Biomes O' Placeable
by davigj
Biomes O' Placeable adds block tags that define where Biomes O' Plenty plants can be placed, so modpack makers can generate features with them.
What it does
Most tags correspond to a single Biomes O' Plenty plant. For example, biomesoplaceable:dune_grass sets the blocks that dune grass may be placed on, and biomesoplaceable:enderphyte does the same for enderphyte. Each tag lists the surfaces by name, so a datapack can specify the ground for any plant, including terracotta or endstone if needed.
Dead branches are the one case that differs, since they were only ever placed against the sides of blocks and not on top, so their tag works differently. Dead desert grass includes the placeable blocks of both dead desert grass variants, which follows how Biomes O' Plenty groups them in code, likely because both appear in the same Nether biome. Otherwise the tags function as their names suggest, and the add-on does not change how Biomes O' Plenty plays.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It requires Biomes O' Plenty and GlitchCore on both loaders, and it is published for Fabric and Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 under the MIT License, and the code is open source. The Fabric file dates from 2026-08-22 and the Forge file from 2024-12-12.
Key features
Per-plant placement tags
Block tags name the surfaces each Biomes O' Plenty plant can be placed on, one tag for most plants.
Dead branch handling
Dead branches use their own tag, because they were only ever placed against the sides of blocks.
Datapack-driven features
Tags can be edited in datapacks to let plants generate on terracotta, endstone or other blocks.
Full tag list
The project page lists every tag, with a few minor exceptions to the one-plant-per-tag pattern.

Who it’s for: Modpack makers and datapack authors who generate features with Biomes O' Plenty plants. Players who only play with the plants do not need the tags.

What the author says
On its own, this add-on won't change your experience with Biomes O' Plenty. It's meant to serve as a modpack maker tool for those who want to generate features using BoP plants on blocks that weren't originally intended to hold them. Via datapacks, you can now have dune grass generate on terracotta, endstone…
