Botania Seeds
by Chakyl
Botania Seeds is a Forge addon for Botania that lets players grow Mystical Flowers from seeds, with sixteen seed colors crafted from Minecraft dyes.
What it does
Each Mystical Flower type gets its own seed, crafted from dyes, and planting that seed grows the matching flower. The addon sets up the flowers so growth fits the Botania setting, and several small tweaks make acquiring Mystical Flowers a little more demanding. Recipes were also changed so the flowers are gated behind Botania progression, which suits modpacks that use Botania in a set order.
Botania Seeds requires Botania and Patchouli, and both must be installed beside it. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the MIT License applies to the open source code.
Key features
Growable Mystical Flowers
Each Mystical Flower type can be grown from its own seed in the world, instead of only being found naturally.
Sixteen dye-based seeds
Seeds are crafted from Minecraft dyes, one color for each flower type, so every color has its own seed item.
Datapack-adjusted spawning
Shimmering Mushrooms and other spawns can be changed with datapacks, so world generation stays under the pack author's control.
Buried Petals behavior
Buried Petals no longer cause endless flower growth through bonemeal, which keeps petal duplication out of reach.

Use cases
Botania modpacks
Pack authors can keep Botania progression by gating flowers behind recipes and spawn settings, as in a Stardew Valley style modpack.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners install the mod on the server and the clients, since the environment is client and server.
Who it’s for: Botania players who want growable flowers and modpack authors who set up Botania progression. Installation requires Botania and Patchouli.
How it compares
Botania Evolved is an MIT licensed, open source Forge option for 1.20.1 that is also client and server. Iron's Botany is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and targets 1.20.1 on Forge with the same environment. Bonemeal Small Flowers covers 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 under the Apache License 2.0, so it reaches older versions than Botania Seeds.
