Enhanced Farming
by Mrbysco
With Enhanced Farming, players can grow fruit and vegetable crops, saplings and fruit trees, plus a set of farming tools and a scarecrow that keeps mobs away from crops.
What it does
Enhanced Farming revives an older Better Farming mod, which has not been available online since 2014. The author intends to bring over the same content as the original and add more in future releases. Vegetables are planted and harvested like other crops.
Rakes gather seeds when used on grass blocks, and a scarecrow pushes mobs away from nearby crops. The mod adds a decent amount of food to craft, including piston-based recipes. Olives and olive oil recipes are in progress, and the author asks players to use Just Enough Items (JEI) to look them up. Installation runs on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Fruit trees
Fruit saplings grow through crop-like stages before becoming trees, so harvests come earlier than with normal saplings.
Vegetable crops
Eleven vegetables, including corn, lettuce, onion, pineapple and tomato, can be planted and harvested.
Rakes and seeds
Rakes used on grass blocks produce seeds, giving an early source for planting without searching the world.
Scarecrow
A scarecrow pushes hostile mobs away from the crops around it.
Crafted food
A decent amount of food can be crafted, including piston-based recipes, and JEI lists the recipes for browsing.
