Placeable Plants: Whitelisted
by joshieman
Placeable Plants: Whitelisted lets worldgen place plant blocks on the surfaces listed in a whitelist config, and it is a NeoForge fork of Placeable Plants.
What it does
The mod controls which blocks plants may be placed on, using a filter mode set in the placeable-common.toml file inside the config folder. The filter is either a whitelist or a blacklist, and it decides the placement rules for both manual placement and world generation. Plants and foliage can be allowed onto non-traditional blocks through block tags.
Two separate lists cover the two cases. A placement whitelist or blacklist applies when a player places a plant by hand, and a worldgen blacklist controls where plants generate during world generation. Server owners who want to restrict or extend planting can change these lists without writing code.
The mod is a fork of Placeable Plants, which it expands. It runs on NeoForge only and is published for 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as its single file, released on 2026-07-31. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player install it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Whitelist and blacklist filter
A single setting chooses between a whitelist and a blacklist, which then governs plant placement rules.
Manual placement rules
The chosen filter applies when players place plants by hand, not only during generation.
Worldgen blacklist
A separate blacklist of block tags stops plants from generating on the listed blocks during world generation.
Non-traditional placement
Plants and foliage can be placed on blocks outside their usual surfaces, set through block tags.
