Ores Flowers
by ByzikZMC
Ores Flowers lets players grow flowers from seeds planted on farmland, and the flowers yield ore chunks, nuggets and raw resources when harvested.
What it does
Mining standard ore blocks such as coal, iron, gold and diamond can drop rare seeds. Each seed corresponds to one flower, and planting it on farmland lets the player watch it grow and cultivate the resource-bearing ore flower. Once grown, a flower can be harvested for ore chunks, nuggets or other raw resources, depending on the flower. The mod is aimed at players who would rather farm ores than search dark, dangerous caves for them.
The mod is built for NeoForge and is published for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2. The server and every player need the mod installed. Its code is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and the latest file is version 1.0 for 26.1.2, published on 2026-07-10.
Key features
Rare seeds from ore blocks
Breaking standard ore blocks can drop seeds that are rarer than the ore itself.
Ore flowers on farmland
Each seed grows into a flower on farmland, and a flower produces a specific ore resource when harvested.
Renewable ore output
Harvested flowers yield ore chunks, nuggets and raw resources, so ore comes back once a plant is grown again.
Automated ore farms
Flowers can be placed in a farm layout, letting players build an automated source of ore in the Overworld.
Localized interface
Text is translated into several languages, so players can read item names and messages in their own language.

Use cases
Replacing cave mining
A player who wants iron, gold or diamond without long trips underground can plant the matching seeds on farmland.
Automated resource farm
A player can combine several ore flowers into a farm that produces raw resources over time.
Who it’s for: Players who want a farming-based source of ore instead of cave mining, and server owners who want an ore economy that does not depend on exploring deep caves.
