🪴Greenhouses
These enable players to build their own biome greenhouses complete with weather, friendly mob spawning, unique plant growth, and even block erosion!
Features
Craft your own self-contained biome greenhouse on an island
Greenhouses can grow plants that cannot normally be grown, like sunflowers
Friendly mobs can spawn if your greenhouse is well-designed - need slimes? Build a swamp greenhouse!
Blocks change in biomes over time - dirt becomes sand in a desert, dirt becomes clay in a river, for example.
How to Build A Greenhouse
Make glass blocks and build a rectangular set of walls with a flat roof.
Put a hopper in the wall or roof.
Put a door in the wall, so you can get in and out.
Type /ob greenhouse and read the rules for the greenhouse you want.
Exit the GUI and place blocks, water, lava, and ice so that you make your desired biome.
Type /ob greenhouses again and click on the biome to make it.
Type /ob greenhouses help to see other options.
Once made:
Use bonemeal to grow small plants on grass blocks immediately in the greenhouse.
Or place bonemeal in the hopper to have the greenhouse sprinkle bonemeal automatically. Come back later to see what grows!
Place a bucket of water (or more) in the hopper to cause snow to fall in cold biomes. Snow will fall when it rains in the world. Each snowfall empties one bucket of water.
Friendly biome-specific mobs may spawn in your greenhouse - the usual rules apply (be more than 24 blocks away).
FAQ
Can I use stained-glass? Yes, you can. It's pretty.
Can I fill my greenhouse full of water? Yes. That's an ocean.
Will a squid spawn there? Maybe... okay, yes it will if it's a big enough ocean.
How do I place a door high up in the wall if the wall is all glass? Place it on a hopper.
How do I place a door on a hopper? Crouch and then place it.
Can I use metal doors? Yes.
Can I use a trap door? Yes.
Can I grow swamp flowers with this? Yes. Make a swamp biome and use bonemeal.
How much bonemeal is used to grow plants? One per successful plant.
How much water do I need to put into the hopper to make it snow? One bucket of water (just the water) is used up every time it rains. This only happens in cold biomes.
Can I build a Nether greenhouse? Try it and see... (Actually, you may need permission)
What kind of mobs spawn in the biomes? It's what you would expect, wolves in Cold Taiga, horses on plains, etc.
