Waxed Plants
by Courus
Waxed Plants lets players wax plants with honeycomb so they resist breaking and drop reliably when they are removed.
What it does
Waxing a plant with honeycomb turns it into a durable block that is harder to destroy by accident, which suits builds where stray breaks would ruin the work. Waxed plants are sheared or broken instantly by shears, and an axe removes the wax again. Grass, tall grass, fern and large fern can all be waxed, and the configured honeycomb usage count sets how many waxings a single honeycomb provides.
The mod is a Forge decoration addition for Minecraft 1.19.2 – 1.19.4, and it is open source under the MIT License. Both the server and every player need it, because the waxing rules run on the server side. Cloth Config API is an optional dependency that adds a configuration screen for the honeycomb setting and other options.
Key features
Waxing plants
Plants can be waxed with honeycomb, which keeps them in place against accidental breaking.
Honeycomb usage setting
The honeycomb usage count is configurable, and setting it to 0 disables the waxing cost.
Shears and axe interaction
Shears break waxed plants instantly, and an axe removes the wax from a plant.
Covered plant types
Grass, tall grass, fern and large fern can be waxed, so the same rule covers several decorative plants.

Use cases
Protecting finished builds
Waxed grass and ferns can stay in place around a build, so a stray pick or hit does not remove them.
Survival decoration
Players who want plant details in a base can wax them and keep them intact while they work nearby.
Who it’s for: Builders who want grass and fern decorations to hold up during long projects, and server owners who want fewer accidental breaks in shared builds.
