Features

Growing grass with the Boots of Ostara

If a held block is held in the main- or offhand, valid ground blocks will be converted beneath the player to the corresponding held block, without consuming said block. Giving an armour stand a held block and a set of Boots of Ostara will produce the same effect.

Both players and armour stands can dual-wield held blocks with the Boots of Ostara. The block held in the mainhand will be applied first, followed by the block in the offhand. For example, a player wearing the Boots of Ostara walks over Stone while holding a Moss Block in the mainhand and a Grass Block in the offhand. The mainhand would turn the Stone into Moss Block, and the offhand would immediately turn the Grass Block into Grass Block.

Blocks

Valid blocks, where a ground block will be converted to a held block if the Boots of Ostara wearer is holding that held block.

Ground Block	Held Block
Dirt-type blocks	Grass Block
Moss-replaceable blocks	Moss Block
Dirt or Coarse Dirt	Mycelium
Netherrack	Crimson Nylium
Netherrack	Warped Nylium

Crafting

The Boots of Ostara can be crafted in a Custom Crafter using leather boots, and some plant items. The Grass Block and Moss Block can be interchanged. The leather boots used in the crafting recipe will retain any enchantments, shamirs, lore, or other special properties when upgraded into Boots of Ostara.

Item	Ingredients	Recipe (Custom Crafter)
Boots of Ostara	Grass Block + Leather Boots + Moss Block + Water Bucket + Wheat Seeds

Compatibility

If the player is wearing Boots of Ostara, the effects of Desire Lines will be suppressed.

In order for an armour stand to hold a block, the armour stand must have arms. The Better Armour Stands module provides a way to give an armour stand arms.

Technical Details

Combining the Boots of Ostara with other leather boots in a crafting table will convert them to normal leather boots.

The NBT of the leather boots used in the crafting recipe is copied to the resulting Boots of Ostara. Name, color, and model will only be overwritten if the leather boots did not already have these properties. The lore associated with Boots of Ostara will be prepended to the Lore tag instead of overwriting existing lore. All other tags such as enchantments, durability, and shamirs will be copied directly.

Previous Versions

MC 1.8 Version

The MC 1.8 Version used the last slot of the hotbar for the settings slot rather than the offhand (which did not exist in this MC version). This version also did not have the feature of planting beetroot or nether wart. Armour stands did not have the ability to replace dirt with grass in this version.

MC 1.13-1.16 Versions

Until a certain point after MC 1.16 was released, Boots of Ostara had the ability to automatically place the crop held in the player's offhand on farmland. This ability was removed as Pig Tractors does a better job of implementing this feature.

Additionally, older versions of the module would reset the durability, enchantments, custom model, and other NBT tags when upgraded into Boots of Ostara.
