Shulker's Faithful Factories
by britishnickk
Shulker's Faithful Factories adds redstone-powered farms built from vanilla mechanics, so resources such as cocoa, cobwebs and saplings can be gathered automatically.
What it does
Several structures let players farm resources that normally need manual collection. Endermen may destroy cocoa plants that were set down in suitable positions, spiders weave webs beside logs and spawners when light falls within certain levels, and applying bone meal to grass gives a small chance of dropping oak saplings. Saplings planted in a desert convert into dead bushes, which can be harvested as a renewable wood source.
The mod is configured through a config file, where the spawn rates and specific farming mechanics can be toggled. Its loot tables are data-driven, so a modpack author can adjust the balance without changing code. A map of End cities is included as an End Explorer Map, which marks where the Shulker factories are found in End City chests.
Files target Forge for 1.15.2 – 1.16.5, with 1.6.1 for 1.16.5 as the latest build, released on 2026-03-15. The mod runs on client and server, and its source code is open under the MIT License. The author recommends backing up worlds before installing or removing structure mods on 1.16.3, because of vanilla bug MC-194811.
