Hey guys, I haven't done a suggestion in a while so here I am,and today I'll be talking about the suggestions on plants I have so let's get started! :D

First of all I noticed that in Savannahs that the acacia trees are just jungle wood&oak leaves,and in Roofed forests the dark oak trees are just normal oak wood&leaves,so first I have to suggest dark oak&acacia trees,wood,leaves,and saplings and how to do this in the Survival Mode server without resetting everything is by(depending on biome types) making flowers,grass,ferns,wild crops(later in suggestion list),bushes(later in the suggestion list),mushrooms,melons,pumpkins,squash(later in suggestion list),and saplings randomly(but relatively rare occurring) on dirt-with-grass blocks that are under very bright,or slightly shaded light levels(mushrooms&ferns will however only appear in darker light levels similar to real life).

Also other trees I would like to see be added are willow trees(for swamps),mangrove trees(for swamps&rarely in shallow oceans),palm trees(for jungles,tropical island plains,beaches in warm biomes,and deserts),bocab trees(for Savannahs),red-wood trees(for taigas),fruit trees(for jungle&tropical island plains),apple trees(the leaves drop apples at a 15% chance! for small oak forests/the forests without the huge oak trees),cocoa trees(for jungles),pine trees(for taigas,and small oak forests),cherry blossom trees(for temperate climate plains),dead trees(doesn't have any leaves or sapling,this variant is only a new wood log&plank block. For deserts,mesas,savannahs,and The Nether when that's ever added),and mushroom trees(basically the giant mushrooms from MineCraft. For mushroom islands&roofed forests/the forests with huge oak trees).

 

Also I think leaves should drop more than oak saplings&apples,first off each leaf block type should drop their own sapling.Also dark oak leaves should drop golden apples at a 1/1,000 chance along with the same apple drop rate as normal oak leaves while apple tree leaves will drop apples at a 15% chance,making apple trees a better apple source than oak trees.

 

Things that all leaves in general should drop are sticks(50%),their own saplings(10%),eggs(eggs of most bird or reptile mobs I've suggested/but the type of egg dropped also depends on biomes to,along with chicken and turkey eggs,5%),empty nests(crafted with 5 sticks&1 hay bale,birds or reptiles can lay eggs there,and after 5 minutes the eggs will hatch into a baby version of the egg of the mob they've came from,a single nest can hold 3 eggs,eggs layed in nests don't despawn/good for animal farming,and if you want to take the eggs from a nest you can mine the nest and it'll drop all eggs it was holding along with 5 sticks&one hay bale,and if you want to put the eggs back in the nest,click on a nest with an eggs to open a nest menu,and you can put an egg on each of the 3 slots, drops from leaves at a chance of 8% ),live insect items(insect spawn egg-like things that spawn insects of the type of insect spawner is used,looks like a pixelated item version of the used insect. Beetle/10%,ant/10%,bee/10%,butterfly/8%,firefly/8%,snail/8%,neutral silverfish/6%,tiny spider/6%) and their fruit(spruce,red-wood,and pine trees drop pine nuts at a 1/100 chance,oaks&dark oaks drop acorns at a 1/100 chance,jungle,and palm trees can drop cocoa beans at a 1/200 chance while cocoa trees drop cocoa beans at a 1/80 chance,fruit trees can drop oranges,limes,lemons,grapefruit,guava fruits,mangoes,peaches,pears,Papayas,and Avocadoes all at a 10% chance jungle trees also drop guava fruits, Papayas,and mangoes at a 1/150 chance,palm trees will drop coconuts&bananas at a 1/100 chance though palm trees can generate with coconuts at each side of the top palm tree wood block that isn't covered by palm leaves,dark oak trees drop golden apples at a 1/1,000 chance,and apple tree leaves drop apples at a 15%).

 

Also I think that plants should be a source of water(more of a World of Cubes suggestion,but if a thirst bar is added than this would be a good thing for PoC too), this is meant to represent the morning dew that appears on grass&other plants. How this works is if you mine leaves,grass,ferns,flowers,mushrooms,sugarcanes,and cactus with an empty bottle,and you'll get a water bottle at a 10% chance(20% on jungle,cocoa,palm leaves,sugarcanes,and cactus), which then you can craft a water bucket by 4 water bottles&1 empty bucket.However,an alternative way is to mine snow with an empty bucket(40% from snow sheet,and 100% from a snow block)and you'll get a bucket of snow,which you can then smelt in a furnace to get a water bucket.  

Also I think that there should be more crops in the game.Corn seeds can be collected from grass uncommonly,tomato seeds can sometimes be collected from grass,cotton seeds can be collected from ferns uncommonly,squash seeds(along with pumpkin seeds/1/50 chance,melon seeds/1/50 chance in jungles&topical island plains only,wheat seeds/1/5 chance,beetroot seeds/1/15 chance,carrots/1/40 chance,and potatoes/1/30 chance)can be obtained by tilling dirt-with-grass by an iron-or-better hoe at a 1/40 chance in deserts,mesas,flower forests,plains,jungles,and tropical island plains only,and 4 onion seeds can be crafted by 1 Allium flower(since Alliums are wild onions). Also wild wheat crops can uncommonly be found in deserts,all oak forest variants,plains,and mountain biomes,wild beetroot crops can uncommonly be found in small oak forests,plains, temperate biome beaches,and tiagas,wild potatoe crops can rarely be found in mountain biomes and small forests,and wild carrot crops can very rarely be found in mountain biomes,plains,roofed forests,and jungles.

Fully grown cotton crops give you 1-3 string and 1-3 cotton seeds,which string can make bows,wool,and in PoC's future there will be so many more uses to string&wool.

 

Fully grown corn(a 2 block tall crop)will drop 1-2 corn,and 1-3 corn seeds,and corn will replenish 3 hunger bars,and 1 corn can craft 6 corn kernels which replenishes 0.5 hunger bars,and corn kernels can be cooked in the furnace to make popcorn,which can then be crafted with butter(click on a butter churn(crafted by 5 wooden planks,1 wood pressure plate,and 2 sticks) to open it's menu,in it there is a slot to put a milk bucket in,a bar,and a button that you have to click 10 times at any speed to make cream,making it one of the only interactable blocks that need manual labor for it to work,once you make cream,cook it in a furnace to make butter) or cheese(cook a milk bucket in a furnace,you get the bucket back after the cheese is made) to make buttered or cheesy popcorn that can fill 1 hunger bar.Corn can also craft 3 corn husks which can be crafted into a hay bale,which can then make 9 wheat because wheat was descended from corn,Husk Zombies(a variant of Zombie that spawns in desert type biomes,doesn't burn in daylight,and infects you with the hunger effect for 20 seconds if it attacks you)will drop 1 corn husk at a 20%chance because that way you could possibly make food in the form of bread in the desert,and because wordplay! xD so win-win right?Lol.

 

Fully grown tomatoes will drop 1-3 tomatoes and 1-3 tomato seeds,tomatoes can replenish 1 hunger bar,but can be crafted with 1 bread,1 cheese,and 1 tomato into cheese pizza which can replenish 3.5 hunger bars,and if crafted with 1 cooked chicken,porkchop,or beef will craft pepperoni pizza which replenishes 4.5 hunger bars, tomatoes can also craft Dandelion salad(1 bowl,5 dandelions,2 tomatoes,2 onions,and 1 salt crystal(from salt ore) ) which will replenish 5 hunger bars(there's also a red variety of Dandelion salad made out of Red dandelions(a flower I've suggested that'll be a super rare valuable flower that directs you to temples and can extremely rarely drops diamonds,emeralds,and ruby gems when you mine it)instead of normal dandelions,that when eaten will give you resistance 3,fire resistance,speed 2,and regeneration 2 for 3 minutes,but keep in mind that red dandelions will be even rarer than enchanted golden apples,so I think the effects are fair). 1 Tomato can also make red dye.

 

Fully grown onions will drop 1-4 onions,and 1-2 onion seeds,onions can replenish 1 hunger bar,but can be cooked in a furnace to make grilled onion which replenishes 2 hunger bars,onions can also used to craft dandelion salad. Onions can make 1 magenta dye.

 

Squash crops grow just like pumpkins and melons,and when fully grown a squash block will be placed next to the squash stalk.when broken,a squash block will drop squash chunks(9 of them crafts a squash block) which 1 squash chunk can make 1 squash seed,squash chunks can also be eaten to replenish 3.5 hunger bars.

 

Beetroot,and carrots should be able to be cooked in a furnace to make grilled beetroot(2 hunger bars) and grilled carrots(2.5 hunger bars), also beetroot crops should drop 1-6 beetroots instead of always just one,also rabbits should also be breed by flowers,also pigs should also be breed by corn,onions,and squash chunks,also bird mobs should be breed by all seeds,also after you eat a melon slice it should add a melon seed in your inventory afterwards,also mossy cobblestone can be crafted out of 4 moss(later in the suggestion list)and one cobblestone and also by 8 aleage(later in the suggestion list)and one cobblestone,Also 1 plank can be crafted by 4 sticks,Also podzol should be crafted by 4 spruce,pine,or Red-wood leaves and 1 dirt block.

Also I think that bonemeal on PoC should be more advanced than MineCraft's bonemeal by making it to that if you use bonemeal on dirt-with-grass, along with the grass,ferns,and flowers that appear(certain flowers depend on biome),deferent saplings(depends on biome)and bushes(later in the suggestion list)will also appear,also mushrooms will appear too if you used bonemeal on a dirt-with-grass block that's in a darker place.if you use bonemeal on dirt,the dirt will turn into a dirt-with-grass block.

if you use bonemeal on logs in humid biomes(jungles,tropical island plains,swamps,shallow oceans),vines might appear if moss&shelf mushrooms(fungi plants that spread more like mushrooms than vines,so they barely spread.they'll appear on bonemealed logs in every biome,even tundras)don't appear in it's place instead.

if you use bonemeal on the water's surface,lily pads and water lilies(lily pads with pink/white/red/orange/purple/yellow flowers on them)will appear,and if near sand blocks next to the water,sugarcanes will also appear,along with reeds and cat-tails if the block was dirt-with-grass instead.

 

if bonemeal was used on mycelium,then mushroom flowers(later in the suggestion list), Cyan roses(later in the suggestion list),red,brown,and white mushrooms(the most common mushroom,can be cooked,along with brown mushooms to make cooked mushrooms which replenishes 2 hunger bars,though if red mushrooms were smelted,you'ld get red dye. Red mushrooms&poisonous potatoes can also make poison potions) will appear on the ground's surface,and shelf mushrooms will occasionally appear on the side of mycelium blocks,also if bonemeal is used on mushrooms,then it'll turn red/brown/white mushrooms into red/brown/white trees.

 

if bonemeal is used on the bottom of a body of water, aleage(all biomes),water plants(all biomes),kelp(shallow ocean,deep ocean),sea weed(shallow ocean,deep ocean,ice ocean,beaches,swamp,tropical island plains),coral(corals 16 color variations. shallow ocean,warm climate beaches,tropical island plains),sea anemones(poisons you if stood on. shallow ocean,deep ocean, beaches,swamp,tropical island plains,ice ocean),and sponges(shallow ocean,deep ocean,beaches,swamp,tropical island plains,ice ocean)will appear.

If used on Netherack,red/brown/white mushrooms,fire lilies(later in suggestion list),and flame tulips(later in suggestion list) will appear,and if used near soul sand,netherwart will sometimes appear too.

Also bonemeal should speed up sugarcane,cactus,netherwart,vine,moss,aleage, flower,grass,bush,fern, mushroom flower,coral,sea anemone,and aquatic plant growth&spread rate,along with affecting saplings,crops,and mushrooms.

Also I think that bushes should be added in,bushes are textured just like the dead bush,but the leaves part is green,and the stem part is a darker Brown.when mined bushes drop sticks(which could be crafted into planks),bush leaves(9 bush leaves craft a hedge block,which is similar to a fence or stone wall),bush seeds(bushes can be farmed),berries(replenishes 1 hunger bar), poisonous berries(obtained by a 1/250 chance,replenishes 0.5 hunger bars,effects you with poison for 10 seconds,very bad saturation),and wheat&beetroot seeds(like grass). bushes can be found in almost every biome.

Also I would like to suggest some more flower types to added to PoC: dandelion,Yellow tulip(re-named version of the game's current yellow flower),Purple tulip(a purple version of PoC's current yellow flower),purple orchid,white orchid,red Allium,white Allium,yellow lily,purple lily,orange lily,white lily,pink lily,red lily,clover(a 4-leafed green plant with a white flower on top,used in a potion of luck,it can also be used to make lime&light gray dye),viola,blue germainium, mushroom flower(a flower with red&white spotted pedals and a stem the same shade of purple as mycelium,is only found on mushroom biomes,will sometimes drop live mushroom beetle items,mushroom flower seeds,and wheat&beetroot(not the seeds,so you can breed mooshrooms&have beetroot,but not in huge amounts),Fire lily(if you stand on it,it'll set you on fire,but not mobs,though it can be used in a brewing stand to make resistance potions),Flame tulip(if stood on,it'll give you Fire Resistance for 5 seconds,but will set mobs on fire if they step on it,it can be used to make fire resistance potions,flame tulips can also be crafted into 6 flame tulip pedals which replenishes 1 hunger bar,and has the same saturation as carrots),carnation,Daffodil,Iris,snapdragon,Gerbera, Calla,Anemone flower,Dahlia,and Red Dandelion.

Also I think think that 2 block tall flowers should also be added to PoC,like lilacs,peonies,sunflowers,rose bushes,and cyan rose bushes. 1 Sunflower can make 4 Sunflower seeds in a crafting table,which can be used to farm sunflowers,and sunflower seeds can be cooked in a furnace to make cooked sunflower seeds which replenishes 1.5 hunger bars.sunflowers can also be crafted into 2 yellow dye. Rose Bushes will naturally appear as one block tall roses that look exactly the same as how they looked like when there were roses instead of poppies in PoC,but after time roses will grow into rose bushes,which 1 rose bush can be crafted into 6 roses,which can be planted back again to grow more roses,and then there's a 1/500 chance that a normal rose will grow into a cyan rose bush(which will start growing cyan roses),but an alternative way to get cyan roses is by using bonemeal on mycelium for cyan roses to appear. If you stand in a rose bush,like a cactus you'll start getting damaged by the thorns,but if you stand in a cyan rose bush,along with thorns damage,you'll get night vision for 1 minute.Normal roses(not the bush) can be crafted into 2 red dye,and Cyan roses(not the bush) can be crafted into 2 cyan dye.

BlueTangs Rock3,yup,  except for the idea of a 50% chance of getting an apple... I'd rather 10% so it wouldn't be so common :P

TUO, the reason why I said 50% was about apple trees,which would be the new way to get apples,because in real life you wouldn't go to an oak tree to get apples,but I kinda understand your point there. How about a 25% chance of getting an apple from Apple tree leaves?

BlueTangs Rock3, Nice! The game would look much different (In a good way) if your ideas were used in the game as you come up with them!

My suggestion was bonemeal, and it said it was added in the new update v3.3.3 but whenever I try to craft it I simply cannot find bonemeal in the crafting table menu.

Anyone know how to make bonemeal? I even tried to just grow plants by tapping them with the bone but no luck.

DEAD_P00L,maybe it's buggy.

DEAD_P00L,sorry, bonemeal will be added to the next update. We made a typo. As bonemeal was on testing, and that's why it was not added to release v3.3.3.
