Better Than Farming
by DundiGundi
Better Than Farming is a Fabric food mod for the b1.7.3 version of Minecraft, which adds agriculture and a food overhaul to the game.
What it does
Better Than Farming reworks crops and food for the b1.7.3 release. The mod's Catalyst Core effects are part of its farming system, and the author describes it as an agriculture food overhaul built on Better Adventure. Since the mod is a food overhaul, most of its additions concern growing, harvesting and eating.
Better Than Farming uses a modified build of Fabric Babric, a loader made for early Minecraft versions, and the author states that this modified loader is designed only for Better Adventure and is heavily modified. Files are published for b1.7.3 alone. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Snapshot builds are published as well, and the license is a custom one, so the mod is not open source.

How it compares
Extra Farming Add On Mod is a Fabric mod for 1.21 that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Food Overhaul - Farmer's Delight is a Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License, and it is open source. Better Than Farming targets b1.7.3 only and uses a custom license, which sets it apart from these newer builds.
