Crops+
by Akaitotem
Crops+ is a Fabric library mod that other crop and food add-ons build on, supplying shared systems so each expansion stays small.
What it does
Crops+ works as a shared foundation for crop and food expansions, handling backend logic such as localization and common data so that sub-mods can stay focused on their specific content. The author describes it as a lightweight library with no extra items of its own, aimed at keeping a modpack modular and organized.
Crops+ must be installed for the add-on mods that depend on it to load, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files target Fabric for 1.20.1 only, the latest being 1.20.1-fabric from 2026-03-31. The mod is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
Built-in automatic support covers seven languages, with translations for each of them shipped inside the library. The author also names the Cucumber Mod and Tomato Mod as examples of expansions built on the same base.
Key features
Shared crop foundation
Supplies a common base that separate crop and food add-ons can rely on instead of each bundling its own core code.
Built-in localization
Ships translations for seven languages, so the interface text of add-ons built on it can be shown in each supported language.
Consistent behavior across add-ons
Keeps the underlying systems the same for every expansion built on it, so content from different authors behaves alike.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Modular crop packs
A pack maker can combine several small crop and food mods that all draw on the same library, rather than installing overlapping cores.
Multiplayer servers with farming add-ons
Server owners install the library once on the server and each player, then add expansions that depend on it.
Who it’s for: Players building farming or food packs for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric, and server owners who run several crop expansions that share one base.
How it compares
Crop Growth Modifier is server-side only, so players can join without installing it, and it is released under the MIT License and is open source; its files target 1.20.1 on Fabric. Nemo's Farming is a client and server mod for Fabric covering 1.20.6 – 1.21.5, also MIT and open source, so it does not overlap with Crops+ on version. Harvest Scythes is client and server for 1.17.1 – 1.20.1 on Fabric, MIT and open source, which makes it the closest match in version range.
