Request: Common Reed
Request Type: General Addition
Try to describe all workarounds and associated issues that make it necessary to add this block in your eyes.
This is an extremely common waterway plant IRL, far moreso than cattails, and would generally help give a lot of life to waterways in many places on the server. Particularly the river which comes to mind is the greenblood, which wouldn't really get cattails at all. Currently the closest block to this is meadow fescue but it doesn't really resemble common reed at all, the heads are too small and it only stacks 2 tall - whereas IRL reeds can grow up to 5-6 m in heigh depending. Cattails =/= reeds.
IRL these plants are pretty much global in their distribution and arguably are the most important waterway plant that still needs adding, as you'll be able to use this for a variety things in addition to its main purpose as well.
Model-wise it'd probably be similar to the hemp model, though likely with some modification. Depending there could be 2 reed types added, one with the plumes and one without that's just leaves, or maybe break up the reed parts yo ucan place similar to the way hemp was designed. I'll attach several images showing what it looks like.
Types of evidence to support your request: Canon
Canonical Evidence
There is literally a house in the Neck named after this plant. Loras is described to be slender as a reed. The Womb of the World in Essos had reeds growing at its edge, rivers in the riverlands are described as being choked with reeds in AGOT's Tyrion's chapters, and additionally throughout descriptions of the riverlands in subsequent books. It's a really important canon plant which just doesn't exist right now - and cattails, which the server has used en mass, are not even described in the books once.
