Carrot Scythe
by wdfeer
Carrot Scythe is a Fabric food mod whose scythe gains damage as the player harvests more carrots from fully grown crops.
What it does
Carrot Scythe begins at a base attack damage of 4. Each carrot harvested with it adds to a counter, and the damage bonus grows with that count through a logarithmic formula that the config can adjust through its multiplier, divisor and linear summand. Breaking a fully grown carrot by right-clicking it counts as a harvest, and the harvest also resets the durability.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files target 1.20.1 only, and the mod bundles MidnightLib. Integration with Better Combat adds a scythe-specific swing animation and a bigger attack range when that mod is installed.
Key features
Scaling damage
Damage rises with the number of carrots harvested, following a logarithmic curve rather than a fixed value.
Harvest by right-click
Fully grown carrots are broken by right-clicking, and each one harvested adds to the damage counter.
Configurable formula
The multiplier, divisor and linear summand of the damage formula can be changed in the config.
Durability reset
Harvesting a carrot resets the scythe's durability, so the tool does not wear down through crop work.
Better Combat support
With Better Combat installed, the scythe uses its own swing animation and a longer attack range.
