Universal Bone Meal Mod makes bone meal useful on more plants and blocks, giving players a practical way to speed up growth or spread on targets that vanilla Minecraft normally leaves unchanged. Based on available information, it extends bone meal behavior to sugar cane, cactus, lily pads, small flowers, dead bushes, nether wart, chorus plants, coral blocks, and more, with dispenser support for automation and server use without requiring client-side installation.
Key Features
- Expands bone meal use beyond vanilla limits, including cactus and sugar cane so they can grow taller like bamboo.
- Changes spread behavior for lily pads, small flowers, and dead bushes, letting them multiply around their original location.
- Lets nether wart grow like wheat and allows chorus plants to extend upward with bone meal.
- Allows coral blocks to grow into coral reef structures in warm ocean biomes.
- Supports dispenser interaction, making the new bone meal behaviors usable in automated setups.
- Includes configuration options so you can choose which plants or blocks are affected.
- Works on servers without requiring client-side installation.
