Instant Fertilization

by haykam

Instant Fertilization makes bone meal finish crops in a single use, so a planted field is ready at once without waiting through growth stages.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.2 – 1.16.5

What it does

Bone meal normally advances a crop by one stage, but with the mod installed a crop with a final stage that bone meal can reach is taken straight to that stage. The mod works on the server alone, so players join without installing anything.

A blacklist tag named instantfertilization:instant_fertilization_blacklist lets a server owner keep selected blocks on vanilla behavior, so they grow one stage at a time as before. The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric and is published for Fabric only, across the game versions 1.16.2 – 1.16.5. Its code is under the MIT License and it is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Full growth from bone meal

    A single application of bone meal brings a supported crop to its final growth stage immediately.

  2. Crops and plants covered

    Wheat, potatoes, carrots, beetroot, pumpkin and melon stems, and sweet berry bushes are all included.

  3. Saplings and fungi

    Both sapling types, both fungus types and both mushroom plants are also fertilized completely.

  4. Blacklist tag

    A block tag lets a server keep chosen blocks on vanilla growth, one stage per use.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Server owners who want farms to mature faster without changing how players craft or harvest. The change only applies on the server, so players do not need the mod on their own game.

How it compares

Full comparison

Complete Bone Meal is also server-side only and open source, but it is published for Fabric across 1.19 – 1.20.4 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Plant, Don't Eat is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, for Fabric and NeoForge across 1.21 – 1.21.11, so it does not affect growth on a server.

Questions

Does Instant Fertilization need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is required on Fabric, alongside the Fabric loader, and the mod is published only for Fabric.

Do players need the mod installed?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.

Can a server keep some blocks on normal growth?

Yes. Adding a block to the instantfertilization blacklist tag makes it keep vanilla behavior, growing one stage per bone meal use.
