AutoSow by Neni-o [Light QoL for Farm]
by Neni-o
Right-clicking a grown crop with its planting item in AutoSow harvests the plant, replants it and uses one seed from the inventory.
What it does
Each crop can be enabled or disabled separately in the config, and seed consumption can be toggled as well. Empty-hand interaction works too, as long as the item in hand is the correct planting item.
Dispensers can be used for the same job. A dispenser loaded with shears harvests melons, pumpkins and sweet berries, which lets automated farms run without a player present. Melons can drop as slices or whole blocks, pumpkins always drop as whole blocks, and sweet berries are harvested according to their growth stage.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and the server alone needs it. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20 – 1.21.11. A config file named autosow-common.toml is generated on the first run.
