FarmingBlock
by biorfn
FarmingBlock is a NeoForge storage mod for 1.21.1 that places one block to automate planting, harvesting and storing crops inside a configurable area.
What it does
The core block is a farm that handles the whole crop cycle: it hydrates the surrounding farmland as a water source, harvests mature crops and stores the results. Operation requires Energy in FE or RF, so power must come from another mod such as Compressed Furnace. A dedicated Auto-Output button can push harvested items straight into adjacent inventories like chests and drawers.
Upgrades are installed as addons in three tiers, covering a larger work radius, a bigger internal energy buffer and faster harvesting. Within the farm's range, crops grow faster once the Growth addon is paired with an Impatient Torch. Settings are changed in game through an in-game config screen, opened with a command, and some changes need a restart. Mystical Agriculture and Mystical Agradditions farmland is supported.
Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, under the MIT License. The code is not open source. Both client and server need the mod, so the server and every player install it.
