Maize mod
by Nicusha
Maize mod adds a corn farming setup to the game, with custom crops, a corn flour step and baked goods, and it runs on NeoForge for 26.1.2 – 26.3.
What it does
Breaking short grass in the wild can yield Corn Seeds, so players who explore the landscape can start a corn plot without first farming other crops. Harvested corn can be crafted into Corn Flour through a quick shapeless recipe, and the flour smelts into Corn Bread, a food that restores hunger. Corn can also be crafted back into seeds, which lets a farm grow without relying on the wild supply.
The mod is a lightweight integration: it introduces its own crops and the processing steps that follow from them, and it does not change how other crops behave. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed to see and use its content together. Files cover 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.0.1 for 26.3 as the latest file. The code is All rights reserved and is not open source, though public links to the source and the issue tracker exist.
Key features
Wild corn seeds
Breaking wild short grass gives a chance to find Corn Seeds, so corn can be found while exploring.
Corn flour recipe
Harvested corn becomes Corn Flour through a shapeless crafting recipe that needs no fixed layout.
Corn bread
Smelting corn flour produces Corn Bread, a baked food that restores hunger and fills a hotbar slot.
Seed crafting
Harvested corn can be crafted back into seeds, so a farm can be expanded whenever more land is planted.
