Flowerbeds 🔗

Flowerbeds are blocks that allow easier growing of flowers. Once you place a flower on top of a flowerbed, it will grow in nearby empty flowerbeds.

This growing is not limited by the usual restriction of flora density, so a single flower planted in a large flowerbed field will eventually fill the entire field with the flower.

In order to grow new flowers, flowerbeds must be on the same vertical height, and adjacent - even diagonally - to each other.

Flowerbeds are crafted from 1 coal, 1 dirt and 1 wood placed vertically. Different woods yields different looking flowerbeds, but they all share the same functionality and can work with each other.

Flower beds have a random time between checks, and random probability of success, to see if flowers grow in empty flowerbeds. The times and probability can be controlled with the [Settings] listed below.

Flower Compatibility 🔗

Flowerbeds grow flowers based on groups, so any mod that adds new flowers and correctly tags them with the "flower" group should be compatible with Flowerbeds.
