ZenCloche
ZenCloche is a Forge addon for the Immersive Engineering Garden Cloche, letting modpack makers register crops, fertilizers and recipes through CraftTweaker.
What it does
Crops, fertilizers and recipes that the Garden Cloche uses can be added or removed through CraftTweaker scripts. A fertilizer can be a fluid or an item, and each one is registered with its own fertility value that sets how much it boosts growth. Crops are registered with a list of block states that is shown in turn, so a plant can cycle through its growth stages in the cloche.
The mod targets only Minecraft 1.12.2 and runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It depends on CraftTweaker and Immersive Engineering, and it also works with the Garden Cloche that Immersive Engineering provides. Files for Forge were first published on 2023-08-02, and the latest file, 1.3, was released on 2024-03-28. The mod is published under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
