Cropcraft
by Gospi
Cropcraft is a NeoForge farming mod in which crops can be crossbred in a genetic laboratory to produce hybrids with new properties.
What it does
The mod adds a Genetic Synthesizer, a multifunctional block that combines the seeds of different crops. Energy drawn from sources such as Redstone Flux, together with resources like pollen and enzymes, drives the process. The machine's interface shows the chance of each possible crossbreeding outcome before a combination is started, so a player can judge a cross ahead of time.
Two growing blocks extend the system. The Advanced Growing System holds plants under controlled conditions, while Fertilized Soil is a new soil type that speeds growth slightly and raises the chance of mutation. An Irrigation System places pipes and water channels beside the beds, watering them automatically and giving an extra growth bonus. Bees and butterflies are added as new mobs that pollinate plants at random, which can create mutations on the plot they visit.
Cropcraft runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, and the latest is version 2.5.0 for 1.21.5, a beta build published on 2025-10-18.

Use cases
Breeding new crops
Players who want unusual fruits with magical properties can cross plants in the Genetic Synthesizer and test the results.
Tracking progress
A table tracks crossbreeding progress, and a priority column helps order the tasks left to do.
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy agricultural progression and want to treat farming as a genetic system rather than planting wheat and carrots. Server owners who run modded survival can add it to a shared farm, since both sides need the mod.
