FFCropEvaporation
by Fyxe
FFCropEvaporation changes how crops use water, so farmland placed near water can slowly turn that water into a growing block.
What it does
Crops that grow on farmland can make nearby water evaporate on a chance roll, with the water replaced by a block that keeps the crop growing. Crops can also keep growing without water when this is enabled. The chance is weighted by the biome temperature, and every part of the behavior is configurable, including turning the effect off completely. Only crops and the farmland stem are affected.
The idea is to make farming around water more engaging, and the blocks crops replace are set in a weighted table that can be modified. Replacing non-source blocks can be enabled or disabled separately. Fabric API is required, and the mod pairs well with mods such as Finite Water, Simple Water Gravity and Flowing Fluids, which change how water behaves.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and it is server-side only, so only the server needs it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The latest Fabric file is 0.3.0+26.3-fabric for 26.3, dated 2026-10-07.

Biome-based chance
The evaporation chance depends on biome temperature and can be adjusted or disabled in the config.
Weighted replacement table
