00:00Welcome back to another Luan Team Mod review. Today we are looking at the Ellie's Flowers Mod.

00:06Now this mod adds, was it 27, I think, at time of recording at least, new types of flowers.

00:15And these are all based off of, oh this is really a bad spot to be standing, let's get the sun on my back, that's better.

00:21These are all based off of real life flowers.

00:24What was it called? The information is sourced from the National Audubon Society's Wildflowers of North America Handbook.

00:35So, I'm thinking that means these are all native to North America flowers.

00:43I am familiar with some.

00:45So, most of these flowers, well, I shouldn't say that, all of these flowers, here we have a quick overview of them,

00:53will spawn in the more or less biomes realistically.

00:57The spawns are based on real life taxonomy.

01:01And then they do also give you, for all, but I thought one didn't have it.

01:08Oh, maybe, maybe I'm mistaken.

01:09They give you the, oh yeah, this one here, the Evening Primrose.

01:12I don't see the, is that the Latin name for them?

01:16But the other ones here all have the Latin names.

01:22I don't know what the capital letter in the period is.

01:27Like, I don't, I don't know, I don't know any Latin, so I don't know what that means.

01:30However, I did want to, where's the bleeding heart?

01:33Western Bleeding Heart.

01:35De Formosa.

01:37I don't actually know where that is here.

01:39I know I put one out, because I put some of all of them out.

01:42I didn't want to take a look at the Bleeding Hearts, because, no, that's not the Bleeding

01:46Heart.

01:47Oh, here we go.

01:49Okay, I mean, that's not, that is not a bad representation of what a Bleeding Heart looks

01:55like.

01:55My mom used to have these growing up as a kid.

01:58She had Bleeding Hearts in the front yard.

01:59They're the coolest plants, man.

02:02The, I think it's the flower.

02:04They, they look just like this.

02:06Obviously not pixely, but their hearts with like little teardrops at the bottom of them,

02:12this little white part.

02:14I, I had forgotten Bleeding Hearts were a thing until I downloaded this Montreview.

02:19I'm like, oh, I remember those.

02:21Those were the coolest.

02:22I don't know, uh, I don't know where she got them from or anything about them.

02:29Ah, that's better.

02:29I just made it daytime real quick.

02:31Oh yes, look at the beautiful glow.

02:34It's probably not so beautiful.

02:35So let's check out some of these flowers real quick.

02:38Um, I don't know the, the real names to them, um, but I can give you at least what the mod

02:44name, or node name is.

02:46So here we have the pink yarrow.

02:49Um, yarrow sounds kind of familiar to me, but I don't know why.

02:52We have a marshmallow, um, they used to make marshmallows with something from marshmallow,

03:00but I don't remember what.

03:02Chamomile, uh, you can use that for tea.

03:05Uh, lavender, that does look like lavender, lavender cookies.

03:08I don't like them by the way, but, uh, lavender cookies are a thing.

03:12Pagonia, Pagonia Rose, not familiar.

03:17Forget Me Nots, yes.

03:19I don't know enough about Forget Me Nots, I don't know if that looks like a forget me

03:21or not.

03:22Siberian Chive, that actually, yes, chive is delicious.

03:25I do enjoy me some chive.

03:27African Marigold.

03:27I don't think we can eat these.

03:29No, no, we can't.

03:30Most of the flowers can be, I am in creative, by the way.

03:33Most of the flowers can be turned into dyes.

03:35African Marigolds.

03:37Black Eyed Susan.

03:38Yeah, that looks more or less like it should.

03:40Poppy.

03:41I don't, I thought poppies were more red.

03:43I don't know.

03:43I know you can make opium out of poppies.

03:45That's probably going to get this video demonetized, but that's fine, because I don't monetize

03:47these.

03:48Evening Primrose.

03:50Desert Phlox.

03:52Cold Desert Phlox.

03:53This, surprise, surprise, naturally spawns in in cold deserts.

03:58Indian Paintbrush.

04:00Motherflower, I'm not familiar with.

04:01The Bleeding Heart, as already seen.

04:04Some more Phlox, but these are not the cold desert variety.

04:07They're just the normal variety, I guess.

04:09Crocus.

04:11Mm-hmm.

04:12We have Bergamot.

04:14I don't know what that is.

04:15The Fireweed.

04:16Now, this is the only one that I noticed that has growth stages to it, and I don't, oh.

04:29There we go.

04:30So we have Fireweed.

04:32That's Fireweed 2.

04:33Fireweed 3.

04:34Wait, what's this one?

04:38This is Fireweed.

04:40Then we have Fireweed 3.

04:42Fireweed 3.

04:44Fireweed 2.

04:45So they're just, it must not be growth.

04:47It's just different, different versions of it.

04:52And now, this is the only one I found that when you place it in creative, it removes itself

04:59from inventory.

05:01You know, normally when you're in creative mode, you can break something and then place

05:04it infinite.

05:05This one, you can't.

05:07But I think that's just because it's placing one of multiple different styles.

05:12So, yeah, there's the Fiberweed.

05:14Foxglove.

05:15I thought Foxglove was, like, really poisonous.

05:17I could be wrong.

05:17Hibiscus Hyacinth, which this one actually looks kind of similar to the blue flower

05:26that's, no wait, that's not, that's another Hyacinth.

05:30I think it looks similar to the blue flower that's naturally in my test game.

05:35Although it is worth mentioning that this will work with my test game, Minecolonia, and

05:40Meesecraft, potentially others as well.

05:43But those are the listed supported games on the content database.

05:47We have some Larkspur here.

05:50What is this now?

05:52Dame's Rocket.

05:54I was going to say it almost looked like Queen Anne's Lace.

05:58Too small for Queen Anne's Lace, but that same kind of a style flower to it.

06:03Arctic Poppies.

06:04Yellow Flag.

06:05Wait, Yellow Flag.

06:07Yeah, Yellow Flag.

06:08And Yellow Bell.

06:09I didn't know these were called Yellow Bells.

06:13I thought they were, um, something else.

06:16Now, most of these, as previously alluded to, you can craft into dyes.

06:22Anyways, I am a little confused, uh, with the Fire Weed, because this one lists that you

06:30can get magenta or white dye out of it, which, as we all know, that's not really how the whole

06:38crafting system works.

06:39So, how can I get pink and white out of this?

06:42I don't know.

06:43So, we're going to find out really quickly.

06:46Yellow Bell gives me yellow.

06:48Okay.

06:50That's not what I wanted to click on.

06:52So, the recipes here.

06:54The Bleeding Heart says we get pink and we get white.

06:58So, we're going to grab some Bleeding Hearts.

07:02Just a couple of them, you know.

07:03Um, okay, and we get pink.

07:06There's not a leftover of white.

07:12Okay.

07:14I have a feeling these are probably just all being registered via some sort of loop.

07:22And because there is different groups to them.

07:24So, if I do, uh, recipes and we go to dye, and then we go to red dyes, we will find anything

07:33in red flower group produces red dye.

07:36But then if we go to white dye, we will see that anything in red flower, uh, sorry, anything

07:42in white flower group produces white.

07:44So, if we do group flower red.

07:51Okay.

07:52Okay.

07:53Glue, group red flower, is it maybe?

07:59Any white flower?

08:01Any?

08:04Well, let's try this.

08:06Group flower.

08:06That doesn't even show anything.

08:08Well, that's interesting.

08:12Oh, because I'm, maybe I'm looking wrong.

08:14Nothing shows a group flower.

08:19That's weird.

08:21Doesn't, doesn't just search groups?

08:26Hmm, maybe it doesn't.

08:27Well, anyways, my assumption here is that these flowers are in multiple groups.

08:35Therefore, it shows multiple different crafting outputs from the same input.

08:40Which, again, as we know, does not work.

08:44Um, but yeah, so they can be used to make different dyes.

08:49And, again, they do naturally spawn in, in the correct biomes for real world.

08:55So, we see here, we got a bunch of them in the, I think we're just in a grasslands area

09:01here.

09:02Um, where was that cold desert?

09:06There was a desert around here someplace.

09:07Maybe it was back this way.

09:10Yeah, here we go.

09:11Desert back this way.

09:13There should be some of the cold desert flocks.

09:16I think up on this mountain range.

09:20Oh, no, right over here.

09:22I think.

09:23Pretty sure.

09:24There must be some, yeah, there's some islands up there.

09:27I know I, well, that's not a cold desert.

09:29Well, I know I saw some in a cold desert here someplace.

09:33So, they are spawning in the, oh, maybe it's up ahead.

09:35They are spawning in as is expected.

09:38As is expected.

09:40Say that ten times fast.

09:42Wow.

09:42Oh, you know, it was probably right here.

09:44Yep, there we go.

09:44Look at the cold desert flocks on the cold desert.

09:49What a nice change of scenery from these dead shrubs.

09:53Again, this mod does support, or is available for however you want to phrase it, MindTest

10:01Game, and therefore any of MindTest Game's derivatives, Meesecraft, and MindColonia.

10:07If you are interested in adding it to your worlds, you can find it on the in-game content browser,

10:13or if you want to download and install it manually for whatever reason,

10:17I will have all of those links on my website, which will be linked in the video description below.
