Sprinkler
by NillFall
Sprinkler is a NeoForge block for 1.21.1 that irrigates nearby farmland once it has water in it, and speeds up the crops growing on that land.
What it does
A sprinkler block is filled from a water bucket by right-clicking it, and it holds up to four buckets. A player can extract water from it again with an empty bucket. While the block contains water, its nozzle keeps turning, and it stops and stays still once the water is gone. Farmland within a four-block radius is moisturized automatically, and crops on that land grow faster for a period of 60 seconds after the water reaches them.
The block also accepts pipes through the NeoForge FluidHandler API, so an automated farm can feed it from a fluid network instead of manual filling. The mod is listed as compatible with Waterlogged. Sprinkler is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Automatic farmland irrigation
Farmland within a four-block radius of a filled sprinkler is moisturized without any further action.
Crop growth boost
Crops on the irrigated land grow faster for 60 seconds, which keeps the boost running while water remains in the block.
Bucket filling and extraction
A sprinkler takes up to four water buckets and gives water back to an empty bucket, so it can be stocked by hand.
Fluid pipe connection
The block can be connected to a fluid pipe through the NeoForge FluidHandler API, letting an automated farm supply it.
