Will's Farming Tweaks
by WillPoulson
Will's Farming Tweaks changes how hoes harvest crops, how bonemeal spreads growth and whether farmland gets trampled, for players who maintain large fields.
What it does
Harvesting with a hoe clears a patch of crops in an area around the hoe, and the radius grows with the hoe used, from wooden up to netherite. Each harvested crop costs one point of hoe durability and is replanted automatically. A harvest cooldown can be set in the config, and modded hoes can be given their own radius by item ID.
Bonemeal always works on the targeted crop as in vanilla. An optional setting extends it to nearby crops within a configurable radius, with a growth chance that drops with distance from the center. Farmland trampling can be switched off, which keeps fields intact where mobs and players move through busy areas. The config file is generated on first launch.
The mod is published for Fabric only, with 9 release versions 1.21.1 – 26.1 and the latest file 1.0.8 for 26.1, dated 2026-03-30. Both the server and every player need it, since the harvesting and growth logic runs on each side. It is open source under the MIT License, first published on 2024-10-16.
Key features
Area harvesting
A hoe clears every mature crop in a radius around the player, and the radius scales with the hoe's tier.
Automatic replanting
Harvested crops are replanted in place, and each harvest uses one point of hoe durability.
Extended bonemeal
Bonemeal can reach crops near the target, with a growth chance that falls off with distance from the center.
Farmland trampling toggle
Trampling of farmland can be enabled or disabled, so fields survive heavy foot traffic.
Configurable harvest
A cooldown and a per-item radius for each hoe, including modded hoes, are set in the generated config.
