Placeable Plants
by wenwen357951
Placeable Plants lets players set down grass, ferns, sugar cane, dead bushes, cocoa beans and sweet berries as blocks, and fills a world with greenery on the server.
What it does
Placeable Plants is a Fabric server mod that makes a set of plant items placeable on blocks. Tall grass, tall dry grass, the fern variants, sugar cane, dead bushes, cocoa beans and sweet berries can all be put in the world by a player.
The mod is aimed at builders who want more vegetation without generating it by hand. Because it runs on the server alone, players join without installing anything. Which plants can be placed anywhere is controlled by a default setting, and it can be changed through the settings panel of Mod Menu. Cloth Config API supplies that panel, while Fabric API and Mod Menu are required as well.
Files exist for Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11, twelve release versions in all, with 1.3.0-alpha.2 for 1.21.11 as the latest Fabric build from 2026-05-09. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Placeable grass and ferns
Grass, tall grass, tall dry grass, fern and large fern can be set down on blocks as well as picked up.
Placeable crops and sugar cane
Sugar cane, cocoa beans and sweet berries can be placed in the world, so farms and jungle scenes can be built directly.
Dead bush placement
Dead bushes can be placed, which helps desert and badlands builds look less bare.
Default placement setting
A default controls whether the plants can be placed anywhere, and the setting can be changed in the Mod Menu panel.
Manual configuration
Advanced users can edit the placeable.json file directly as a second way to set which plants are placeable.
