The Guide To Floral Friendship would be an item sold by the Dryad at a base price of 5 gold, and would prevent players from destroying most plants while inside of the player's inventory. This is meant to be a counterpart to the Guide To Critter Companionship which prevents players from killing critters, but for plants instead. This is to help people who like to preserve things like flower patches or vines in their world, builders who want to utilize things like flowers, and people who simply don't want herbs or seeds filling up their inventories.
When inside your inventory the guide could be enabled or disabled with a button to the left of the inventory. Similar to the ruler setting or the wire settings from the mechanical lens and grand design. This would bring quality of life when having this item while trying to collect Herbs, Jungle spores or a Nature's Gift. As dropping the guide or putting it away in a container could feel a bit "clunky" or annoying. This could also be applied to the guide to critter companionship, as it would be helpful for killing critters like Prismatic Lacewings when needed.
As mentioned the guide would prevent players from destroying plants. Specifically plants that can be destroyed or harvested with attacks alone, like grass, vines, flowers, herbs, etc. As a result, this would not interfere with affecting things like Dye plants, Trees or Plantera bulbs. However an exception to this rule would be the thorns found in the Corruption, Crimson and Jungle, because these do damage to the player and can spread the Corruption and Crimson.
