RestrictedCrops

This modification represents a completely rewritten from scratch version of the Biome Growth Controls mod by Lothrazar. It's a comprehensive update for Minecraft 1.12.2, offering significantly improved performance, flexible management, and extended functionality compared to the original solution.

Core Features

The mod provides a comprehensive system for controlling plant growth within the Minecraft world. The main functionality includes restricting the cultivation of various crops only for specific biome and dimension combinations. The system also blocks the use of bone meal on plants that cannot grow in the current location.

Configurable options allow sending chat messages to players when attempting to fertilize plants with bone meal in unsuitable locations. Users can choose whether prohibited plants will be automatically destroyed or dropped as items. The mod comes with ready default settings and allows reloading configuration directly during gameplay.

Technical Specifications

One of the key innovations is the ability to create complex growth rules where for each crop you can specify lists of specific biome and dimension combinations. For example, you can restrict the cultivation of crops from the Mystical Agriculture mod exclusively to the Mushroom Island biome in the Overworld or any biomes in The End.

The mod's architecture implements a modern approach to data storage - information about permissible biomes for each crop is stored in a HashMap, ensuring fast search and high performance. The built-in graphical interface for editing settings allows easy mod configuration without the need to restart the game.

For modpack developers, an extended logging system is provided, enabling tracking of all system events and identifying problems in growth rule settings.

Compatibility and Special Functions

The mod includes special compatibility with Open Terrain Generator (OTG), solving the problem with arbitrary addition of custom saplings that could ignore biome restrictions. The solution automatically disables the corresponding OTG functionality, ensuring strict adherence to established restriction rules.

Practical Applications

The mod solves two important tasks: it prevents illogical situations where plants grow in completely unsuitable conditions (such as cacti on snow-covered mountain peaks), and encourages players to create distributed farms. This forces players to expand their activities, build additional bases in different biomes, and organize transport systems for moving resources between them.
