MineralSeeds adds renewable ore crops to your Minecraft world. Instead of spending hours underground in deep caves, you convert mined resources into plantable seeds. You place those seeds into tilled soil. The plants mature over time, giving you steady returns of raw materials right at your base.
It suits players who prefer farming over endless mining expeditions. Look, if you want a peaceful way to gather ores, this project gives your fields a practical purpose. Modrinth lists the project in categories including Magic and Utility. Both the client and the server must run the mod during multiplayer games.
Crafting and growth stages
Getting started takes eight wheat seeds and one piece of your chosen mineral. You place the mineral in the center of a crafting table and surround it with the eight wheat seeds. And that recipe produces eight mineral seeds.
You plant the seeds by right-clicking on prepared farmland blocks. Each crop goes through four distinct growth stages before it reaches full maturity. You don't have to wait out the natural timer, because bone meal can speed up the growth stages. Harvesting a mature plant drops between one and three pieces of the corresponding mineral. Simple farming loop.

The mod includes 12 supported mineral types:
- Coal
- Iron
- Gold
- Copper
- Redstone
