Farming Mod
by jagrzebyk
Farming Mod adds three sickle tools for harvesting crops and a hydrator block that wets nearby farmland, for NeoForge 1.21.1 – 26.1.2.
What it does
Three sickles are added: Stone Sickle, Iron Sickle and Gold Sickle, each a tool for working crops. The author notes that netherite and diamond sickles are not part of this release. Crafting uses cobblestone for the stone sickle and sugar and tomatoes in the recipes, and a crafted bucket recipe is kept empty after use.
The hydrator is a block that keeps farmland wet. It hydrates a set number of farmland blocks in one direction, with 3, 6 or 9 blocks in its range depending on the variant. It can be placed above farmland but not under it, and it works on farmland at the same Y level. The author describes the hydrators as laggy in some setups.
The mod is for NeoForge only and runs on the client and the server, so both need it. It is published for 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.6 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is licensed under the MIT License, and the project is not open source. The author notes that crops are planned for a later update.

Some recipes take sugar and tomatoes as ingredients, and the iron bucket recipe stays empty after crafting.
