FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.20 – 26.3

What it does

Crouching on a pot of either kind, with a plant in hand, sets that plant inside it. Crouching and placing a two-tall flower on the ground shortens it to one tall. Some plants leave nothing behind when a pot is broken, because their display block differs from the item used to place them, as with wheat.

The soil-like blocks are grouped into natural ground, sand and gravel, cold, underground, Nether and End, organic, utility, special and water blocks, and a list of supported and unsupported plants is kept on the project page. Gardener's Dream is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a Data pack for server platforms, with files for 1.20 – 26.3. It is server required and client optional, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Plants in pots

    Any plant can be placed in flower pots, decorated pots, player heads and half-pots.

  2. Soil-like blocks

    Ground blocks of many kinds, from natural earth and moss to sand and Nether stone, can host plants.

  3. Two-tall flower shortening

    Crouching and placing a two-tall flower on the ground makes it one block tall.

  4. Broken plant checks

    A datapack checks for broken plants at an interval set by a settings function, with 2.0s as the default.

Questions

Does Gardener's Dream need to be installed on the server?

Yes. It is required on the server and optional for players.

Why do some plants drop nothing when a pot is broken?

Those plants use a display block that differs from the item used to place them, as wheat does, so they return no item when the pot breaks.

Which game versions does Gardener's Dream support?

Files cover 1.20 – 26.3, including snapshot builds, and the latest file for each loader targets 26.3.
