Description
The big dripleaf is a large leafy plant found in caves and wet environments that gives a dramatic natural feature for interior cave gardens and slow motion traps. It looks like a flat wide leaf and it can support the weight of a player while tilting and then returning to position which creates a fun movement based mechanic. The plant collects water on its surface which then drips off onto the block below which ties into cave water systems and creates a damp natural aesthetic. Big dripleaf is useful for builders who want moving scenery because it reacts to player weight and can be used for slow fall systems or for simple puzzles where pressure triggers movement. It also contributes to cave decoration and works well with glow berries and other cave plants to create lush underground scenes. Because it grows in specific cave biomes the big dripleaf helps identify special underground areas and gives map makers a tool to design interesting vertical spaces that feel alive. The plant is also a renewable resource because it grows from small dripleaf plants which you can harvest and replant in suitable cave like conditions.
