Hello!
I think that have in the plant element only the X model its a little boring. Imagine I want to make a bush plant (not a dead one), but I don't have a cube (block) model to do it, and I have to make it with X model. Or the same with a Cubik or Blender or others models.
The same for food.
Issue comments
Support for OBJ and JSON models for both foods and plants will be added in the next update. I am closing this ticket now. More info: https://mcreator.net/changelog
We will consider adding this in the future updates.
