Snad Alehouse
by choco422
Snad Alehouse is a Fabric mod for Snad, a specialized block that speeds up crops planted on it, and it accelerates growth in sugar cane, cactus and bamboo.
What it does
Plants placed on a Snad block grow faster than they would on ordinary soil. Sugar cane, cactus and bamboo are handled directly, and modded plants that use standard age properties are detected and accelerated as well. Snad is crafted by placing two sand blocks in any arrangement of the crafting grid, which makes it cheap to set up a growing area.
Growth acceleration applies only when the instant growth chance is met, and the chance can be adjusted in percentage steps of 1% through a settings menu that Mod Menu opens. Server owners therefore decide how fast crops grow on their world. The block logic avoids particle spam and unnecessary block updates, so farms do not flood the server with redundant work.
BreweryLib is required, so it must be installed next to Snad Alehouse. The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.8 – 1.21.10, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest file, and it is released under the MIT License. It is not open source.
Key features
Snad growth block
Snad speeds up growth for crops planted directly on it, without changing the plants themselves.

Modded plant support
Plants from other mods that use standard age properties are detected and accelerated as well.
Adjustable growth chance
A settings menu through Mod Menu sets the instant growth chance in 1% steps.
Optimized block logic

Use cases
Who it’s for: Survival players who run farms of sugar cane, cactus or bamboo, and server owners who want a configurable growth rate. Players who only use vanilla farming methods gain nothing from the mod.
How it compares
Dispenser Farm is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.5, so players can join without installing it. Grow Forever is also server-side only and open source, released under the BSD 2-Clause License, and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.2. Snad Alehouse needs both the server and every player to run it, and its MIT License covers the code, but the mod itself is not open source.
