Growly
by kerim006
Growly shows each crop's growth percentage above the plant, colored by how close it is to harvest, so players can check growth without guessing from the sprite.
What it does
Growly is a lightweight Fabric mod that reads the growth stage of the crop a player looks at and displays the exact percentage above it. The label changes color with the stage: red for early growth, yellow while the crop is still growing, and green once it is ready to harvest. Players can tell from the label alone how far a crop has come and whether it can be picked, without estimating from the plant's appearance.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric and target game version 26.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released on 2026-08-22. The first build came out on 2026-08-12.
Growly has no configuration screen or commands on the Modrinth page, and it does not change how crops grow or are harvested. It only adds the readout to what is already in the world.

Use cases
Checking a farm before harvest
A player walking a field can read each crop's percentage and pick only the green ones.
Planning replanting
Seeing how far young crops have progressed helps a player decide when to return to a plot.
Who it’s for: Players who farm crops in Fabric worlds and want the growth state shown directly. Since only the client needs the mod, it suits single-player and multiplayer players alike.
How it compares
Growly is client-side only, not open source, and targets 26.2 alone. Simple Crop Harvester is server-side only and not open source, with files for 26.1 – 26.2, so it changes the server rather than the player's view.
