Swift Harvest Datapack, Crops Replant Themselves
by MD22
Swift Harvest Datapack makes fully grown crops replant themselves when they are broken, so a field keeps producing without manual sowing.
What it does
The datapack covers wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroot and nether wart. When a grown crop is broken, it sets itself back to age 0 and uses exactly one seed item from the drop for the replant. Harvesting works the normal way, and the rest of the drop goes to the player, so a wheat plant that yields four seeds leaves three. Fortune still applies, and a larger drop simply leaves more seeds after one is used for the replant.
Dropping seeds onto empty farmland plants them as well, and crops planted by hand keep their usual growth rate. Farmers that villagers run are not affected, since they already replant their own crops. The datapack works in existing worlds and needs no stored data, so it can be removed at any time without leaving anything behind. It is a server-side datapack: the server runs it and players install nothing. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 32 release versions, 1.18 – 26.3, and needs Fabric API on Fabric.
Key features
Automatic replanting
A broken grown crop sows itself again from one of its own seed drops, saving a trip back to the field.
Five crop types
Wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroot and nether wart are all covered by the replant behavior.
Normal harvesting
Crops are still harvested by breaking them, and fortune and drop counts are kept as they are in vanilla.
Seeds on farmland
Dropping seeds onto empty farmland plants them, so manual sowing still works for fields that need it.

What the author says
Break a grown crop and it plants itself again. One seed from what you just harvested goes back into the ground, the rest is yours. No more walking the same row twice — once to break, once to replant.
