Wretched Crops

by sortaLyra

Wretched Crops restricts where crops can grow and slows their overall growth, so farms depend on the biome they are planted in.

What it does

Each crop is paired with the biome tags where it is allowed to grow, and the check runs before any growth step. Outside those biomes a crop stays put, and bone meal does not work there either. Growth in general is slowed, so a planted field takes longer to mature than in vanilla.

Wretched Crops is built for a modpack that uses Farmer's Delight and Oh The Biomes We've Gone, and it also requires Create: Bitterballen. The Create: Bitterballen, Farmer's Delight and Oh The Biomes We've Gone dependencies are all needed, and Wretched Continents is the pack this mod was made for. Files are published for NeoForge and 1.21.1 only, with 0.0.1 as the first beta release from 2026-08-27. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Key features

  1. Biome-restricted growth

    Each crop can be limited to a set of biomes, so planting a crop outside its biomes produces no harvest.

  2. Bone meal blocked by biome

    Bone meal has no effect on crops planted outside their allowed biomes, keeping the restriction intact.

  3. Slower overall growth

    Crops mature more slowly than in vanilla, which stretches out the time between harvests.

  4. Growth location display

    A UI element shows where each crop can grow, so players can plan planting locations.
