Unique Crops
by bafomdad
Unique Crops replaces the usual crop model with crops that have their own growth stages, requirements and drops, adding 33 new crops and related items to a Forge world.
What it does
Each of the 33 new crops has its own growth path, planting rules and harvest results, so growing one is not the same as wheat or carrots. Items and gear that work with the crops are included, and a crop's details are covered in the in-game guide book, although some behavior is left for players to discover.
The mod is built for Forge 1.16.5 only, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files were published on 2022-05-21 in the beta channel, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
