Auto Plant Crops
by Tr4nter
Auto Plant Crops is a Fabric client mod that replants, hoes and bonemeals crops automatically as the player works a field.
What it does
Once a crop is harvested, the client plants a seed in its place, and the mod can also plant seeds around a broken crop. Walking over farmland while holding seeds places them automatically, and walking over grass or dirt while holding a hoe turns that ground into farmland. Bone meal can be applied to crops in the same way, and a configurable delay sits between hoeing, planting and bonemealing so the server does not kick the player for sending too many actions.
The mod works in both singleplayer and multiplayer, and each behaviour can be switched on or off in its config file, autofarmcropsconf, which is found in the .minecraft config folder. Holding down Z disables the whole mod at once without a command, and a key can be remapped in the controls. Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to run it.
Auto Plant Crops requires Fabric API and is released under the MIT License as open source. Files target Fabric for 1.19 – 1.21.10, and the latest file, 1.4.1, is for 1.21.10.
Key features
Replant after harvest
A seed is placed on the tile of a broken crop, and seeds can also be planted around it.
Auto farmland and seeding
Walking over dirt with a hoe makes farmland, and walking over farmland with seeds plants them.
Automatic bonemealing
Bone meal is applied to crops as the player walks over them, with its own delay setting.
Configurable behaviour
Each option, including plant-despite-age and a switch back to the previous slot, can be changed in the config file.

Use cases
Large farms in singleplayer
A player with a wide field can keep crops replanted and fertilized while walking through the rows.
Multiplayer farming
The delay setting lets players farm on a server without sending actions fast enough to be kicked.
Who it’s for: Players who farm by hand on Fabric and want planting and bonemealing handled as they walk, in singleplayer or on a server they join.
How it compares
AutoPlantSeeds is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 that runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything, and it is not open source under the MIT License. Client auto replant is a client-only Fabric mod for 1.19.2 – 1.21.11 that is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it covers the same client side as Auto Plant Crops with a different license.
