Frequently asked questions

How do I get the new seeds if they don't drop naturally?
The new seeds are designed for map makers and must be obtained through Creative Mode or commands. Place them in your world manually, or use them in a custom map where you want players to have access to them.
Why does my water source disappear when I fill bottles?
The mod limits water collection so you can only fill four glass bottles from a single water source block before it disappears. You'll need to find or create new water sources to continue collecting water.
What actions make me hungry faster in this mod?
Walking, swimming, attacking mobs, and taking damage all consume food points faster than vanilla Minecraft. You need to manage your hunger more carefully during exploration and combat.
Can falling sand and gravel break blocks when they land?
Yes, falling blocks like sand and gravel have a chance to break the block they land on instead of just stacking on top of it. Be careful when using falling blocks near structures you want to keep intact.
How do I grow trees from the new seeds?
Plant the tree seeds on grass or dirt, then use bone meal to grow them into large custom trees. The trees will grow much larger than vanilla saplings and have unique shapes.
Do I need to replant crop seeds every harvest like tree seeds?
No, crop seeds for potatoes, carrots, and sweet berries work like vanilla crops—they drop seeds when harvested so you can replant them continuously.
How does health regeneration work with the hunger changes?
The mod changes how much food you lose when your health regenerates and adjusts how fast you heal. You'll need more food to sustain health recovery than in vanilla Minecraft.
Can I use these seeds in regular survival worlds or only skyblock maps?
While the seeds are designed for map makers, you can use them in any world if you obtain them through Creative Mode or commands. They're most useful for custom maps where you want to control what players can grow.
Does this mod work with Farmer's Delight or Thermal mods?
Yes, the mod adds seeds for Farmer's Delight onions and Thermal rubberwood, so it has built-in compatibility with those mods if you have them installed.
Will this mod make my game lag or hurt performance?
The mod only changes mechanics for water, hunger, falling blocks, and adds new seeds—it doesn't add many new entities or complex systems, so performance impact should be minimal on most systems.
