Bamboo

Bamboo (Japanese: 竹) is a mod for Minecraft versions 1.2.5 and above. The mod focuses on the usage of bamboo as a building block for Japanese-themed buildings, but also has several miscellaneous features, including the crafting of rice bowl meals and flavored ice.

The mod is created by ruby, and is hosted on the Minecraft Unofficial Japan Users Forum (mod thread link).

Overview
As what its name suggests, the Bamboo mod revolves on using the bamboo plant in several ways. Thus, it is required that players must look for some Bamboo plants generated in the world upon playing for the first time. (Alternatively, for players who have installed the mod in an older world, a config that allows the crafting of Bamboo can be tweaked.)

Bamboo plants can be found abundantly in Hills and Forest biomes, creating massive and sometimes invasive towers of green. Bamboo plants can be harvested easily using any tool. However, bamboo plants can only grow from Bamboo Shoots, small brown protrusions that grow beside mature bamboo plants and serve as bamboo "saplings". Bamboo Shoots can only be harvested using a hoe (only Vanilla hoes work), and can only grow if the block light (i.e., light given off by torches and glowstone, not sunlight) is high enough. Bamboo trees can grow up to ten blocks high, and will only produce Bamboo Shoots upon reaching this height; for this reason, it is best to reserve a tree for producing shoots and making a farm for the actual bamboo trees.

Upon gathering enough Bamboo, the mod's aesthetic blocks and other items can be crafted. Most blocks in the mod require an item called the Tudura, which is made by crafting four Bamboo in a diamond pattern.
