Gentle Harvest
Gentle Harvest lets a player harvest crops and cocoa blocks with a right click, replanting where the crop was.
What it does
Right-clicking a mature crop harvests it, and the mod also covers cocoa blocks, so a player can collect the pods without breaking the plant. Only mature cocoa beans are taken, and the block remains in place. The harvest is aimed at keeping crops growing rather than clearing them away. Gentle Harvest runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Forge only across 20 release versions, 1.12.2 – 26.1.2, under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Right-click harvesting
A right click on a mature crop collects its produce from the field.
Cocoa bean harvesting
Mature cocoa pods can be picked with a right click, and only ripe beans are taken.
Gentle replanting
The crop is left in the soil to regrow, so farms keep producing without manual reseeding.

What the author says
"Right. Could you maybe... iunno, be a little more gentle in how you do it? Like, maybe not rip them out entirely? Or reseed the plants as you go?" For Cocoa Beans, you can break a mature block, and it will only harvest the mature beans!
