Extended Bone Meal
by Serilum
Players who grow netherwart, cacti, vines or sugarcane with bone meal can finish a crop in one use by holding sneak with Extended Bone Meal installed.
What it does
Extended Bone Meal widens what bone meal does. Netherwart, cacti, vines and sugarcane respond to it, and holding the sneak key while applying it brings crops straight to their mature stage. The mod is a small, focused change to a vanilla item rather than a new system. It depends on Collective, which must be installed alongside it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.16.5 – 26.3, and the environment is server-side only, so clients need nothing extra. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features

Bone meal on cacti and sugarcane
Cacti, sugarcane and vines grow when bone meal is applied to them.
Instant growth while sneaking
Holding sneak while using bone meal brings a crop to its mature stage in one action.
