Zen's Agricultural Automations

The mod is distributed as a data pack and automates farming of trees, flowers, shrubs, cactus and bamboo. Its setups use hoppers, item frames and a pot placed on top, and a tool such as a diamond axe, hoe or sword is used in the item frame to process the harvest. Each cycle takes about 30 seconds and returns one drop per crop, with custom loot tables that can be hooked into other datapacks.

The data pack loads from the saves/[world]/datapacks folder, so it works in a single-player world or on a server without a separate loader. It is a rework of the Original Data Pack by Chewbarcus, and its design follows the Bonsai Tree Mod datapack, aiming to keep the automation in the vanilla style. Automation stops when a hopper receives redstone power, so a redstone circuit can switch it off.
