Carnivorous plant behaviour

Spawns in forest
Can be killed easily
Deals damage & gives poison
Can't move
Doesn't drop anything but you may often find meat from the last mob it ate near it

Design of the carnivorous plant

Custom texture
3D model
Animation

Optimization

All the carnivorous plants are killed each 95 seconds to prevent lag caused by spawn accumulation, but you can summon persistent carnivorous plant with /function carnivorous_plant:summon_plant_persistent
Rare chance of finding one for performance reasons, but if you are curious about finding one in creative, run /scoreboard players reset @a timer_plant
Once manually killed, it despawns

Requirement

Absolutely none!
Fully server side, no resource pack required!
Mob spawning must be enabled

Frequently Asked Questions

Carnivorous Plant server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Carnivorous Plant compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Carnivorous Plant officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.2, 26.2-snapshot-7, 26.2-snapshot-6. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Carnivorous Plant – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Carnivorous Plant consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
