Snad
by TheRoBrit
Snad is a Forge and NeoForge block that can be crafted from two sand blocks, and it speeds up plant growth when planted next to crops.
What it does
Snad is a block that is crafted by placing two sand together in the crafting grid. It is a plantable crop, and crops set beside it grow faster than they would on ordinary sand. Sugarcane and cacti are listed among the plants it boosts.
The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.12.1 – 1.21.5 across 15 release versions, and the latest builds are 20.1.0 for 1.20.1 and 21.4.1 for 1.21.5. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features

This mod adds a block known as "Snad" which unlike it's counterpart "Sand" WILL increase the growth rate for sugarcane, cacti and any other plantable crop. To craft a block of Snad you merely need to put two sand together in your inventory (or any form of crafting) and suddenly you'll have an amazingly awesome block…
