IvyGen carries over from Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons and now sits in the blender_extensions library, where it holds popularity rank 46. It's community-maintained and offered as it is, with limited support.
IvyGen is a Blender add-on that adds generated ivy to a mesh object, beginning at the 3D cursor. You reach it through View3D → Sidebar → Ivy Generator, in the Create tab, so the cursor position sets where the ivy starts.
The add-on was part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons and is now offered as it is, with limited support. Its original authors are testscreenings, PKHG and TrumanBlending, and it is maintained by the Community team. It requires no special permissions to run, and can be added by dragging its file into Blender or installing from disk.
IvyGen is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. The current release is version 0.1.5, published in May 2024, and it is listed here as free. For documentation and the latest details, see the developer's page.
