Farm Tools 🔗

Based on the Scythes & Sickles mod by TestificateMods, this mod adds various tools to make farming more convenient.

Scythes allow you to quickly sweep through your fields. They can only break fully grown crops and harvest multiple plants at once. They also replant harvested crops automatically. Alternatively, they can be used as an effective weapon with higher range. Sickles allow you to scrape grass and moss from overgrown nodes. The resulting moss can then be used as dye or fertilizer. They also let you to cut wheat and other grains more precisely, allowing you to harvest some crops without completely resetting them. Finally, rakes allow you to turn dirt into soil in a 3x3 area, so that you can create bigger farms more quickly.

About this mod 🔗

Why a fork? 🔗

When I created this fork, the source code repository of the original mod didn't have any activity since almost a year, and there were some issues in the mod since multiple years. After sending my patches to the maintainer of the original mod, I decided to go ahead and make my own fork.

How does it differ from the original mod? 🔗

It may differ more and more in the future. Currently, I have fixed two long-lasting bugs:

• The scythes and sickles now work on all plants from the farming_redo mod. In the original mod, they didn't work when the node ID of the plant was different from the item name (for instance, raspberries have the following node ID: farming:raspberry, whereas the item in the inventory has farming:raspberries).
• Plants from the farming_redo that don't drop their seeds when harvested can now be replanted if seeds can be crafted from their fruit. This is the case for farming:sunflower, farming:garlic and farming:pepper.

In addition:

• I also added a diamond version of the tools, and plan to support other materials in the future.
• I added rakes, that allow to turn dirt into soil in a 3x3 area.

Roadmap 🔗

• [x] Add support for x_farming mod
• [x] Add rakes with other materials (i.e. gold, diamond, etc.)
• [x] Add mithril tools
• [ ] Improve translations
