About OrePlants
From ModrinthOre Plants in Minecraft! That's it!
OrePlant
The farmer's way to get metals: grow them.
OrePlant adds crops that grow ore. Craft a seed from nuggets, plant it, and harvest metal dust that you can craft back into ingots and gems. It's a slow, renewable path to resources that suits farming-focused and peaceful playthroughs.
Crops
| Seed | Crafted from | Harvest | |---|---|---| | Iron Seed | 5 Iron Nuggets (X shape) | Iron Dust | | Gold Seed | 5 Gold Nuggets (X shape) | Gold Dust | | Diamond Seed | Diamond, Pumpkin Seeds, Gold Dust, Iron Dust, Gunpowder | Diamond Dust |
Recipes are visible in the recipe book and in REI/EMI/JEI.
Processing
- 9 Iron Dust → 1 Iron Ingot
- 9 Gold Dust → 1 Gold Ingot
- 9 Diamond Dust → 1 Diamond
Mature plants also drop extra seeds, and Fortune increases the seed drop. Crops grow on farmland like wheat and accept bone meal.
