Hops
Hops grows wild in Plains and Forest biomes, with roughly a 6% chance per chunk to spawn a patch (it will never spawn in a Cold or Hills-type biome). Each patch is a cluster of already fully-grown plants scattered around a point, and will only take root on grass.
Crop generation can be toggled off via the [config], so if you can't find any, it may be disabled.
If you don't want to search for it, Hop Seeds can also be bought from a [Herbalist Villager] for 3-8 emeralds.
Once planted, Hops grows the same as other crops, requiring sun, light and irrigated farmland.
Unlike other crops though, Hops keeps growing once it hits full maturity, it will start a new segment above it, up to three high.
Only fully-grown segments drop anything worth harvesting - each one yields 0-4 Hop Cones when broken. The bottom segment always drops a seed so you can replant, but upper segments only have a 50% chance to drop a seed, and only once they're fully grown.
Bitter Wheat Wort can be crafted in a [Vat], 5 Wheat and 2 Hop Cones with Water (the Vat needs to be filled to the top) gives Bitter Wheat Wort. This can then be fermented in the Vat up to 2 times to make beer, or fermented in a [Distillery] or matured in a [barrel].
