Botany Pots guide for Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.47.0 to 0.0.51.4-hotfix-1

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Botany Pots adds the Botany Pot, a block that grows all kinds of crops. You can use it as decoration, or to make farming certain crops much easier. The mod was inspired by Davenonymous's Bonsai Trees mod.^[1]

The pack includes Botany Pots 21.1.44 for NeoForge 1.21.1. It was first included in an earlier version of the pack, 4.6 or before.^[2]

What it gives you

• Harvesting a crop in a pot automatically replants the seed.^[1]
• A Hopper upgrade lets the pot harvest itself and push items into a chest or another block with an inventory.^[1]
• Pots come in seventeen different colors.^[1]
• Crops, soils and fertilizers are defined through datapacks, and CraftTweaker can remove, modify or add them.^[1]

How it works in practice

Craft a pot, then pick the crop you want and a soil that suits it. Wheat grows in dirt, for example, and nether wart grows in soul sand. Right click the pot with the soil first, then with the seed, and growth starts.^[1]

Growth takes a while, but bone meal and other fertilizers speed it up. When the crop is ready, right click it to harvest and replant in one go. To take items out of the pot, sneak and right click with an empty hand, or just break the block.^[1]

Who it is for

It suits anyone who wants low-effort, compact farms, or a nicer-looking way to grow crops. The simple right-click workflow makes it easy to start, and the Hopper upgrade covers automation.^[1]

Unverified The sources do not show where Botany Pots fits in this pack's progression. They do not show it on the ATM Star path, in any quests, or in any guidebook. The project page lists crop support for several other mods, but the sources do not confirm which of those are in this pack or whether the pack changes any recipes or values.

The mod's own description says Botany Pots lets you grow crops in a pot, and that harvesting a crop in the pot automatically replants the seed. Here is the order I'd go in.^[1]

Step 1: craft the Botany Pot

Everything starts with the Botany Pot. This is the in-pack recipe:^[3]

Step 2: pick a soil and a seed

The mod's description says to think about which crop you want and what it grows in before you plant anything. It says there are many kinds of soil blocks and that certain crops need certain soils, with wheat in dirt and nether wart in soul sand as its examples.^[1]

1. The description starts you off by right clicking the pot with your soil block.^[1]
2. Next you right click the pot with your seed, which the description says starts the growth process.^[1]
3. The crop may take a while, and the description says right clicking with bone meal or other fertilizers can speed it up.^[1]
4. When the crop is done growing, the description says to right click it to harvest, and another is planted automatically.^[1]
5. To remove items from the pot, the description says to sneak and right click with an empty hand. Breaking the block also works.^[1]

Step 3: upgrade to the Hopper Botany Pot

Once the basic pot is running, the Hopper Botany Pot is the upgrade to aim for. The mod's description says it lets the pot harvest itself and put the items in a chest or another block with an inventory. The mod also has an advancement for getting one.^[1][4]

In this pack, one way to make it turns a pot you already have into a hopper pot:^[3]
