About this Mod

Universal Bone Meal fills all the missing gaps where bone meal cannot be used, but really should be! All growing behaviors are rather unique, depending on the plant. New behaviors also work with dispensers and can be individually disabled in the config.

INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Thanks to Josephcsible for inspiring a few behaviors from their ExpandedBonemeal mod.

🌟 Thanks to Pepperoni Jabroni for inspiring the coral behavior from their Complete Bone Meal mod.

🌟 Thanks to a Reddit thread for inspiring the sweet berry bush behavior.
