Pesticides
by Geming400
Pesticides lets players spray crops and farmland with six kinds of pesticide, which can slow growth, poison players or spoil food.
What it does
Pesticides adds Pesticide Containers, Faucets and six pesticide types that players apply to their fields. Faucets are the main block: a faucet dispenses a pesticide onto the crops it faces and comes in four variants, each with its own infection chance for the farmland beneath a crop. An optional filter can reduce that chance.
Farmland has a small chance to become infected, and an infected crop slowly turns green over about 30 minutes, stopping its growth. Food can be contaminated in two ways, and a Pesticide Container combined in the crafting grid taints certain food with no visible change. Modded food works with these effects too. The pesticides also grow crops faster, up to 645% faster, and their effects differ from one type to another.
The server and every player need the mod installed. Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional and can show its recipes. Pesticides is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and has files for 1.21.11 only, with 1.0.5 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. A public source code repository, issue tracker and wiki are linked from its page.

Infection on crops and food

How it compares
CropCycle is server-side only, with files for 1.21.11, and it is not open source under All rights reserved. FarmZ is client and server under the MIT License, open source, with files for 1.21.1. Crop Harvester Server is server-side only, open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, so it covers older builds that Pesticides does not.
