Farming for Blockheads
by BlayTheNinth
With Farming for Blockheads, players can buy seeds, saplings and bone meal from a Market block, while the mod's chicken nests, feeding troughs, sprinklers and crop boosts handle the rest of the farm.
What it does
The Market block sells seeds, saplings and other items such as bone meal. Trades can be searched, scrolled through and filtered by category, and the list can be extended with further trades and categories through the mod's configuration.
The farming utilities cover the chores around crops and animals. A Chicken Nest gathers the eggs laid by chickens, a Feeding Trough feeds animals automatically, Sprinklers water fields, and fertilizer items improve crop output or growth and can guard plants against tampering.
The mod requires Balm on every loader, and Fabric API on Fabric. Farming for Blockheads is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 30 release versions, 1.18 – 26.3. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
