Description
Better Farmland (Formerly ReclaimedPoop)
Tired of losing fertilizer every time you break farmland? Tired of coming back from exploring to a farm full of dry mud?
Better Farmland keeps farming fun by adding must-have QoL tweaks to the vanilla farmland mechanics. Everything is toggleable through JSON or user a friendly in-game menu using /rcp ui (OP or admin override permission required).
By default, the mod:
- Reclaims 2x poop from fertilized farmland breaks
- Keeps normal farmland from decaying to dry mud (
forever) - Keeps auto-replant ON with crouch check ON
All Features
- In-game config UI with category pages, warnings, and advanced tools.
- Reclaim resources (poop or fertilizer) when breaking fertilized tilled soil in Adventure mode.
- Configure drop chance (
1-100) and poop quantity (1or2). - Choose reclaim mode with
dropPoopOrFertilizerTool(pooporfertilizer). - Override farmland decay with custom real-time durations (
s,m,h,d,forever). - Override watered decay timer for watering-can hydration.
- Optional
water spreadfeature that allows farmland to remain watered forever when within a configured range of a water source block. - Optional tick-based water spread mode (slower, step-based hydration vs faster instant checks).
Auto-replantsupport for mature crop harvest paths (including interaction/sickle paths). Seeds need to be in player inventory to auto replant.- Crouch check toggle for auto-replant behavior.
- Optional built-in performance profiler for diagnostics.
