Zehunz's Crops
by zehunz
Zehunz's Crops is a Fabric and NeoForge food mod that adds new crops, so ores and other materials can be obtained by farming instead of mining.
What it does
Zehunz's Crops adds a set of new crops to the game. Once grown, the crops yield materials such as coal, iron and other ores, which gives players a steady supply of resources without long mining trips. Growing takes time and certain conditions, and upgrades make the crops produce more, so progress comes from tending a farm rather than from endless digging.
The mod also adds a custom mob and a few adventure elements, with an emphasis on a less grindy route through the resource stage. It suits builders who dislike mining, survivalists who want a more efficient way to collect essential materials, and peaceful players who prefer a different path through the game.
Zehunz's Crops is released for Minecraft 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it, and it is covered by the MIT License, though it is not open source.
