ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Breaking a fully grown crop with a left click awards experience to the player who harvested it. The reward can be set to spawn experience orbs that the player collects, or to grant the experience directly. The amount is adjustable through the config file the mod generates. Cocoa and modded bushes are covered as well, according to the author notes. The mod is published for Forge across six release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and is released under the MIT License, making it open source. Client and server both need it, so players and the server must run the same install.

Key features

  1. Experience from mature crops

    Harvesting a mature crop with a left click grants experience to the player who broke it.

  2. Orbs or direct experience

    The config lets the reward come as experience orbs that must be collected, or as experience added straight to the player.

  3. Adjustable amounts

    The experience amount is set in the config file, which the author recommends tweaking to suit a world.
