Botany Pots
by Darkhax
Botany Pots adds pots that grow crops, letting players farm and decorate with the same block.
What it does
A Botany Pot is a block that grows crops in a pot. Harvesting a crop in a pot replants its seed automatically, so the pot keeps producing. A Hopper Botany Pot upgrade lets the pot harvest itself and push items into a chest or any other block with an inventory. The pots come in seventeen colors, so they can also serve as decoration.
The mod needs Bookshelf, Fabric API and Prickle as required dependencies. Botany Pots is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 17 release versions, 1.14.4 – 1.21.1, and runs on client and server. Files are released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and the mod is open source.

Use cases

Automated collection
Pairing a Hopper Botany Pot with a chest sends harvested items somewhere without manual collection.
Who it’s for: Players who want a compact farm or decorative plant pots, and server owners who set up automated crop collection. Datapack and CraftTweaker authors can add crops, soils and fertilizers.
