Better Hoe Enchantments

Efficiency on a hoe is raised to act on a set of blocks at once, from 2 blocks at level 1 up to 25 blocks in a 5x5 square at level 5. The shape is centered on the targeted block, and each level widens the area. Crops, grass and small flowers in that area are harvested or tilled in one swing, and the hoe takes damage in proportion to how many blocks it affects. Auto-harvesting only picks up crops at age 0, and Sneaking while using a hoe skips the effect.

Silk Touch reseeds the crops it harvests, and it only applies to crops past age 2. Fortune gives wheat and beetroot crops a chance for extra drops. The effects cover the four vanilla crops (wheat, potatoes, carrots, beetroots) and nether wart, with other plants, including modded crops, also affected. A datapack can change the vanilla Efficiency and Silk Touch enchantment files, and the mod is not compatible with datapacks that alter those files.

The mod is server required and client optional, so a server must run it while players may leave it out. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the files cover 1.21.5 – 26.3. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. The author also published a wiki.
