Salty´s Immersive: Foliage is a Vintage Story mod by SaltyWater. Salty´s Immersive: Foliage makes plants react visually and audibly when players and creatures move through them.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose this mod if you want denser environmental feedback and a useful audio clue when animals hide in bushes. It suits exploration, immersion, and hunting-focused play.
What Salty´s Immersive: Foliage adds
Plant blocks respond when entities pass through them, making vegetation feel less static during exploration. The effect is intended to strengthen the sense of moving through a living landscape rather than walking past decorative blocks.
The mod also gives plant blocks their own movement sounds for players and creatures. Careful listening can reveal an animal moving nearby, such as a hare hidden in dense foliage, turning sound into a practical hunting aid.
The description notes that the foliage effects may conflict with shader mods because the visual shader handling replaces full shader files rather than patching them.
