Crop Farming Helper

by Lugo's Archive

Crop Farming Helper is a Fabric client mod that shows where farmland and crops should be placed for faster growth on the player's own screen.

What it does

The mod is a client-side tool that helps players lay out a crop farm. Crops planted in an alternating row pattern grow faster than crops packed beside the same type, and farmland next to an edge grows more slowly. A configurable overlay marks the spots suited to the layout so the player can place crops and farmland accordingly. Growth speed still depends on random ticks, so the overlay shows layout advice and sets no fixed rate.

Install it on the client only, next to Fabric API, OverlayLib and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), which are all required. The mod is published for Fabric and runs on 26.2, with 0.1.2 as the latest file, released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and not open source. Its settings can be opened through Mod Menu, under the cropfarminghelper config entry.

Key features

  1. Optimal layout overlay

    A configurable overlay on the client marks the spots where a crop farm is laid out for growth.

  2. Alternating row pattern

    The overlay favors alternating rows of crops over blocks where one type surrounds the same type.

  3. Farmland edge awareness

    Empty farmland placed beside an edge is flagged, since such farmland grows more slowly.

  4. Hydration guidance

    The overlay also shows how farmland should be hydrated to keep the layout working.

Questions

Does Crop Farming Helper need to be installed on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Fabric API, OverlayLib and YetAnotherConfigLib must be installed alongside it on the client.

Does the overlay set a fixed crop growth rate?

No. Growth speed still depends on random ticks, so the overlay shows a layout that favors growth without setting a fixed rate.

Where are the settings for Crop Farming Helper?

They are opened through Mod Menu, under the cropfarminghelper config entry, which is where the overlay options can be changed.

What the author says

This mod adds a configurable, fully client-side Overlay to the game, showing you if your crop farm is optimal. (All growing speeds still depend on randomness aswell)
