Netherwart Guardian

by Devy4304

Netherwart Guardian stops players from breaking immature netherwart by accident, and it only works on the client side.

FabricClient-side onlyCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source26.1.1 – 26.2

What it does

The mod protects netherwart that has not yet grown, so a player who breaks it by mistake leaves the crop in place. Other crops are covered too, but only until they are fully grown. Crouching lets a player break a protected plant anyway, and the protection can also be turned off in the settings. The mod has no effect in creative mode, and its configuration screen is shown only in survival.

Key features

  1. Immature netherwart protection

    Netherwart that is not fully grown cannot be broken by a normal click, which prevents losing a crop before harvest.

  2. Crouch to override

    Sneaking while breaking a protected plant removes the protection for that action.

  3. Creative mode unaffected

    Creative players can break any plant freely, and the protection applies only in survival.

What the author says

A simple mod to prevent netherwart (and now a variety of other crops) from being broken unless they're fully grown. If you want to break it anyways, crouching will disable the feature. This will not affect creative mode (unless you want it to, see the configuration screen), only survival. It should be usable on most…
