Placeable Plants
by Nico4play
Placeable Plants lets players set down plants that are normally unplaceable, such as tall grass and ferns, on any flat surface.
What it does
The mod is a data pack, so it changes how plant items behave in the world rather than adding new items of its own. Once it is loaded, plants such as flowers, grasses and the dead bush can be placed on almost any block that has a flat top. A plant placed this way is then dropped as the item again when it is broken, so the item count stays intact. The dead bush can also be made renewable by smelting or cooking it at a campfire, and recipes for tall grass and large fern are added.
Placeable Plants is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 18 release versions, 1.18.2 – 1.21.4. Only the server must run the mod; players may leave it out, though it can be installed on the client too. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its files target the release line listed for each loader, and the newest build for every loader is 1.9.2-mc1.21.4+mod, dated 2024-12-13.
Key features
Placement on flat surfaces
Plants can be set down on almost any block with a flat top, not just on the soil or grass they normally need.
Renewable dead bush
Smelting or cooking the dead bush at a campfire yields a material that can be renewed for the plant.
Tall grass and large fern recipes
Recipes for tall grass and large fern are added, so these plants can be crafted as well as collected.
Items return when broken
A placed plant drops its item when it is broken, so placing plants does not destroy them.
Compatibility

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want more freedom to decorate with plants, and server owners who want to offer that freedom to their players.
How it compares
Placeable Blaze Rods works on the client and server together and covers 1.16.5 – 26.3, so every player on a server running it needs it too. Plants Can Grow in Trees! covers only 26.1 – 26.3, a range that does not overlap with this mod, and only the server needs it, so players may leave it out. Craftable Large Ferns is also licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, not All rights reserved, and players may leave it out as well.
