SmartSeeds
by Flix7
Under SmartSeeds, plants grow at speeds set by the temperature of the biome they are planted in, using an ideal temperature range for each crop.
What it does
SmartSeeds changes how fast crop plants grow. Each plant gets an ideal temperature with a minimum and a maximum. Inside the ideal range the plant grows faster than in vanilla, measured by a Vanilla Ideal Multiplication Factor (VIMF). At the minimum and maximum temperatures the growing speed drops to zero, so growth stops once the condition is no longer met.
The growing speed comes from a general formula that compares the biome temperature with the plant's own preferences. The vanilla Multiplication Factor (VMF) is kept as the base, so plants still grow in their usual way when conditions are neutral. Several new attributes are added to plant blocks, and an attribute used for biome distribution controls where each plant tends to appear, so players can see which temperatures suit which crops.
SmartSeeds is a server required mod for Fabric, with the client optional. It depends on Fabric API, the MIT License covers the code, and the mod is not open source. Files exist for 1.20.2 only, with beta-1.2-1 as the latest file, published on 2025-07-02.
Key features
Temperature-based growth
Plants grow at different speeds depending on the temperature of the biome they grow in.
Ideal temperature range
Each plant has an ideal temperature with a minimum and a maximum, and growth speed falls to zero outside that range.
Temperature preferences shown
The temperature preferences of each plant are displayed, so players can match crops to a biome.
Biome distribution attribute
A new attribute controls how each plant is distributed across biomes.

What the author says
This mod is changing the growing speed of some plants depending on the temperature of the biome the plant is growing in. Each plant has an ideal temperature, a min and a max temperature. At the ideal temperature, the plant grows VIMF time faster than in vanilla. (VIMF stands for Vanilla Ideal Multiplication Factor)…
