Croparium: Mekanism
by LitQA
Croparium: Mekanism lets players grow Mekanism minerals and materials on farmland, turning mining into a crop-based way of collecting resources.
What it does
The mod adds crops that yield ten types of Mekanism minerals and materials, so resources can be gathered agriculturally instead of only through mining. Each crop has its own planting conditions. Most of them need Overworld farmland, and the Mekanism Refined Glowstone Crop and Refined Obsidian Crop need Tough Ore farmland. Farmland for these crops is watered from any source within a small horizontal reach, and some also draw on lava in that reach to support growth.
Obtaining the seeds and farmland begins with interacting with stones. Holding a pickaxe in the main hand and right-clicking common Overworld stones such as regular Stone or Deepslate converts the block into usable farmland, and cobblestone variants can be converted in the same way. Holding a Diamond Pickaxe or Netherite Pickaxe and right-clicking Obsidian, Crying Obsidian or Deadrock, along with the series stones from the Twilight Forest mod, converts them too. Specific information on how to obtain seeds and on the growth process of each crop is documented in the Croparium mod itself.
Croparium: Mekanism requires Croparium and Mekanism. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, for the game versions 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, and runs on client and server. Its license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, and the mod is not open source.
