Mob Bloom

Mob Bloom expands the idea of mob farms by making plants themselves the source of hostile mobs. Each crop is fertilized with bonemeal, and once it is fully grown it summons a mob. The mob type follows the plant, so the crops cover zombies, husks, skeletons, bogged and stray skeletons, wither skeletons, blazes, breezes, creepers, spiders and phantoms. Some of these crops bear names taken from their drops, such as Withered Skeleshrub, Burn Blossom and Breezy Beet, and Phantom Pitcher is among them as well.

The crops are crafted from a flower and an Echo Shard. Their recipes become available once a player obtains an Echo Shard, so the summoning plants appear as the player progresses. A zombie crop summons a husk when planted in a desert, which shows that the biome of the summoning spot matters. The mod is a small addition to vanilla and is intended for players who want an unusual way to build hostile mob farms.

Installation requires Fabric. Mob Bloom is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.8, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the mod is licensed as All rights reserved.
