Obese Crops
by macuguita
Obese Crops lets crops grow into larger versions that occasionally replace a fully grown plant in the field.
What it does
Bigger versions of the original crops can appear in place of a normal fully grown plant, with a small chance per growth. Watering the crop and having light nearby both raise the odds of an obese crop forming, so farms that are well kept yield more often. The larger plants give a bountiful harvest compared with the standard crops they grow from.
Scythes count as weapons in the mod, so a single swing can gather crops and clear grass in a field. Fabric API and macu lib are required on every loader, and McQoy, Mod Menu and QoMC are optional extras. Obese Crops is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.20 – 1.21.1, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.

How it compares
Farm 3x3 is a server-required mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.18 – 26.3, open source under the MIT License, with clients optional. Harvest is client-side only on Fabric for 1.19 – 1.21.5 and open source under the LGPL v3.0 only, so it does not change the server. Xp from Crops is server-side only for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 and is not open source.
