Watering Cans [Dew Drop]
by Garden Gals
Players who want watering to work across a field can use Watering Cans [Dew Drop], which adds watering can items with a configurable area of effect for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The mod adds watering cans that water a range of farmland and crops in one use. Server owners set the size and shape of each can's ability range through the server config. Bonemeal can also be tuned: crops can be set to always grow when watered, or the effect can be switched off completely. The mod is inspired by the gameplay of Stardew Valley.
Watering cans can be allowed or blocked in the Nether, either all of them or none. Other special interactions are likewise controlled from the server config. Bot's Lib is required, and the mod bundles Vanilla Watering Cans. Dew Drop Mod Compat is optional. Watering Cans [Dew Drop] runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge across two game versions, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which is not open source.
Key features
Area watering
A single use of a watering can wets a set area of farmland and crops, and the area can be reshaped in the server config.
Bonemeal control
Server owners choose whether bonemeal is applied when watering, including an option that makes crops always grow.
Nether restrictions
Watering cans can be allowed in the Nether for all cans, for none, or set by the server config.
Server-side settings
Special interactions are all controlled by the server config, so one file governs the behavior on a server.
