines. These are a replacement for flint when crafting arrows. You can also place them down to create deadly traps or spikes for your palisades. If you use a bottle on a stripped cactus, you can dry it out to collect water.

• Illumina: This is a new, crystalline ore found throughout the overworld, not just the desert. It functions similarly to quartz and provides a huge blockset and functional blocks. 

• Marble: This is a new igneous rock that feature a new blockset, and a projectile, marble pellets.

• Henna Bushes: A new crop that drops henna blossoms. These can be crafted into henna clumps, which can be turned into decorative blocks of henna or smelted into henna bricks. These bricks come with their own full sets of stairs, slabs, and chiseled variants.

• Tumbleweed: A new item for crafting string that can also be placed on every block with a solid top, not just full blocks but not blocks like comparators either, but blocks like upside down slabs and stairs.

• Agave: A new plant that can be right clicked with a bottle to get Agave Nectar, a sweeter version of honey! And you can harvest them with a hoe.

• Gossyp: The scientific name for cotton plants. They drop Cotton, which is an item that can be crafted into string.

• Ocotillo: This plant functions just like sweet berry bushes, except that it's for the desert.

Mobs and Creatures:

This mod adds a new mob, with more mobs I might add in the future:

• Thorner: It looks like a cactus with two small legs that currently do not move as it walks (trying to fix that) and a creeper face in the front. It can be bred with bone meal and hurts you when you collide with it. It drops cactus spines.
