Kelp Fertilizer

by Serilum

Kelp Fertilizer lets kelp act like bone meal, so players can grow it on crops and in the world without crafting bone meal first.

What it does

Kelp is a natural fertilizer in this mod. Right-clicking a crop with kelp, or placing it in a dispenser, applies the same growth effect that bone meal gives. The mod is built to be minimal and changes only that behavior. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything, and Collective is required as a dependency. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Kelp as bone meal

    Kelp applies the same growth effect as bone meal when used on crops and other growable plants.

  2. Dispenser support

    A dispenser holding kelp can fertilize plants in front of it, as it does with bone meal.

  3. Water-based source

    Kelp grows in sea water rich in nutrients, so it offers a natural alternative to crafting fertilizer.

Kelp seaweed is actually a really good natural fertilizer. It has a cell structure that filters sea water for rich nutrients. This minimalistic mod makes kelp act exactly like bone meal. This works both when a player right-clicks a crop and when used in a dispenser. Serilum.com contains an overview and more…
