Grow the Crops
by Maikokain
Grow the Crops is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.12.2 that lets players make crops grow faster and brings bonemeal-style growth to plants that lack it.
What it does
Grow the Crops speeds up crop growth through an action taken by the player, in the same spirit as the SquatGrow mod for 1.12 and the Twerk Sim 2k16 concept it draws on. Crops that do not normally respond to bonemeal can be made to grow with it, which gives farms a way to speed up without waiting on the default timers.
The mod includes integrations with several other mods. Industrial Craft 2, AgriCraft and Mystical Agriculture are optional dependencies; when one of them is present, the mod can work with its plants and machinery. Players who do not use these mods can still run Grow the Crops alone.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.12.2, and the latest is 1.0.4, dated 2025-01-08. The source code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the issue tracker is public.

Who it’s for: Players who run agriculture-focused modpacks on Forge 1.12.2 and want a quicker growth method for crops, including server owners who want the same speed-up available to all players.
