📋 About This Mod
WATERPLANTS
Immersion to your rivers and lakes
This Plugin is clean and script-free It won't harm anything :)
Replaced old textures with better textures from LupusHegemonia
There are now quite a few good mods for Grass, so I recommend using the Lilly-only version.
I will continue to patch the full version from time to time though.
1. Install the Lily-Only-Version
2. Optional: Install a texture replacer if you want. e.g. that of Pfuscher.
3. Optional: Install "Animated Water Lily"
