minetest mod Bonemeal
=====================

FARM mod that helps and featured the farming to quickly grow samplings, crops, grass, etc

Information
-----------

Bonemeal is crushed from bones found in dirt or by using player bones, Mulch is
made from a tree trunk surrounded by leaves and Fertiliser is a mix of both,
each of which can be used to quickly grow saplings, crops and grass/decoration,
papyrus on top of dirt and cactus on sand.

Support for ethereal saplings/crops, farming redo crops and moretrees saplings are included.

## Technical info

This mod is named `bonemeal` and must be installed with such name.

This mod adds four new items into the game, bones which can be dug from normal
dirt which can be cooked into bonemeal, mulch which is is crafted using a tree
and 8x leaves, and fertiliser which is a mixture of them both.

Each item can be used on saplings and crops for a chance to grow them quicker
as well as dirt which will generate random grass, flowers or whichever
decoration is registered.

Mulch has a strength of 1, Bonemeal 2 and Fertiliser 3. This means the stronger
the item, the more chance of growing saplings in low light, making crops sprout
quicker or simply decorate a larger area with grass and flowers.
