Bonemeal Sugar Cane
Bonemeal Sugar Cane lets players use bone meal on sugar cane for instant growth, with dispenser support for automated farms.
What it does
Right-clicking sugar cane with bone meal makes it grow at once, in the same way bone meal speeds up crops and saplings. Dispensers loaded with bone meal and powered by redstone do the same job automatically, so a sugar cane farm can be run without a player standing by. The mod also removes the vanilla height limit of three blocks, so cane can grow taller than it does by default.
The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric alone. Files cover the 1.21.1 and 26.1 – 26.2 game versions, with 1.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest build, dated 2026-08-24. The code is available as source and is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Instant sugar cane growth
Bone meal applied to sugar cane makes it grow immediately, without waiting for the normal growth cycle.
Dispenser automation
Dispensers holding bone meal can fertilize sugar cane when redstone activates them, for hands-off farms.
Raised height limit
Sugar cane is no longer capped at three blocks, so it can reach heights beyond the vanilla limit.
Manual and automatic use
Both right-click use and dispenser use are supported, so the same item works in hand and in machinery.

Quick harvesting on survival servers
Players who need sugar cane fast can grow it on demand without planting a new field.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to offer faster sugar cane production, and players building automated farms on a Fabric server. Players on a server running the mod need no client install.
How it compares
King's Better Bone Meal is server-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and published for 1.21.5 – 26.2, so it covers a wider version range than this mod. Bedrock Bone Meal is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.19.4 – 26.3, but its server is required while client installation is optional. InfiniteSugarCane needs both the client and server and is not open source.
