Green Thumb

by DRECUBED

Green Thumb lets crops, saplings and mushrooms be planted on soil that vanilla does not allow, so farms can be built without tilling the ground first.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.026.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

Green Thumb changes which blocks accept planting. Crops on these blocks still grow, and bone meal still works on them. Farmland remains the only block with a hydration state, so the added blocks behave like unhydrated farmland for growth speed. Crops still grow most efficiently on hydrated farmland, which remains the strongest choice for a farm.

The mod is a server mod, so players join without installing it, but the server must run it. Its license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, and the code is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for the game version range 26.1 – 26.1.2. Configuration is required, and some settings must be checked before a farm is built.

Key features

  1. Planting without tilling

    Crops and saplings can be placed on soil that vanilla would reject, skipping the step of hoeing the ground.

  2. Extra ground types

    Grass, dirt variants, mud, moss and mangrove roots join the blocks that accept planting.

  3. Soul soil for nether wart

    Nether wart can be grown on soul soil, which is a placement vanilla does not allow.

  4. Expanded placement

    With more blocks able to hold crops, players have more room to plan farms in different terrain.

Use cases

Farms on natural terrain

A farm can be planted on the grass or dirt where it stands, without clearing and hoeing the area first.

Who it’s for: Server owners and players who build crop farms on uneven or natural terrain and want more planting options than vanilla allows.

Questions

Does Green Thumb have to be installed on the client?

No. The client is optional, so only the server needs the mod for players to plant on the new blocks.

Does Green Thumb grow crops faster?

No. Crops on the added blocks grow at the speed of unhydrated farmland, and hydrated farmland still gives the fastest growth.

Which loaders are supported?

Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest file 1.0.0+mod for 26.1.2.
