• 10-10: inherit the 10 from both parents: 25% chance

• 10-1: inherit a 10 from the first and 1 from the second, or vice versa: 50% chance

• 1-1: inherit the 1 from both parents: 25% chance

Now when this happens, sometimes a mutation can trigger, this means a random change in one of the genes, for instance an existing plant species might mutate into a new one, or a stat might go up or down randomly. Mutations are key to improving your crops and unlocking new ones.

Stats:

AgriCraft contains 6 stats by default:

• Growth: affects the growth rate of plants, meaning higher growth stat leads to plants reaching maturity quicker;
• Gain: affects the number of fruits that the plant will produce;
• Strength: affects where the plant can grow (see Growth Requirements);
• Resistance: affects how resistant the plant is to weeds (see: Weeds);
• Fertility: affects how likely a plant is to participate in cross-breeding to produce offspring;
• Mutativity: increases the likelihood of a positive mutation when cross-breeding;

 Weeds:

Ugh, weeds, noone likes weeds.

Well they are back, but not as  you know them, instead of randomly killing plants, they will now sprout on existing plants and grow in parallel, competing for precious resources and thus delaying the growth of your crops.

It is recommended not to let them mature, as when weeds reach maturity, they tend to constrict and eventually kill their host plant as well as spread to neighbouring crops.

 Growth Requirements:

Plants will now have very specific requirements related to the soil, season, fluids and light. Each soil has certain properties such as humidity, acidity and nutrients, and some crops like very humid soils, while others prefer soils which have very little nutrients. Furthermore, if you have a mod installed that adds seasons, AgriCraft crops will recognize these, and grow only during their favourite seasons.

It is also rumoured that some crops must be cultivated under water to grow.

 Irrigation Systems

AgriCraft adds Irrigation Systems to water and speed up the growth of your crops, check out some of the screenshots below:

Dedicated documentation for Mod and Modpack developers will be coming to the wiki soon.

Optifine :

I can not natively support Optifine as it is very invasive, closed source and a pain to set up in dev.

However, spare your lamentations as a third party patch exists: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/agricraft-optifine-compat

Json Configurability:

• Documentation for the jsons can be found on the wiki: https://agridocs.readthedocs.io/en/master/
• PackDevUtils (by WACriminal), a VScode extension, also features json schema validation for the AgriCraft jsons and can be found here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=PackDevUtils.packdevutils
