Crop Progress Bar
Crop Progress Bar shows a thin growth bar above each vanilla crop, so farmers can read the growth stage without opening anything.
What it does
Players see a subtle bar hovering above a planted crop that fills as the plant grows. The bar updates in real time and is only drawn over crops the player is looking at, which keeps the view uncluttered. Once a crop is fully grown, the bar can be hidden, so ripe plants stand out without extra markings. Compatibility with vanilla crops is the stated aim, and no other crop types are named by the author.
The mod is a client-side only decoration and utility mod, so the server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. Crop Progress Bar needs Cloth Config API on Fabric and MidnightLib on Forge and NeoForge. Files are published for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, with version 1.2.0 as the latest file on each loader, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Growth bar above crops
A bar drawn above each crop shows its growth stage as the plant develops over time.
Real-time updates
The bar changes as growth advances, so the reading stays current while a player watches a field.
Looking-only display
The bar appears only over the crop the player is looking at, keeping the rest of the farm clear.
Hide when grown
Once a crop reaches its final stage, its bar can be hidden, separating ripe plants from growing ones.
Minimal design
The bar is kept small and unobtrusive, so it adds information without drawing attention away from the field.
