Harvest Tweaks & Scythes
by Erick00
Harvest Tweaks & Scythes adds a set of craftable scythes to Minecraft as an alternative farming tool, with the reach of each one tied to its tier.
What it does
Five scythes are craftable from vanilla materials, each balanced to match the matching tool tier: Wooden, Stone, Iron, Golden and Diamond, plus a Netherite Scythe. A scythe harvests every grown crop inside its area in a single action, and the area grows with the tier: 2×2 for the Wooden Scythe, 3×3 for the Stone, Iron and Golden Scythes, and 5×5 for the Diamond and Netherite Scythes. The scythes fit into the normal progression of the game, so players reach them as they advance through the tiers.
Scythe Orchard, a calm biome where peach and orange trees grow in large numbers, is also part of the mod. It runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest file, 1.10Beta2, targeting 1.20.1 and published on 2026-07-21. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
