Sturdy Farmland - Growth Edition

Six new fertilizers can be placed on farmland and applied to crops. Weak, Strong and Hyper Fertilizer speed up a new crop by one, two or three growth stages on its first day. Hydrating and Deluxe Hydrating Fertilizer keep the soil moist through a dry morning until the crop is halfway grown, rounded down, while Bountiful Fertilizer is a separate option in the same set.

Crops on a farmland block that is near a sprinkler, or that sits on the tagged blank farmland, grow one stage each morning when watered. Random ticks can be disabled for crops that carry the dew drop farmland tag, so growth follows the new system instead. The mod is built as a blank canvas: modpack makers can add their own mechanics through configuration and tags, including the Quality Food tags that supply the Low Quality, High Quality and theoretical stronger fertilizers.

The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. It requires the dependencies listed on its page and was tested with the versions given there. Behavior for other crops depends on added support lists and the season system of a companion mod, which the author notes as additional support.
