Forever Wet
by pavle.012
Forever Wet keeps farmland hydrated permanently, so tilled soil stays at the maximum moisture level without water nearby.
What it does
Once dirt is tilled into farmland, Forever Wet locks its moisture at the maximum level of 7. Farmland never dries out and does not revert to regular dirt, including in arid biomes and deep underground. Hydration happens automatically after a short time, so a field needs no nearby water source to stay usable.
The mod runs on the server alone and works in single-player too. Players join a server running it without installing anything, since clients need nothing. It requires Fabric API on Fabric. The NeoForge build has no extra dependency. Blocks are intercepted through Mixin during block ticks, so the mod adds no measurable load to the game's tick cycle. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Permanent hydration
Tilled farmland is locked at moisture level 7 and stays there for the whole game.
Dry-out prevention
Farmland does not dry out or lose its dark texture, even far from any water.
Automatic hydration
Farmland becomes hydrated on its own after some time, with no watering needed.
Block tick interception
Mixin hooks into block ticks to apply the effect with negligible cost to the server.

Use cases
Dry underground farms
Crops grown in caves or arid biomes stay on usable soil without irrigation channels.
Single-player and servers
The same behavior applies whether the world is played alone or hosted for others.
Who it’s for: Players who farm in dry biomes or underground, and server owners who want farmland to stay hydrated for every player without installing anything on the client side.
