Herbicide
by adonisbaffin
Herbicide is a Forge magic mod with two spray items that clear vegetation instantly in a fan-shaped sweep or a larger circular blast.
What it does
Two spray items remove grass, plants, flowers and trees in one use, which helps when a build area is covered by overgrown growth or dense forest. A normal spray sweeps a fan-shaped area in front of the player, while a charged spray releases a large circular blast around the target.
The two sprays are crafted from a short recipe chain. The basic Herbicide uses an iron ingot, a water bucket and a glass bottle arranged vertically, and the stronger Potent Herbicide uses a gold ingot, a lava bucket and a glass bottle in the same layout. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1, with the 1.0.0 release dated 2026-04-11, under the MIT License; the mod is not open source.
The mod does not add other content to the game. Its single purpose is clearing vegetation quickly, so it suits terraforming, clearing space before construction and tidying large areas of land on a server.

Who it’s for: Players building in dense or overgrown terrain on Forge 1.20.1 and server owners who want a quick way to clear large areas. Both the server and players need the mod installed.
