FormidableFarmland
by 2Retr0
Under FormidableFarmland, a jump onto a farmland block no longer crumbles it, and its flattening depends on the height of the fall.
What it does
Vanilla farmland turns back to dirt when a player or mob lands on it, even after a short hop. FormidableFarmland keeps the block intact for small jumps and makes the outcome of a fall depend on how far it drops. A landing from a short height never flattens the farmland, a drop of 2.0 blocks flattens it with a 50% chance, and a drop of 3.5 blocks or more flattens it every time, so falling from a fence post or off a house still ruins the crops below.
The mod also changes how a shovel works on farmland. In vanilla, right-clicking farmland with a shovel can flatten it into a path, which interferes with path-making. Under this mod that interaction is turned off, so farmland stays farmland when a player uses a shovel on it. It runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1.
Key features
Protected small jumps
Short hops leave farmland intact, so small jumps no longer undo a planted field.
Shovel interaction disabled
Right-clicking farmland with a shovel no longer converts it into a path block.
Configurable outcomes
The thresholds and chances behind the flattening rules are set by the mod's configuration, so server owners can tune them.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Crop fields with players on them
Players who walk through their fields and jump over fences keep the planted crops from being lost to small hops.
Multiplayer farms
Server owners who run shared farms can stop accidental trampling from one player's movements on another player's plots.
Who it’s for: Survival players and server owners who want farmland to hold up to ordinary movement, while keeping the fall rules that make high drops still damage crops.
How it compares
No Trample is the closest option for Fabric and is not open source, with files for 1.21.4 – 26.3 under All rights reserved. Jump-proof Farmland is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, covers 1.19.2 – 26.3 and is server-side only, so players do not need it. FormidableFarmland requires both sides and covers only 1.19.2 – 1.20.1.
