Lazy Crops
Lazy Crops, a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, adds crops that grow resources and entities through seeds that are crafted from one another.
What it does
The mod centers on Lazy Seeds. Seeds craft from other seeds, and a more useful crop takes a more expensive seed. Players who want to upgrade a Lazy Seed craft a Lazier Seed, and then a Laziest Seed. The starting seeds turn up only occasionally while exploring, which makes them a matter of luck. Its author describes the design as simple and as close to vanilla as possible, with essences, mob chunks, machines and magic kept out of the core loop.
Several other crop mods served as a model for Lazy Crops, and the author states the aim of keeping the approach lazy and simple. Fabric API is required. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links to the source code, issue tracker and wiki. The latest Fabric file is 3.0.2 for 1.20.1, published 2023-09-06 on the beta channel, after a first release on 2023-09-01.
Key features
Lazy Seed progression
Seeds craft from other seeds, so each new seed builds on the one before it through a short chain.
Tiered seed upgrades
Lazy Seeds upgrade to Lazier Seeds and then Laziest Seeds, with more useful crops at each tier.
Rare seed discovery
The starting seeds appear only occasionally while exploring, so they are found by chance.
Crops that yield resources
Planted crops produce resources and entities, with the more useful crops costing more to obtain.

Who it’s for: Players who want resource farming without repetitive grinding or many machines, and server owners who want a crop system that stays close to vanilla gameplay.
How it compares
Crop Growth Modifier is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.20.1, so players join without installing it. Mystical Crops is client and server, open source under the MIT License and covers 1.18 – 1.19.2, so it does not target the same version. J&B Farm is client and server for 1.20.1 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is not open source, unlike Lazy Crops.
