How do I install Ore Gem Plants?

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This mod adds these new plants that spawn gems.
-Netherite Plant
-Diamond Plant
-Gold Plant
-Emerald Plant
-Lapis Plant
-Redstone Plant
-Glowstone Plant
-Quartz Plant
-Amethyst Plant
-Copper Plant
-Iron Plant
-Coal Plant

The seeds needed for planting can be obtained through crafting.
Surround 1 wheat seed with the corresponding materials to get the different seeds. (see images fore more details)
Once you plant the seeds on farmland and wait for a little the plants will start spawning gems corresponding to there type.
These plants use the randomtickspeed to determine when to spawn the gems just like all other crops.
To make the gems spawn faster use "/gamerule randomTickSpeed (value)" WARNING: This will also affect the speed at which grass and all other crops grow.

This mod should work on servers if the client and the server have the mod installed but I have not tested this and will not be addressing any bug related to server use.

This mod will NOT be ported to older versions of Minecraft. I will try to keep it updated for the latest versions of Minecraft but no promises.

9/21/25 15:00 v2.0.0 - Updated and rearranged project for easier updating. uploaded 1.12.2, 1.14.4, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.20.1 Forge and 1.21.4 NeoForge.

There's now an advancement/achievement if you end up with the plant item.
