Bonemeal Config
by omgimanerd
Bonemeal Config lets server owners decide which vanilla crops and plant blocks respond to bonemeal, one entry at a time.
What it does
Vanilla crops and several plant blocks are set up to accept bonemeal by default, and this mod changes which ones do. Each plant can be switched on or off individually in the config, so a world can keep the standard behavior for some plants and drop it for others. Entries cover the chorus flower, coral blocks, plants and fans, small flowers, hanging roots, leaves, dead bushes and nether sprouts, and some of these are disabled by default, as dead bushes and leaves are.
The mod suits survival servers and modpacks that want tighter control over farming and decoration. It works on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and must be installed on both the client and the server. It is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Bonemeal Config is also meant to sit beside mods that add their own bonemeal mechanics, such as machines and spells, so that those features can work on blocks that the config has already made bonemealable. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, and the latest Forge build is 1.0.0, published on 2024-07-18.
Key features
Per-plant bonemeal toggles

How it compares
Flower Bonemealing is open source under the MIT License, runs on Client and server and supports only Forge for 1.20.1, so it covers the same version and environment. Bonemeal Small Flowers is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and spans Forge files for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, which reaches older builds. Bonemeal Tweaker is open source under the MIT License, but it targets Forge 1.12.2, so it does not apply to this version.
