Croptosis
Croptosis adds fertilizers and a watering can that speed up crop growth for Fabric players on 1.17.1 – 1.19.
What it does
Four new fertilizers are added, and each one is applied by right-clicking a crop or a block with it. Crops grow about twice as fast as normal under a fertilized block. Feathers and rotten flesh are the inputs for two of the fertilizers, and the remaining pair needs apatite and potash, which are mined from two new ores that only appear in newly generated chunks.
A new watering can fertilizes every crop within a 2-block radius and a 5-block diameter around the player's location, so one action covers a small plot. Different watering cans can be made with separate recipes, and the mod adds colored crafting stations that help sort a base. Croptosis runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.17.1, 1.18.1, 1.18.2 and 1.19, with 1.5.1 for 1.19 as the latest file, released 2022-06-08. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Use cases
Automated farms
Players who want shorter harvest cycles can fertilize a farm plot once and let the crops grow faster.
Who it’s for: Survival players who run farms and server owners who want faster crop production without changing vanilla crop types. Players who prefer a fixed growth boost with no crafting may look elsewhere.
How it compares
Hardened Crops is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.18 – 1.19.4, so players can join without installing anything. FastGrowth is also server-side only, but is not open source; it is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.15.2 – 1.19. Croptosis is the option here that needs both the server and every player to run it.
