CropStage

Aim at a plant and a compact readout in the top-left corner gives its name, its current stage and the highest stage it can reach. Wheat, carrots and potatoes count stages 0 to 7, while beetroots count 0 to 3. The readout turns green once the crop has fully grown, so a harvest-ready plant can be spotted without inspection. Vanilla gives no precise figure for how close a crop is to maturity, and the look of a plant is an unreliable guide when beetroots are mixed into a field. CropStage removes the guessing by reading the number directly.

Unlike a global percentage overlay, CropStage reports only the single crop under the crosshair, so a field full of plants does not clutter the screen. The HUD can be toggled on and off with the K key. The mod reads the crop's vanilla age property only and does not change block entities or gameplay. Because it reads the age property generically, the readout stays accurate across game versions even when mappings change.
