Farmetica
Farmetica changes crop hitboxes on Minecraft 1.8.9 so that crops can be harvested without breaking the blocks next to them.
What it does
Farmetica brings back the classic crop hitbox design on 1.8.9, which makes planted crops easier to target. Interacting with a crop no longer breaks a neighboring block by accident, so harvesting a dense field becomes more precise. The mod runs only on the client, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. Files are published for Forge, with 0.0.1 for 1.8.9 as the only version listed.
