CropProtection
by hamlaa
CropProtection stops players and other entities from trampling farmland crops on a Fabric server, so planted fields stay intact when people walk across them.
What it does
Crop trampling is the default behavior that turns farmland under a crop into dirt when a player or entity steps on it. CropProtection prevents that trampling for players and entities, which keeps farms usable on multiplayer servers where many people move through the same fields.
The mod was written for a friends' server, after the author found that the existing crop protection mods did not work properly on Minecraft 26.1.2 with Fabric. It is published for that version only, under the MIT License, and is not open source in the sense of publishing its code under an open source license. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything.
Key features
Blocks trampling by players
Players walking over planted crops no longer turn the farmland beneath them into dirt.
Blocks trampling by entities
Mobs and other entities that step on farmland leave the crops in place.
Light server footprint
The mod is kept small and is meant to run on a server without adding noticeable load.

Use cases
Shared survival farms
On a multiplayer server, a farm near spawn stays productive when other players walk through it on their way elsewhere.
Personal worlds
A single player who wants fields to survive wandering mobs and their own movement can use the mod in a local world.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric on Minecraft 26.1.2 who want farmland to stay intact when players and mobs cross it. Players in a single-player world with the same version can also use it.
How it compares
Disable Crop Trampling is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for Fabric across 1.21 – 1.21.11. Secure Crops is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.16.5 – 1.21.10. No trampling on farmland runs on both sides, supports Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and is open source under the MIT License for 1.20.1 – 26.2, so every player needs it too.

What the author says
I originally made this mod just for playing with friends on our server because there were no available crop protection mods working properly on Minecraft 26.1.2 Fabric at the time. Since other people may have the same problem, I decided to upload it publicly so anyone can use it on their own worlds or servers.
