Block Farming
by Hdi
Block Farming lets server administrators turn ordinary blocks into renewable harvest points that regrow after players break them.
What it does
Server administrators design custom harvesting loops in which players gather designated resources, and the blocks regrow through visual stages before they can be harvested again. The author describes the mod as useful for servers that want to create renewable farming blocks. Each block can be assigned a target block, a reward drop and a number of recovery stages, so that a field returns after a set cycle.
Players in Adventure mode can only break blocks the administrator has whitelisted as harvestable, and every other block stays untouchable. While a block is still regrowing it is locked, so players cannot break it and cannot grief a field that is still recovering. Administrators control the commands through the blockfarm command family, which is meant for operators.
The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.20.6 only, with 2.2.0 as the latest file on both loaders. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It requires Custom Server Data, and the code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Renewable blocks
Ordinary blocks can be defined as harvest points that produce a server-chosen reward drop when broken.
Per-block tool requirements
Each block can demand a specific tool, such as axes for fruit trees, hoes for crops or pickaxes for ores.
Regrowth stages
Visual recovery stages show the block cycling back to its harvestable form, giving players clear feedback when a field is ready again.
Adventure mode control
Players in Adventure mode may only break whitelisted blocks, which reshapes harvesting into a curated experience.
Harvest particle effects
An optional particle effect can celebrate a successful break, using a tool or block-specific effect.

How it compares
Harvesting Enchantment is a server-required option for Fabric and NeoForge, open source under the MIT License, with files for 26.1 – 26.2, and clients may stay without it. Rae's Better Farming is open source under the MIT License, runs on Quilt with client and server, and covers 1.19.2 – 1.20.1. TerraAdmin is server-side only, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and open source for Fabric 1.20.1, so it does not provide renewable harvest loops.

Turn ordinary blocks into renewable, server-defined harvests.

All commands live under /blockfarm and are intended for operators.
