Grass_cleaner
by racxus
Grass_cleaner is a NeoForge tool mod for clearing tall grass, ferns and weeds from an area in a single action.
What it does
The mod adds a custom hoe built for removing vegetation. Instead of breaking one block at a time by hand, a player uses the hoe to clear a large patch of grass quickly, which makes preparing a flat area before a new build much faster. Because the hoe takes the work over, the player's main tools keep their durability for other jobs.
The mod suits builders and terraformers who want a simple, lightweight addition without complex mechanics. It targets a single job, so it adds little beyond the hoe and its clearing behavior. It runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it and the same version has to be installed everywhere. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.8, and version 1.0.0 is the latest, released 2025-12-21. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Fast area clearing
The hoe clears a large patch of grass, tall grass and ferns in one use, not one block at a time.
Weed removal
Weeds and other low vegetation are removed instantly from the area the hoe covers.
Protects main tools
Clearing vegetation with the dedicated hoe spares the durability of a player's main tools.
Builder-focused design
The tool is aimed at flattening ground before starting a new project, with no extra mechanics to learn.
