Description
Muddy mangrove roots are the knobbly root blocks that appear around mangrove trees where water meets land. They add character to mangrove swamp shores and make the shoreline look tangled and alive. The roots can be placed to create natural looking shorelines and piers and they help build atmospheric scenes where water and tree meet. They are also useful in landscaping because their irregular shape makes them perfect for hiding small trenches, for creating natural fences and for building rustic docks. The muddy root texture pairs well with mangrove planks and with mud blocks to make cohesive coastal settlements and they look excellent when combined with aquatic plants and hanging foliage. In survival these roots are easy to find near mangrove trees and they are renewable as mangrove trees regrow. Players use roots to suggest age and complexity in their builds and to make borders that look organic and lived in rather than purely built. When placed carefully roots can create shallow walkways that look like they were formed by nature and which encourage exploration of a wild shoreline.
