Crop Growth Modifier
by Saint
Crop Growth Modifier lets a server owner speed up or slow down how quickly every crop grows, by changing the chance that each crop receives a random tick.
What it does
Crop blocks receive random ticks and roll internally on whether to advance. The mod intercepts the randomTick method of CropBlock and rolls once more, deciding whether a tick goes through or is blocked. A tick chance of 0.5 lets only half of the random ticks reach a crop, so it grows at roughly half the vanilla pace.
The mod also sets how many growth stages a crop gains whenever growth happens, whether from bonemeal, a player or automation, and it can schedule extra rolls so a crop gets more than one chance to mature. Options can be edited in the in-game mod menu through Cloth Config. The environment is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and the code is open source under the MIT License, for Fabric files on 1.20.1.
Key features
Global tick chance
A single cropTickChance value scales how often every crop receives a random tick, below or above vanilla speed.
Growth stage amounts
cropGrowthAmountMin and cropGrowthAmountMax set how many stages a crop advances per successful growth event.
Extra growth rolls
cropExtraRollChance schedules additional rolls so a crop can mature more than once per random tick.
Extra roll limit
cropExtraRollMax caps how many extra rolls can happen, which prevents unbounded growth at high chances.
In-game configuration
Settings can be changed from the mod menu with Cloth Config, without editing files by hand.

Use cases
Slowing farms on a server
A server owner lowers the tick chance to make crops grow at a fraction of vanilla speed, for example 0.25 for a quarter of the pace.
Speeding up growth
The tick chance stays at the default while the extra roll chance is raised, so crops get more chances to grow.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to change crop growth speed for every player on a Fabric server running Minecraft 1.20.1.
How it compares
Fast Growth is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is also server-side only and open source, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it does not run on Fabric. Reanviled is a Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.20.2 that can be installed on the client, the server, or both, and is open source under the MIT License. Crop Harvester Info is client required and not open source.
