Just Another Grass Seed guide for FTB Skies 2 1.4.0 to 1.5.2

Just Another Grass Seed adds the Grass Seed item to the pack. The pack ships version 21.1.5 of the mod, built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1, and it has been included since pack version 1.0.1 or earlier.^[1]

Where it fits in progression

You meet the mod very early. The quest a quest in "?" sits in the "the_beginning" chapter and has an item task for the Grass Seed. It unlocks after another quest in the same chapter, so you'll run into it during your first steps in the pack.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't describe how the Grass Seed is obtained or crafted, what it does when used, or whether the pack changes any of its values. Check in-game before relying on any of that.

The one item this mod gives you to chase early on is Grass Seed. The pack's quest book has a quest with Grass Seed as its task, so it makes a good first target.^[2]

Step 1: Get Grass Seed from sifting

The pack adds its own sifting recipe that can give you Grass Seed. Grass Seed is only one of many possible results: the same recipe also gives several crop seeds, a sapling and other plant items.^[3]

Sifting (createsifter)

• Mechanical Cloth Mesh
• Dirt

Recipe id: ftb:sifting/minecraft_dirt_with_cloth_mesh

This is the pack's own sifting recipe. Grass Seed is just one of its possible outputs.

Because Grass Seed shares the output list with all those other items, it may not show up on your first try. The sources here don't give drop chances, so I can't say how many attempts it will take.^[3]

Step 2: Complete the quest

Once you have a Grass Seed, check the quest a quest in "?" in the "the_beginning" chapter. Its task is the item Grass Seed. It comes after another quest in the same chapter, so you will need to have that one done before it opens up.^[2]

The sources for this pack don't describe any machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling for Just Another Grass Seed. What they do confirm is one way to get its item, Grass Seed: a sifting recipe that the pack adds.^[3]

Getting Grass Seed

In this pack, Grass Seed is one of the results of a Create Sifter sifting recipe that the pack itself adds. The same recipe also lists other seeds and plants as results, including cabbage, tomato and industrial hemp seeds, a Menril sapling, bamboo, cocoa beans, melon and pumpkin seeds, sugar cane, sweet berries and wheat seeds.^[3]

Recipe id: ftb:sifting/minecraft_dirt_with_cloth_mesh

This is the pack's sifting recipe that lists Grass Seed among its results.

Unverified The pack has no config files for this mod that the sources here show, so any tweakable options for Grass Seed are not documented in these sources.

Just Another Grass Seed has no tier ladder in this pack. The sources show one step: getting Grass Seed for a quest in the opening chapter.^[2][3]

The quest

The quest a quest in "?" sits in the "the_beginning" chapter. Its task is the item Grass Seed. It comes after another quest, so finish the earlier part of the chapter first.^[2]

How you get Grass Seed

The pack adds a sifting recipe that can give you Grass Seed. You sift dirt with a Mechanical Cloth Mesh. Grass Seed is one of many possible results, alongside several crop seeds, a Menril Sapling, bamboo, cocoa beans, sugar cane and sweet berries.^[3]

The Lychee dirt recipe

The pack also adds a Lychee item_inside recipe that uses Grains of Infinity, Grass Seed and Dirt together. This is another place where Grass Seed is combined with an item from a different mod.^[3]

Quest tie-in

Grass Seed also appears in the quest book. Quest a quest in "?" in the chapter "the_beginning" has an item task for Grass Seed, and it comes after another quest in that chapter.^[2]

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

In this pack, the mod shows up in one quest, and it lives in the "the_beginning" chapter. It's an early-game quest, so you'll run into it near the start of your run.^[4]

The quest is a quest in "?", and it has no title in the pack files. Its task is an item task: you hand in Grass Seed. That's all the quest asks for.^[4]

It comes after the quest with the id 5FCEA8229BB6955C in the same chapter, so you need to finish that one first before this one unlocks.^[4]

Unverified The sources don't say what the previous quest asks for, whether this quest gives a reward, or how you obtain Grass Seed in this pack. Check the in-game quest book for those details.
