With the addition of the acacia tree, this seems like a more viable idea. Before this is implemented we need to figure out a way to make these visual props client side only. An increase in small details should not come with an increase in network bandwidth usage / server cost. The client could render trees/shrubs at high elevations (grass or higher) and coral in shallow water. The only downside to making the props client side is that entities would probably have limited or no effect on them; although destroying the land under a prop would effectively destroy it.
