Water Me!
by whosalbercik
Water Me! makes farmland and crops depend on water: players must water plants by hand, and a source placed nearby only helps for a while.
What it does
Crops and farmland lose moisture over time, so the player has to return with a water bucket to keep plants alive. Each use of a water bucket adds one unit of moisture, and a bucket with sixteen uses empties once they are gone, leaving an empty bucket in the inventory. Water placed nearby keeps plants hydrated for a shorter span than a player watering by hand would.
The moisture decrease rate is set in the config, and the default makes it slower than the base rate. A plant that dies loses one point of maximum moisture, which takes around an hour of play to pass. A panel in the top right corner shows information about the crop or farmland being looked at, and it can be hidden with a key press. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and it is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4 with the 1.0.0.2 build from 2025-02-20, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
