Reaping

by Jam Core

Reaping lets players harvest animals with a reaper tool, and the way it works is deliberately grim, from a cursed craft to unpredictable outcomes.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16 – 26.2

What it does

Reaping adds a Reaper item that players craft and use to harvest animals. The method is intentionally cursed: an animal can turn into a child and drop meat instead of what a player expects, and sometimes the animal dies during the reaping process. Reaper variants come in Iron, Gold, Diamond and Netherite tiers, and an upgrade lets the reaper avoid some of these outcomes.

Reaping runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It requires Architectury API, Fabric API and JamLib, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Builds cover 1.16 – 26.2 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 21 release versions in that range. Reaping settings are changed in the in-game configuration screen, which is opened from the mods screen.

Key features

  1. Reaper crafting

    The Reaper is craftable and comes in Iron, Gold, Diamond and Netherite variants.

  2. Cursed harvesting

    Harvested animals may turn into children or die, so the drops vary from one harvest to the next.

  3. Reaper upgrade

    An upgrade lets the reaper avoid some of the unpredictable outcomes of harvesting.

  4. In-game configuration

    Settings are available in the configuration screen reached from the mods screen.

Questions

Does Reaping need Architectury API?

Yes. Architectury API, Fabric API and JamLib are all required dependencies and must be installed alongside Reaping.

Does the server need Reaping?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Can the reaper always avoid killing animals?

No. Animals can die during the reaping process, and the upgrade only avoids some outcomes.
