Zero-Tick Crops
by tildejustin
Zero-Tick Crops reverts two Minecraft changes so that sand falling on boats and some crops can again feed zero-tick farms, as they did before 1.16.
What it does
The mod restores behavior removed by the fixes for MC-165034 and MC-113809, bringing back farms that rely on zero-tick timing for crops and sand falling on boats. The implementation is based on earlier work on a sand-on-boats farm, and the author notes that this sand behavior works only on the latest releases covered by the files. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything.
Key features
Zero-tick crop growth
Crops grow in the zero-tick way used by farms from before the 1.16 changes.
Sand on boats
Sand falling onto boats works again, which restores the farm design shared with earlier emulators.
Sand and crop timing fixes
The reverts target two specific game issues, so the rest of the game timing is left as it was.

What the author says
A mod that reverts the fix for MC-113809 in 20w12a+ which brings back the infamous 0-tick farms of pre-1.16. Also reverts MC-165034 via the implementation from KingContaria's excellent 1.14.4 Emulator so the sand-on-boats farm works. I think it works up to the latest minecraft version (1.20.2 at the time of writing)…
