Fast Growth
by pnlt_s
On a Forge server, Fast Growth shortens the time crops and saplings need to ripen, so players spend less time between planting and harvesting.
What it does
The mod raises the random tick speed of the world, which makes crops and saplings reach their next stage sooner. Players who plant and then wait for a long farm cycle get results faster without changing recipes or adding items. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything.
Fast Growth is published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with a single release, 1.0.0, dated 2025-03-18. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code is public. It has no required dependencies.
Key features
Faster crop growth
Crops grow through their stages more quickly, so harvests come around sooner on the server.
Faster sapling growth
Saplings reach the stage where they become trees in less time than in vanilla play.
Random tick speed
The effect works by increasing the random tick speed, which accelerates all growth that depends on random ticks.
