Biodiversity Blitz

Plots

Players are divided into two teams, each with their own plot to plant on.

Biodiversity Points

Every so often, each team is awarded a number of Biodiversity Points. The amount of points received reflects how biodiverse each team's plot is. The more diverse selection of plants in a plot, the more Biodiversity Points a team receives.

Plants

So, why not just plant one of each? Well, some plants are worth more to biodiversity than others. Plus, each plant has a special power! Some plants explode to stop incoming threats, some plants make enemies glow, and yet others are useful for other purposes.

• Seeds: Gives biodiversity points
• Grass: Slows down incoming mobs
• Bramble, Sweet berry seeds: Grows into a plant that harms mobs when they walk through it
• Crocosmia flower: Lights nearby mobs on fire
• Commelina Diffusa flower: Puts out fires, damages nearby mobs with fire
• Iris: Makes nearby mobs glow
• Melon: Explodes when mobs come too close
• Bromeliad: Slowly kills mobs that walk nearby
• Magic Mushroom: Gives more points when mobs die near it
• Pumpkin: Attracts mobs, but eventually breaks
• Jack o'Lantern: Scares nearby mobs away, but must be reset after triggering
• Wither Rose: Applies the Wither effect to mobs that touch it
• Birch Sapling: Grows into a birch tree (gives lots of biodiversity points)
• Oak Sapling: Grows into an oak tree (gives lots of biodiversity points + rarely drops golden apples)
• Tea Mangrove Propagule: Grows into a tea mangrove and produces pianguas (which can be traded for utility items)
• Palm Sapling: Grows into a palm tree which drops coconut bombs on enemies

Merchants

Merchants offer various utilities such as weapons and defensive tools, as well as the ability use your team's biodiversity points to sabotage the enemy team with incoming mobs!
