📋 About This Mod
A mystical, moonlit retexture and mesh tweak of the Cathedral 3D Nightshade plant. Two color variants and new 3D stamen!
TECHNICAL DETAILS
As of 1. 1, the original Cathedral 3D Nightshade mod is no longer required. Nightshades now have lightweight 3D stamen with some UV fixes as well. Please do still go give the original mod a download and an endorsement as this one would not have been possible without it and without the very generous open permissions.

✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 835 endorsements and a quarter-million downloads—clearly a hit.
- Two color variants give you options to match your game's aesthetic.
- The new 3D stamen adds a nice touch of realism and detail.
⚠️ Cons
