Ice Prevents Crop Growth
by Serilum
Ice Prevents Crop Growth stops a crop from maturing whenever a block of ice sits underneath it, and is server-side only.
What it does
A crop planted above ice stays at its current growth stage, so a half-grown melon stem or a short cactus can be held in place without any new blocks being added. Bone meal still works on these crops and can bring them to the stage a builder wants. The mod works with both vanilla and modded crops that use growth stages, and it depends on Collective. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing it.
Key features
Frozen crop growth
A crop placed over an ice block stops advancing past the stage it is at when the ice is in place.
Bone meal still applies
Bone meal can still push a frozen crop to a chosen stage, so builders can set the look they want.
Vanilla and modded crops
The effect works on vanilla crops and on modded crops that define growth stages.

What the author says
Ice Prevents Crop Growth is a mod made to make new design features possible without adding blocks. For example a half-grown green melon stem next to your desk, or a short cactus without string above it. When an ice block is placed underneath any block with a crop, the crop will never mature to the next growth stage…
