Stronger Farmland
by Lothrazar
Stronger Farmland stops players, horses, dogs and Iron Golems from trampling crops on farmland, and keeps dry farmland from reverting to dirt.
What it does
Farmland normally reverts to dirt once a player or mob steps onto it. The mod blocks that reversion for players, horses, dogs and Iron Golems, and it also covers wet farmland. Dry farmland still draws moisture only from nearby water, so hydration works as before while foot traffic stops costing crops.
Stronger Farmland runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It needs FLIB on Forge and NeoForge, and builds are published for 1.12.2 and 1.16.2 – 1.21.1 as well as 26.1.2, with the latest files dated 2026-08-06 for Forge and 2026-09-06 for NeoForge. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Trampling prevention
Players, horses, dogs and Iron Golems no longer turn farmland back into dirt by walking on it.
Wet farmland protection
Wet farmland is covered by the same rule, so moisturized crops stay planted after a mob or player passes.
Less tedious farming
Crops stay in place between harvests, which makes farming a bit more convenient without changing the growth process.
