About this project

What does PlantAnythingAPI add?

Simple API to allow planting any item as any specified block on any specified block with a simple rightclick interaction. Only requires a simple json behavior on the item to funciton.
Vanilla semi-hardcodes what block a seed item gets planted as. This mod allows working around this limitation without having to rely on the vanilla item class "ItemPlantableSeed", or having to write custom code for every item type with slight variations.

Note: This will override any other rightclick behavior if a valid planting is found. other rightclick behaviors will function if no valid planting is found. Sneaking/Crouching will bypass this function to allow other mod's functions to be possible.
Does NOT require the vanilla item class "ItemPlantableSeed", but leaving the class will cancel attempts to plant onto farmland using this mod. Other blocktypes work fine.
No AI/LLM was used.

 

To add the mechanic to an item, simple add the behavior "Behavior_Plantable" to the .json file of the item.

Json Code Example

"behaviors": [ {
       "name": "Behavior_Plantable",
       "properties": {
              "plantOn": ["game:soil-medium-none", "game:farmland-*"],
              "plantAs": "game:crop-turnip-1",
       },
} ],

Json Patch Example

[
       {
              "op": "addmerge",
              "file": "PATHTOJSONFILE",
              "path": "/behaviors",
              "value": [ {
                     "name": "Behavior_Plantable",
                     "properties": {
                            "plantOn": [ //can be omitted
                                   "game:soil-medium-none",
                                   "game:farmland-*",
                            ],
                            "plantAs": "game:crop-turnip-1"
                     }
              } ],
       }
]

 

To specify what block to plant and what blocks can be planted on change plantOn and plantAs to the desired blocks.

Specifics of Each Propery (properties)
  • plantOn: Is an array of blocks that the item can be planted onto.
    • Is an array, meaning any number of blocks can be included.
    • Can be ommited - will default to farmland.
    • Domain is not required but is also accepted.
      • If ommited the domain of the block being matched to will be used, effectly ignoring the domain match.
      • Ex: "game:farmland-*" or "farmland-*" are both valid. However, not including the domain means ANY mod that adds a block that would match "farmland-*" will also match.
    • Can use wildcards in the block code path.
      • Ex: "game:farmland-*" to match all farmland.
  • plantAs: Is the resulting block of the planting action.
    •  Requires a single block code path.
    • Only allows a single block.
    • Can use varientgroups. Plantable item must contain the varientgroup to function, and varientgroup type is determined by the plantable item's varient.
      • Ex: "plantAs": "game:crop-{type}-1"

 

Planned Additions
  • Plant on block face. Allows specifying only planting on the specific face of the targeted block.
  • Item tooltip to show plantable behavior requirements and output.
