Magic Wooden Barrel
by NillFall
Magic Wooden Barrel is a NeoForge storage mod that adds two barrel blocks for automatic crop harvesting and storage, built for Minecraft 26.2.
What it does
Two new blocks are added: a Magic Barrel and a Timer Barrel. A Magic Barrel scans the area around it for crops, harvests the ready ones and places the drops into its own inventory. After harvesting, it can plant seeds again, so a field keeps producing without manual replanting. The Timer Barrel works on a schedule rather than continuously, which lets a player set how often the harvest cycle runs.
The mod is aimed at automatic farming setups in survival worlds and on servers, where farms run unattended and the output gathers in one place. Because the barrels keep their drops inside their inventory, a row of them can serve as a collection point at the end of a crop line. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and its only published build targets NeoForge for 26.2.
Key features
Magic Barrel
Harvests nearby crops automatically and stores the drops inside the barrel's inventory.
Automatic replanting
After a harvest, the barrel plants seeds again so the same area keeps producing.
Timer Barrel
A second block that runs the harvest cycle on a timer instead of continuously.
Drops kept in the barrel
Collected items stay in the barrel's inventory, so they can be pulled out by hand or by a hopper.

Use cases
Unattended crop fields
A field with Magic Barrels can produce and store its harvest without a player present.
Central collection
Several barrels placed along a crop line send their drops to one storage point.
Who it’s for: Players who build automated farms on NeoForge 26.2 and server owners who want crop harvesting to run without manual work.
How it compares
Pressurized Barrels is an open source NeoForge mod released under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.1 – 26.1.2, and it runs with client and server. Assorted Barrels is also open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and targets NeoForge and Fabric for 26.2, with client and server both needed. Magic Wooden Barrel is not open source, so the license and the 26.2-only build range are the main differences.
