Is there a way to disable part of it's generation, and if so how? What I seek to do is to eliminate any chance of getting seeds that give resources such as ores, mob drops, and so on. Really only wanting the food seeds. Is this possible to do? I am not real familiar with this config, and don't want to screw something up.

The only way to get seeds that give resources such as the ones stated are from breaking crops that are "ores, mob drops, and so on".

The only thing that you MIGHT have a chance at getting is maybe the nature essence, and maybe even the regular essence.

So, you should be fine.

2 Questions then. First, what do the essence seeds do. Second, is there a way to disable those drops then?

Breaking grass will only get you Essence seeds and Crop seeds. You can use the config options below to disable generation of Essence seeds. The Mob drop seeds can only be crafted (using Essence which can only be gotten from Essence plants and Essence ore). You can also disable generation of Essence ore as well.

I:"Disable ability to get Essence seeds, 0 = Enabled(Default), 1 = disabled"=1
I:"Disable/Enable Generation of Essence ore in the Nether, 0 = Enabled(Default), 1 = disabled"=1
I:"Disable/Enable Generation of Essence ore in the overworld, 0 = Enabled(Default), 1 = disabled"=1

You should just use a different mod for tomatoes and food type plants if you dont like Magical crops.

I don't believe you can disable it.

Why do you need them disabled? Save space? Or do you just not like the clutter?

I'm a food nut, so interested in those seeds, but with the mod combination I use and some of the builds I can come up with I figured I'd be to OP so just wanting to disable some of those. By the sounds of it, I can by disabling essence seeds/ore.

Thanks much mate.

I thought about it, but figured since this was a part of the mod pack I use normally (with my modifications) already has it. Figuring just to try something different. Ya, know ? :)

Can't you just choose not to craft the seeds?

That I can do, but I'd rather just disable the generation if at all possible. Would just be useless clutter if I didn't. Just trying to figure out this config file. As it looks different from what John E. posted above.

general {

I:"Change crafting modes, 0 = Normal(Default), 1 = Hard & 2 = Hardcore"=0

I:"Change number between 1-100 for chance of getting second seed drop, 10 = 10%, 20 = 20%(default) and so on."=20

I:"Change to disable or enabled second seed drop, 1 = Enabled (Default), 0 = Disabled"=1

I:"Disable Crafting for Magic Fertiliser, 0 = Enabled(Default), 1 = disabled"=0

I:"Disable Crafting for Magical Books (Magical Books, Infused Pages, Infused Leather), 0 = Enabled(Default), 1 = disabled"=0

I:"Disable Crafting for Magical Items (Natures Gift, Dark Star & Obsidian Skull), 0 = Enabled(Default), 1 = disabled"=0

I:"Enable or disable chance of getting Magic Essence from Magical Crops, 1 = Enabled (Default), 0 = Disabled"=1

I:"Enable or disable particle effects on crops, 1 = Enabled (Default), 0 = Disabled"=1

I:"Use old 16 x 16 textures for Magical Crops, Disable(Default) = 0, Enable = 1"=0

To do what you want you go in to the mod folder and type .disabled after it's file extension (or do it the easy way and disable it with your launcher, it does the same thing). Because you essentially cut out 80% of the mod content by getting rid of the more productive crops. It's like installing TiC JUST for the drying rack or stone torches.
I'm not going to argue whether the mod's balance is broken, I agree it's too powerful. But really you may as well disable the whole mod, if you are playing SSP you might want to substitute magical crops for Agriculture or Pams Harvest. But Pam's does spam your game with a lot of different food that pretty much all do the same thing, but it's definitely better then magical crops for diverse farming. Agricultre is a bit lighter on the amount of new items but has a more involved method of cooking things that can't be reliably automated.
If you are on or running a server though I can understand that would make my suggestion difficult to implement.
