Good Farming
by Lemmmy
Good Farming makes planting and harvesting crops quicker in Minecraft Beta, and adds a Seed Bag for storing seeds and Bone Meal.
What it does
The mod adjusts several farming mechanics from the Beta version. Crop trampling is changed to follow the fall-height rule used in later versions, Bone Meal is not consumed on crops that cannot grow from it, and right-clicking a crop replants it with seeds from the inventory. Seeds harvested from crops are sent to a matching Seed Bag already in the inventory when one holds at least one seed of that type.
A Seed Bag stores up to 512 seeds or 512 Bone Meal and can only hold one item type at a time. Right-clicking the top block of a 7×5×7 area plants or fills that farmland with the bag's contents, and the bag works from up to 5 blocks away, as regular items do. Seed types, including those from modded blocks, are defined through the good-farming:seed_types namespace in datapacks, with Always More Items given explicit compatibility.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Babric and Fabric, with snapshot builds published alongside, under the MIT License and open source.
Key features
Crop trampling change
Crop trampling follows the fall-height rule from later versions, so a fall from height is needed to trample farmland.
Quick replanting
Right-clicking a crop replants it with seeds from the inventory, avoiding repeated placement of single seeds.
Automatic seed reuse
Seeds from harvested crops go into a matching Seed Bag already in the inventory, keeping the bag topped up.
Seed Bag storage
The Seed Bag holds 512 seeds or 512 Bone Meal, one item type at a time, and is crafted from string and leather.
Area planting
Right-clicking the top block of a 7×5×7 farmland area plants or fills it using the bag's contents.
Datapack seed types
Modded seed types are added through the good-farming:seed_types namespace, as in the bone meal example file.
