VillagerFarm
by gasrat
Villagers working as farmers gain a harvest-and-replant routine and stop trampling their own farmland, as VillagerFarm changes villager farming on Fabric.
What it does
Farmer villagers break a mature crop and replant its seedling in the same action. The harvest yields the vanilla loot minus one seed-equivalent, so the output is slightly lower than a player harvest would give. The behavior is limited to villagers with the farmer profession, so other entities still trample farmland as they normally do.
VillagerFarm is a server required mod that players can leave out on their own side. To run the mod, a server needs Fabric Loader 0.19.2 together with Fabric API, both set up for Minecraft 1.21.11. Blockorigin is also required, since it provides the cause tracking that lets stem-grown pumpkin and melon detection work. The WTHIT or Jade overlay is optional and shows a villager tooltip. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code is publicly available.
Key features
Atomic harvest and replant
A farmer breaks a mature crop and sets a seedling back in the same action, so the field keeps producing without a separate planting step.
Anti-trample for farmers
Farmer villagers no longer trample the farmland they work, while other entities keep the normal trampling behavior.
Editable configuration
A feature toggle and a magic number can be changed in a single JSON config with two top-level sections, and ticks per item can be set there too.
Tooltip overlay support
Installing WTHIT or Jade adds a villager tooltip overlay that shows the farmer's state while the player looks at a villager.

How it compares
FarmZ is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that runs on client and server and is open source under the MIT License, so it covers a different version and a different environment. Ez Crops is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11 that runs on client and server, is released under the MIT License, and is not open source, which gives it a wider version span than VillagerFarm. CropCycle is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that is server-side only and released under All rights reserved, so it shares the version and environment but works on crops rather than villager behavior.
