Just a Few Ohana
Gardening in Minecraft has always been a bit limited. Vanilla offers a handful of flowers, but for players who love landscaping and botanical variety, that selection runs dry fast. Just a Few Ohana changes that in a big way. This add-on introduces more than 50 new flowers, from delicate Forget-Me-Nots to dramatic Black Bat Flowers, turning any biome into a potential botanical paradise.
The mod is developed by a Japanese creator who openly notes that their English is limited, but the quality of the content speaks for itself. Japanese descriptions are available on the Minecraft Japan Forum thread for players who want to read the original documentation.
What Flowers Does Just a Few Ohana Add?
The flower roster is genuinely impressive. Here is a sample of what you can grow and decorate with:
- Dayflower, Evening Primrose, and Chinese Milk Vetches
- Forget-Me-Nots and African Daisies in three colors
- Red Spider Lily, Orange Spider Lily, and Beach Spider Lily
- Black Tulip and Blood-Red Iris
- Marigolds in two colors, plus Snapdragons in three colors
- Bluebell, Gloriosa, and Fasciated Dandelion
- White Egret Orchid, Bells of Ireland, and Black Bat Flower
- Bird of Paradise, Brazilian Plume, and Dancing Ladies Ginger
- Pansies in three colors, Snowdrop, and Winter Heath
- Jade Vine, Green Tulip, and Oakleaf Hydrangea
- Cardinal Flower, Sea Holly, Sea Thrift, and Sturt's Desert Pea
Many of these flowers were carried over from the author's earlier mod, while others are brand new additions. Some entries, like Bluebell and Spotted Bellflowers, were removed in later versions, so it pays to check which build you are running before planning your garden layout.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
Just a Few Ohana supports Forge starting from Minecraft 1.20.2 and NeoForge from 1.20.4 onward. There are no plans for a Fabric or Quilt port, and the author has confirmed that backports to older versions such as 1.17.x, 1.18, or 1.19 are not happening. If you are on a modern modded setup with Forge or NeoForge, you are good to go.
If you want the smoothest possible experience, the foxygame.net launcher bundles Just a Few Ohana directly into its add-on catalog, so you can add it to a compatible profile without ever touching a manual file transfer.
Recipes and Crafting
Just a Few Ohana does not just spawn flowers in the world. It includes crafting recipes so you can produce them yourself. The author recommends installing Just Enough Items (JEI) to browse every recipe in-game. Without JEI, you may find yourself guessing at combinations, which is not ideal when you are trying to mass-produce a specific bloom for a build.
How to Install Just a Few Ohana
Installation follows the standard modding routine:
- Confirm you are running a supported Forge or NeoForge version of Minecraft.
- Download Just a Few Ohana from a trusted source.
- Place the .jar file into your mods folder.
- Launch the game through your modded profile and verify the mod loads correctly.
If you use a launcher with one-click install support, the process is even shorter. The foxygame.net launcher, for example, handles version compatibility and auto-updates for Just a Few Ohana, which saves you from manually matching mod builds to game versions every time something changes.
Modpacks and Permissions
The author explicitly allows use in modpacks. You are free to include Just a Few Ohana in any pack you build or publish. There is no Discord server and no donation page, so do not ask. The creator keeps things simple and focused on the mod itself.
Final Thoughts
Just a Few Ohana is a focused, well-maintained flower mod that fills a real gap in Minecraft's decorative options. With over 50 species, ongoing updates, and clear support for Forge and NeoForge on modern versions, it is an easy recommendation for builders, landscapers, and anyone who wants their world to feel more alive. Download Just a Few Ohana, grab JEI, and start planting.
