Just Another Grass Seed guide for FTB Skies 2 1.7.0

Just Another Grass Seed is in the pack at version 21.1.5, shipped as the file jags-neo-21.1.5+mc1.21.1.jar. It has been part of the pack since version 1.0.1 or earlier. The item you will see from it is Grass Seed.^[1]

Where the quest book places it

You meet this mod right at the start. The pack's quest book puts it in the "the_beginning" chapter, where the quest a quest in "?" has a single task that asks you to have Grass Seed.^[2]

That quest comes after quest a quest in "?", so you reach the seed during your first steps through the quest book. The quest has no title in the quest data, and the sources here do not show which quest follows it.^[2]

Unverified The sources here do not describe what Grass Seed does in detail: no in-jar guidebook was found for this mod, and no platform description is stored for it. Check the quest in game for how the pack expects you to use the item.

Just Another Grass Seed has a small footprint in this pack, and everything starts with one item: Grass Seed. The pack's quest book has a quest in The Beginning chapter whose task is that item, so it's the first thing to aim for.^[2]

Step 1: Get Grass Seed

In this pack, Grass Seed comes from sifting. The pack adds a sifting recipe that can give it, alongside a lot of other seeds and crops. Check the recipe below for the exact setup.^[3]

The quest a quest in "?" sits in The Beginning chapter and comes after another quest there. Its task is the Grass Seed item, so you'll reach it as you work through the opening quests.^[2]

Step 2: Make Fake Grass Blocks

Next up is Fake Grass Block. The pack gives you two ways to craft it. The first is a shapeless recipe that turns a regular grass block into a fake one.^[3]

Recipe id: ftb:fake_grass

• Dirt

Recipe id: ftb:fake_grass_1

Step 3: Pick a biome look in the stonecutter

Once you have a plain Fake Grass Block, the stonecutter turns it into biome-themed versions. Examples are Fake Grass Block (Plains), Fake Grass Block (Snow), Fake Grass Block (Swamp) and Fake Grass Block (Desert). Others cover Badlands, Birch, Cheery, Dark Forest, Jungle, Mangrove, Meadow, Mushroom, Ocean, Pale Garden and Sparse Jungle.^[3]

Stonecutting

The swap works both ways. Each biome variant can be put back into the stonecutter to get the plain Fake Grass Block again, so you can change your mind later.^[3]

The sources for this mod only cover recipes. They show no machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or automation for it. What they do show is how you get Grass Seed and how you craft and swap between the fake grass blocks.^[3]

Getting Grass Seed

In this pack, Grass Seed comes from sifting. The pack adds a Create Sifter recipe that sifts dirt with a Mechanical Cloth Mesh. Grass Seed is one of many possible results, alongside other seeds, saplings and crops. The sources don't give drop chances, so I can't tell you how often it shows up.^[3]

Unverified What Grass Seed does once you have it is not shown in the sources here. No in-jar guidebook, item tooltips or config files for this mod are available, so check in game for its use.

Just Another Grass Seed has no tiers in this pack. The sources show a short, flat path: one quest that asks you to get Grass Seed, plus some Fake Grass Block recipes for decoration.^[2][3]

The quest

Getting Grass Seed

The pack adds a sifting recipe where Grass Seed is one of the possible outputs. The same recipe also produces a long list of other crop seeds and saplings. The sources don't give drop chances, so this guide can't say how often the seed shows up.^[3]

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.15.0 guide

This pack ties Just Another Grass Seed into several other mods through recipes it adds itself. These are the connections the pack's recipes and quests confirm.^[4]

Getting Grass Seed by sifting dirt

The pack adds a Create Sifter recipe that sifts Dirt with a Mechanical Cloth Mesh. Grass Seed is one of the possible results.^[4]

The same sift also gives seeds and crops from other mods, plus some vanilla items. The sources do not show drop chances.^[4]

• Farmer's Delight: Cabbage Seeds, Rice Crops and Tomato Seeds.^[4]
• Immersive Engineering: Industrial Hemp Seeds.^[4]
• Integrated Dynamics: Menril Sapling.^[4]
• Vanilla: Bamboo, Beetroot Seeds, Cocoa Beans, Melon Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Sugar Cane, Sweet Berries and Wheat Seeds.^[4]

Grass Seed and Ender IO

The pack also adds a Lychee item-inside recipe, grass_seed_from_dirt_water, that uses Grass Seed together with Grains of Infinity from Ender IO. The recipe dump lists no output for it.^[4]

Quest link

In the "the_beginning" quest chapter, quest a quest in "?" has you hand in Grass Seed. It unlocks after another quest in the same chapter.^[5]

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.^[6]

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.^[6]

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.^[6]

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.
