Tumbleweed Wilds
Quickstart
- In Survival, gather four dead bushes and craft a tumbleweed:
- Use that tumbleweed with four cactus blocks to craft a cactus variant. Each recipe places the tumbleweed in the center, with cactus above, below, left, and right.
- Place a variant like a regular cactus, but take care: its spines damage entities that brush against it.
- To meet the wildlife, explore deserts or badlands. Watch out for Mumesy, a hostile creeper.
Overview
Tumbleweed Wilds brings desert wildlife and craftable cactus variants to the game. Its creatures spawn naturally in deserts, badlands, eroded badlands, and wooded badlands.
What It Adds
| Content | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Mumesy | A hostile creeper variant with a fuse and blast. |
| Vulture | A desert creature that can drop 1–3 feathers and has a chance to drop a tumbleweed. |
| Meerkat | A desert creature that can drop rabbit hide or a tumbleweed. |
| Tumbleweed | A crafting item used to make three cactus variants. |
| Sunspike, Moonbloom, and Ironbark Cactus | Placeable cactus blocks with damaging spines. |
How To Use
Explore desert and badlands biomes to find vultures and meerkats, and stay alert for Mumesy. Mumesy can drop gunpowder and sometimes a tumbleweed; vultures and meerkats may also drop tumbleweeds.
Place the cactus variants where you want them, keeping their spines in mind. Brushing against one causes damage. Sunspike has the mildest spines, Moonbloom is stronger, and Ironbark is strongest.
Crafting And Obtaining
Craft a tumbleweed from four dead bushes. Vultures, meerkats, and Mumesy can also drop one.
Each cactus recipe uses four cactus blocks around one tumbleweed:
- Ironbark Cactus:
- Moonbloom Cactus:
- Sunspike Cactus:
Abilities And Mechanics
The cactus variants damage entities that touch them. Their spine damage increases from Sunspike to Moonbloom to Ironbark. Mumesy behaves like a creeper, so give it space when its fuse begins.
