Ore Gem Plants

This mod adds these new plants that spawn gems.
-Netherite Plant
-Diamond Plant
-Gold Plant
-Emerald Plant
-Lapis Plant
-Redstone Plant
-Glowstone Plant
-Quartz Plant
-Amethyst Plant
-Copper Plant
-Iron Plant 
-Coal Plant

The seeds needed for planting can be obtained through crafting.
Surround 1 wheat seed with the corresponding materials to get the different seeds. (see images fore more details)
Once you plant the seeds on farmland and wait for a little the plants will start spawning gems corresponding to there type.
These plants use the randomtickspeed to determine when to spawn the gems just like all other crops.
To make the gems spawn faster use “/gamerule randomTickSpeed (value)” WARNING: This will also affect the speed at which grass and all other crops grow.

This mod should work on servers if the client and the server have the mod installed but I have not tested this and will not be addressing any bug related to server use.

This mod will NOT be ported to older versions of Minecraft. I will try to keep it updated for the latest versions of Minecraft but no promises.
