Butterbloom Hollows

Quickstart

1. Find the biome. Explore the Overworld until you reach the Butterbloom Hollows biome — recognisable by its purple grass, buttery yellow fog, and dark blue-purple water.
2. Gather wood. Chop a Butterbloom Log from a Butterbloom tree, then craft it into Butterbloom Planks in your inventory. Planks work in every vanilla recipe that calls for wood planks, so you can immediately make a full set of wooden tools, chests, and more.
3. Mine stone. Break the yellowish Butterstone and deep-purple Purple Stone found throughout the biome and its caves. These drop as cobbled forms that you can smelt back into smooth stone for brick-making.
4. Collect grapes. Harvest Grape Vines to obtain Grapes, which you can eat or craft into Grape Seeds for replanting.
5. Craft Margarine Chunks. Once you have a Margarine block (found or crafted), break it down into Margarine Chunks and use them to forge a full suit of Margarine armour.
6. Upgrade your Elytra. Combine an Elytra with Margarine items at a crafting table to produce Margarine Wings, then equip them and try Slippery Bounce Flight by crouching while gliding.

Overview

Butterbloom Hollows transforms sections of the Overworld into a lush, otherworldly meadow-and-cave biome wrapped in purple grass, yellow vines, and dark butter-toned water. The biome introduces two new wood types, two new stone families, a grape crop, a complete set of margarine-based armour, a unique pair of flight wings, and custom coloured creatures — all while preserving normal ore veins and mob populations so vanilla gameplay is uninterrupted. Submerging yourself in Butter fluid keeps the screen tinted a warm Buttered Up yellow, reinforcing the cohesive aesthetic throughout exploration.

What It Adds

Biome

• Butterbloom Hollows — purple-grassed surface meadows with buttery caves, dark blue-purple water and fog, Yellow and Purple Vines, and Butter fluid.

Trees & Wood

Butterbloom Planks are tagged as vanilla planks and work in any recipe that calls for wood planks.

Stone Families

Butterstone (yellow)

• Butterstone · Cobbled Butterstone · Butterbloom Stone Bricks
• Each has Stairs, Slab, and Wall variants
• Smelt Cobbled Butterstone → Butterstone

Purple Stone

• Purple Stone · Cobbled Purple Stone · Purple Stone Bricks
• Each has Stairs, Slab, and Wall variants
• Smelt Cobbled Purple Stone → Purple Stone

Crops & Food

• Grape Vines grow in the biome and drop Grapes when harvested.
• Craft 1 Grape → 2 Grape Seeds for replanting.
• Grape Block stores 9 Grapes in one block; break or craft it to recover them.
• Pop Rocks — a snack crafted from Purple Sulfur and Margarine Chunks.

Margarine & Armour

• Margarine block compresses/decompresses with Margarine Chunks (9 chunks ↔ 1 block).
• Full Margarine Armour set: Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots — all crafted from Margarine Chunks.
• Armour can be repaired with Margarine Chunks.

Margarine Wings

• Convert an Elytra into Margarine Wings, preserving any enchantments.
• Enable a special Slippery Bounce Flight mode.

Decorative Flora & Fluid

• Yellow Vines and Purple Vines
• Purple Daisy flower
• Butter fluid (with Butter Bucket) — swimming in it applies the Buttered Up yellow screen overlay.

Creatures

Abilities And Mechanics

Slippery Bounce Flight

Equip Margarine Wings in the chestplate slot (they replace an Elytra). While gliding, crouch to activate Slippery Bounce mode. In this mode:

• Hitting a wall redirects your trajectory and launches you outward with an extra push.
• Camera turns are smooth with no teleport-like stutter.
• Each bounce triggers a cooldown before the next can occur.
• Bounce speed remains constant regardless of approach angle.

This makes cave navigation and cliff-hopping feel fluid and intentional.

Butter Fluid

Butter fluid flows through Butterbloom Hollow caves. Submerging in it tints your screen a bright Buttered Up yellow. Purple Creepers that touch it receive a Speed boost.

Margarine Armour Repair

Any Margarine armour piece can be repaired in an anvil using Margarine Chunks.

Progression And Strategy

Early game: The Butterbloom Hollows biome spawns in the Overworld, so you can reach it before any special equipment. Prioritise chopping Butterbloom Logs — the planks substitute for all vanilla wood, giving you a quick head start on tools and crafting stations. Mine Butterstone and Purple Stone while underground; these smelt back to smooth form for polished brick builds.

Mid game: Once you have enough Margarine Chunks, craft the full four-piece Margarine Armour set for solid protection. Keep spare chunks on hand for repairs. Harvest Grape Vines for food and replant with Grape Seeds to establish a crop near your base. Grape Blocks let you store bulk harvests efficiently.

Late game / Flight: The highest-tier reward is converting an Elytra (with any enchantments already on it) into Margarine Wings. With these equipped, Slippery Bounce Flight turns cave systems and cliff faces from obstacles into launch pads — crouch while gliding toward a wall to ricochet off it and gain a speed burst in the new direction. Planning your approach angles lets you traverse the hollow caves at high speed with minimal rocket usage.

Building: The two stone families each provide three tiers (raw, cobbled, brick) with stairs, slabs, and walls — offering a wide palette of warm-yellow and cool-purple block combinations. Pair them with Butterbloom wood for a complete interior and exterior build set unique to this biome.
