Crop Guard

Client-side Fabric mod that stops you from breaking crops before they are grown. Made for mcMMO Herbalism, where auto-replant eats a seed on every harvest, but just as useful on vanilla farms.

What it does

Out of the box it blocks harvesting immature crops, protects the block a plant regrows from, and keeps suspicious sand and gravel safe: they can't be broken, and the block holding them up can't be mined out from under them, so the only way in is the brush. Everything else is off by default and lives in Mod Menu:

• Growth point protection: the bottom block of sugar cane, bamboo, kelp and cactus and the top block of glow berry vines and pale hanging moss can't be broken, so the plant keeps producing. One toggle per plant
• Melon and pumpkin stems, sweet berry bushes and budding amethyst can't be broken, only harvested
• Harvest stats HUD with live per-minute rates
• Stop harvesting when you are out of seeds, so auto-replant never leaves a hole
• Require a hoe, so the Herbalism ability actually triggers
• Particles when a harvest is blocked
• Camera snap for straight farming rows
• Per-crop protection toggles for wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, nether wart, cocoa, torchflower and pitcher plant
