Hempdustry 2 on Minecraft 1.16.5, for Forge, and how it opens a GanjaCraft world so you can keep playing in it. It is the same mod as on the newer versions, minus what Minecraft 1.16.5 itself does not have. This page covers what is different, which GanjaCraft builds it reads, what each GanjaCraft item becomes, and what does not come through.

Which GanjaCraft worlds open

GanjaCraft has had two lives on Minecraft 1.16.5, both under the mod id ganjacraft (About):

GanjaCraft	What it is	Opens?
BETA v0.4, v0.5, v0.5.1	the original, made with MCreator by Warlon Mhite	yes
1.0.0 to 1.0.6 ("Ganja Craft")	NotTyzo's rewrite in Java, for the Reforged Network server	yes

The two families saved almost entirely different ids, and Hempdustry knows all of them, so you do not need to know which version your world was made with. A world that went through several GanjaCraft versions opens too.

Not covered:

• Hemp-Craft, the mod the rewrite later became, under its new name and id, is a Minecraft 1.18 mod: its worlds open on the 1.18.2 build, not on this one.
• GanjaCraft for any Minecraft other than 1.16.5, such as the 1.18 builds on the old CurseForge page.

One thing nobody can bring back: when GanjaCraft itself went from v0.5.1 to 1.0.0, Forge deleted every block and item the new version no longer had (the old crops, the old hemp bale, the old planks, and so on) the first time the world was opened. A world that made that jump has already lost them, and Hempdustry converts only what is still there.

Bringing a GanjaCraft world over

1. Back up the world. Copy the whole world folder (saves/<world> in singleplayer, the server's world folder on a server) somewhere safe. The conversion only goes one way.
2. Take the GanjaCraft jar out of your mods folder. Do not run GanjaCraft and Hempdustry together.
3. Put hempdustry-forge-2.1.0+1.16.5.jar in the mods folder, on Forge 36.2.39 or newer (Installation).
4. Open the world. Forge does not ask about the missing GanjaCraft entries: Hempdustry tells it they are expected, and the world opens straight away.

Each part of the world is converted the first time it loads: your own inventory, what you wear and hold, and your ender chest, the blocks, what chests, barrels, shulker boxes, minecarts, item frames, armour stands and donkeys hold, dropped items, signs, paintings and villagers. Places you have not been back to since convert when you go there, so nothing needs a "convert everything" pass. Once a part of the world has been saved by Hempdustry, it is a plain Hempdustry world there.

The first time you join, Hempdustry sees what you are carrying, so expect a run of advancements and "New Recipes Unlocked" at once.

Forgot to take GanjaCraft out? Nothing breaks. Hempdustry converts the world all the same, but anything GanjaCraft you make while both are installed turns into its Hempdustry equivalent the next time the world loads. Take the jar out and carry on.

Held a lighter in your off hand? GanjaCraft's pipes wanted it there. It is now a flint and steel in your off hand, and a right-click your main hand has no use for (an empty hand on a block, an empty bucket) strikes it and lights a fire. Hemp planks, hemp bricks and hempcrete do not burn; hemp wool, carpet, the Hemp Bed, bales and you do. Move it into your inventory.

What each GanjaCraft thing becomes

GanjaCraft things that Hempdustry has an equivalent for become that equivalent. Those it has none for become the nearest Hempdustry or vanilla item, so nothing you owned simply vanishes. The names below are as GanjaCraft showed them; both families are listed together.

Crops and seeds

GanjaCraft	Becomes
Indica / Cannabis crop, at any stage	Purple Kush plant at the same stage
Sativa crop, at any stage	Lemon Haze plant at the same stage (two blocks tall from stage 4, three from stage 6, as in GanjaCraft)
Indica / Cannabis seeds	Purple Kush Seeds
Sativa seeds	Lemon Haze Seeds
Indica / Sativa bud, dried or not	Purple Kush / Lemon Haze Buds

A plant goes on growing by Hempdustry's rules (Growing Hemp).

Building blocks

GanjaCraft	Becomes
Hemp Bale	Hemp Bale, lying the same way
Hemp Bricks, and their slab, stairs and wall	Block of Hemp Bricks, slab, stairs, wall
Hemp Planks, and their slab, stairs, fence and fence gate	Block of Hemp Planks, slab, stairs, fence, fence gate
Hemp Door, Hemp Trapdoor	Hemp Door, Hemp Trapdoor
Hempcrete Block, Hempcrete Powder	Block of Hempcrete, Block of Hempcrete Powder
Hemp Sign, on a post or on a wall	Hemp Sign, with its text

Every block keeps its shape and the way it faces: a stair stays a stair facing the same way, a slab stays top or bottom, a door stays open or shut.

Materials and food

GanjaCraft	Becomes
Hemp Stem, Hemp Fiber, Hemp Brick, Hempcrete, Hemp Flour, Cannabutter	the same in Hempdustry
Cooked Seeds	Toasted Hemp Seeds
Hemp Smoothie, Hemp Tea	Hemp Seed Bar
Magic Cookie	Space Cookie
Indica Gummy, Sativa Gummy	Dawamesk
Golden Cannapple	golden apple
Golden Cannarot / Cannarrot	golden carrot

Smoking

GanjaCraft	Becomes
Indica / Sativa Spliff	Spliff, rolled with one bud of that strain
Indica / Sativa Bong	Bong, packed with one bud of that strain, 3 hits
Indica / Sativa Pipe	Wooden Pipe, packed with one bud of that strain, 2 hits
Empty Bong	empty Bong
Empty Pipe, Wooden pipe	empty Wooden Pipe
Rolling Paper	paper
Lighter	flint and steel
Hemp Firestarter	coal

How each of them smokes: Smoking Gear.

The outfit

GanjaCraft	Becomes
Hemp Hat / Beanie	Hemp Beanie
Hemp Shirt / Outfit Body	Hemp Shirt
Hemp Pants / Harem Pants	Hemp Harem Pants
Hemp Flip Flops	Flip Flops

More: Hemp Outfit.

Music, paintings and mobs

GanjaCraft	Becomes
Ganja Disc	Music Disc, Nefuß: Moonlight
Afroman Disc	Music Disc, Nefuß: Robadob
Weedman, hemp villager	an ordinary villager
Bob Marley (both sizes), Hendrix (both), Snoop Dogg (both), Bernard Rappaz, Pineapple Express, Rihanna	Hempdustry's own painting of the same subject (Furniture and Decoration)
every other GanjaCraft painting	a vanilla painting of about the same size, on the same wall

What does not come through

Said plainly, so nothing surprises you:

• A ripe Lemon Haze from GanjaCraft 1.0.x arrives one step short of ripe. That GanjaCraft's Lemon Haze never grew a third block, and Hempdustry's needs one to ripen, so it comes in at stage 5 and grows its top on its own.
• A packed spliff, bong or pipe holds one bud, whatever GanjaCraft had left in it, with a fresh 3 hits for a bong and 2 for a pipe.
• Golden Cannapples and Cannarots lose their special effects. They become a vanilla golden apple and golden carrot.
• Hemp villagers and the Weedman lose their trades. They become ordinary villagers, who take up a job as any villager does.
• Paintings with no vanilla size of their own (GanjaCraft had some 2 × 3 and 3 × 2 ones) become the nearest vanilla size.
• A crop's growth timer is not carried over: the plant grows on from its stage by Hempdustry's rules.
• Stacks bigger than Hempdustry allows keep their count. GanjaCraft stacked empty bongs and pipes to 64 and the BETA spliffs to 64; Hempdustry's bong and pipe stack to 1 and its spliff to 16. A slot that held 64 empty bongs holds 64 Bongs. You can move such a stack around as one and use it one at a time; nothing is lost. Anything you make or find from then on stacks by Hempdustry's limits. Later, on Minecraft 1.20.5 and newer, a donkey's, mule's or llama's pack trims such a slot to the item's limit when the world loads. Chests and other containers do not.
• GanjaCraft's particles, sounds and loot were never saved in the world, so there is nothing of them to convert.

What 1.16.5 does not have

Some of Hempdustry 2 is built on things Minecraft added after 1.16.5, so the 1.16.5 build goes without them:

Missing on 1.16.5	Why
Hemp Hanging Sign	hanging signs came with Minecraft 1.20
Hemp Boat with Chest	chest boats came with 1.19
Tinted Bong	tinted glass came with 1.17
Hemp Shelf, Hemp Harness, bundles from canvas	not on 1.21.1 either: shelves, the happy ghast and bundles are all newer (Installation)
Wild Purple Kush in lush caves	lush caves came with 1.17; it still grows in plains, jungles and swamps
Goats following and breeding on a Hemp Leaf	goats came with 1.17
A Lava Cauldron as a heat source	lava cauldrons came with 1.17; lava and magma blocks still heat
Hemp in archaeology finds	archaeology came with 1.20
Armour trims on the hemp outfit	trims came with 1.20
The Hemp Beanie keeping you from freezing in powder snow	powder snow came with 1.17
The Hemp Press's hot plate and the Hydro Tray's light drawn glowing	1.16.5 cannot draw part of a block glowing; they work the same, they only look unlit
REI and EMI pages	JEI only on this version

Two recipes change because their ingredient does not exist yet: anything asking for a copper ingot takes an iron ingot, and the Grow Lamp takes purple stained glass in place of amethyst.

Everything else is there and plays the same: all three strains, trimming, indoor growing, the smoking gear, the hash family and the extraction bench, the Redstone Vaporizer, cannabutter and edibles, hemp food, the building sets, the outfit, the bed, the paintings and discs, and the advancements.

Moving on to a newer Minecraft

A 1.16.5 world, a converted GanjaCraft world included, can be taken to a newer Minecraft like any other (Installation). Back it up first. Every route has been tried with a full GanjaCraft 1.0.6 world: straight to NeoForge 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.2 or 26.3, or one version at a time. Everything came through.

Wait for Hempdustry 2.1.1 on the newer Minecraft, the coming patch (Roadmap). 2.1.0 opens the world but does not read what a packed spliff, bong or pipe saved on 1.16.5, so those come out empty.

For servers and pack makers

Needs	Minecraft 1.16.5, Forge 36.2.39 or newer, Java 8. JEI 7 is optional
pack.mcmeta	pack_format 6, for data packs and resource packs alike
Config	the same file and the same keys as on every other version (Configuration)
Ids	the same hempdustry: ids as on the newer versions, so a world moves up with everything it holds, apart from the things listed above. A datapack does not move unchanged: 1.16.5's folders, recipes and loot are written the old way (Datapacks)
GanjaCraft	nothing to set up. Take the GanjaCraft jar out of the server's mods folder and start the server. Players' inventories convert when each player first joins
