What is possible with shaders for the detail map layer?

Hello Zylann, your plugin rocks and I wanted to ask about what the grass shaders are capable of. I saw in your documentation that wind is there, it just needs to be set up with a custom shader? Is it also possible to make some interaction that stomps down on the grass as things move through it? I saw that you aren’t working on the plugin anymore which I understand, I only want to know about the possibility of these and nothing more.

Anything is possible if you're willing to put in enough work, so I won't be able to answer this in detail. The options you see are what's possible without work. With a bit more work in the shader you could make more visual changes, as you said you could improve the wind (currently lacking directionality and doesn't have that wavy noise pattern many grass systems have), or use a global uniform to curb grass near player position.
Anything beyond visual stuff (collision, logic...) is a lot more work, as detail layers were not tailored in that direction.

I love to hear that anything is possible! What I’m looking to do is entirely visual, so I’ll look into what you said about the global uniform and noise. Thanks for helping me with my questions I appreciate you.
