Symbiosis! Mutate your plants!

Created for the 'Synergy' themed ECModjam, hosted through Discord by ECarrascon, Symbiosis is quite simple - find Bulb Shrubs in varying biomes that can provide you with different status effects!

Currently, as of the initial release, there are 2 naturally occurring Bulb Shrubs and 2 Bulb Shrubs obtained through Bulb Mutation.

Naturally Occurring

Regeneration Bulb Shrubs in Cherry Groves and Speed bulb Shrubs in Flower Forests.

Through Bulb Mutation

Strength Bulb Shrubs can be made through placing Blazethorn Bushes next to Regeneration Bulb Shrubs. After some time, they will transform. Blazethorn Bushes generate naturally all throughout the Nether dimension.

Slow Falling Bulb Shrubs can be made through placing Chorus Flowers (not plants) next to Speed Bulb Shrubs. Again, after some time, they will transform.

To actually get the status effects, you'll need to craft an Empty Flask, which is made by make an L shape with 3 glass and a piece of leather in the corner. Right-clicking an Empty Flask on a given Bulb Shrub will provide you with the respective status effect. You can also use a regular Bulb Shrub - which you can only obtain after right-clicking on the natural or mutated Bulb Shrubs - inside of a brewing stand to make a regular potion into a Filled Flask. Doing this does result in halving the potion's duration, but the duration of consumption is also halved.

I would like to introduce more Bulb Shrub variants over time, but 4 seemed like a good starting point for the time being.
