About this Mod

This is a pretty simple mod which adds a two new items: animal seeds and animal lilies.
- Animal seeds can be planted on grass blocks to grow passive animals over time.
- Animal lilies can be planted on water blocks to do the same, but for water animals.
This mod is designed to be used in mod packs with custom recipes for each animal seed, though by default animal bushes will rarely generate which drop a random animal seed or lily when broken.
Using the config file, seeds can be added for any mob which has a spawn egg. This allows seeds to be added for mobs from mods such as Twilight Forest, Waddles, or even vanilla monsters such as creepers and guardians. Additionally, there are options to configure right click harvest, whether bone meal affects the crops, and the chance of an additional seed dropping when the crop is harvested.
