+README file for Plantlife mod, by Vanessa Ezekowitz
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Plantlife is a combined form of my Flowers and Poison Ivy mods and an expanded
+version of the old Bushes mod, now called bushes_classic. The entire package
+has been significantly rewritten and re-organized. This mod supplies all
+three of these components and should be 100% compatible with mods that used
+the old versions.
+
+Its purpose is to add various kinds of flowers, cotton plants, water foliage,
+poison ivy, and fruit bushes, obviously. :-) All of these are spawned as
+normal nodes and can be collected and used in any recipes that depend on the
+old mods.
+
+Spawning of plants is sensitive to the amount of available light. Flowers,
+cotton, and waterlilies only spawn when there at least a signficant amount of
+light. Seaweed will grow only in dimly-lit areas. Poison ivy also grows only
+in the daytime, but require less light than flowers.
+
+Growing of poison ivy will only occur for plants that are on the same surface
+that is necessary for them to spawn on, so they won't grow if placed on e.g.
+cobble or homedecor flower pot, etc. This doesn't affect wall-climbing poison
+ivy, since it uses a different growth pattern.
+
+All plants use multiple controls provided by biome_lib, to keep where they
+grow under control - no more random spread of plants! In addition, the density
+of the plants in any region they appear in has been fixed and brought under
+control.
+
+Poison ivy is found sparsely among junglegrass, but will not grow near flowers.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Important details:
+
+Configuration: Any of the three components of this mod can be disabled
+by just removing their respective directories.
+
+Dependencies: Just the game's default stuff.
+
+Recommends: Nothing in particular.
+
+Conflicts: This mod should not be installed alongside the original, separate
+Poison Ivy, or old Bushes mods. If those exist, delete them, as this mod
+supplies their functionality. If you still use the old Jungle Grass mod
+either as previously supplied with this modpack, or in its standalone form,
+you'll want to delete the "junglegrass" directory from this modpack to get rid
+of the aliases-to-air that it supplies.
+
+Software Requirements: This mod requires Minetest 0.4.11 or later. It is
+unlikely to work with old versions.
+

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Notes:
+
+Poison Ivy will spawn on grass and in some cases, on vertical surfaces
+including trees and jungle trees where they meet the dirt or grass. Ivy
+previously spawned on the ground taller/thicker or start climbing up said
+vertical surfaces and trees.
+
+At present, the poison ivy presents little more than an annoyance - they can
+only be cut down and either re-planted or thrown away. No damage is done by
+harvesting them, yet. ;-)
