MineralSeeds
by jingqi_ohhh
MineralSeeds adds seeds that grow into ore-yielding crops when planted on farmland, so a player can harvest mineral pieces from a field.
What it does
Mineral seeds are crafted and then placed on farmland by right-clicking, like other crop seeds. A planted seed passes through four growth stages, and bone meal can speed up that growth. When a plant is fully grown, harvesting it returns one to three pieces of the matching mineral.
The mod runs on both client and server, so a server and every player on it need the mod installed. Fabric API is required. Builds exist for Fabric only, across three release versions: 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.2, with 2.0.0+26.2 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Crafted mineral seeds
Each mineral has its own seed item that can be crafted, so a player chooses which ore to grow.
Planting on farmland
Seeds are placed on farmland with a right-click, following the same flow as vanilla crop seeds.
Four growth stages
A planted seed grows through four stages before it can be harvested, and bone meal shortens the wait.
Mineral harvest
A ripe plant yields one to three pieces of its corresponding mineral when harvested.
