Mama's Herbs and Harvest
by MamaMichelle
Mama's Herbs and Harvest is a NeoForge food mod that adds light farming, with 32 growable crops, 8 fruit-bearing trees and 14 herbs.
What it does
Seeds for the crops are found in chests across the overworld, in places such as villages, dungeons and shipwrecks. The fruit-bearing trees grow naturally in their biomes, and their rounded, slightly darker leaves look close to dark oak. Vanilla fruits and vegetables work with the mod, except melons and pumpkins.
The mod is a base for Mama's Minis add-ons such as Mama's MerryMaking and Happy. Pantry Update, released in early February 2026, adds new blocks, items and food. Mama's MerryMaking is an optional dependency, and it also requires this mod. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds exist for NeoForge only, across 13 release versions 1.21.1 – 26.1.1, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Growable crops and trees
Thirty-two crops, eight fruit-bearing trees and fourteen herbs can be grown from seeds found in the world.
Produce basket
A basket crafted from bamboo stores up to eight fruit, vegetable or grain items of a single type, and it can also serve as decoration.
Basket recipes
Basket recipes show up in the crafting book automatically once bamboo is in the player's inventory.
Emptying baskets
Right-clicking a placed basket with an empty hand removes the produce it holds.
