Water Your Crops!
by Cody_Spirits
Water Your Crops! makes unattended crops wither, so farmland that is never watered or tended slowly loses growth progress and can decay away.
What it does
Crops only grow at their normal pace when they sit on moist farmland, and a quick check shows whether the soil is moist. Crops left alone for too long begin to regress in growth and eventually disappear. The mod works on Forge for 1.20.1, and it was inspired by efforts such as the Dew Drop project. Both client and server need it, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Neglected crops regress
Crops that go unattended lose growth progress over time instead of holding their stage indefinitely.
Moisture-dependent growth
Growth depends on the farmland staying moist, so a dry field stops advancing until it is watered again.
Non-invasive particles
Small particles show at a glance which crops are growing and which are regressing, without cluttering the view.

What the author says
Inspired by the efforts of the devs of the Dew Drop project! When crops grow, they now perform a small check to see if they are on moist farmland - if the farmland is not moist, the crops begin to slowly regress in growth! If you leave them alone for too long, they might decay away entirely!
