🧑‍🌾 FarmBoys - Autonomous Farm Helpers

A cute, vanilla-friendly trio of slightly clumsy robotic companions that take full care of your crops!

✨ Overview

Tired of endlessly replanting wheat and hauling potatoes back and forth? Say hello to FarmBoys! This mod introduces three endearing, autonomous mechanical helpers designed to handle the daily farm grind together as a team. Each boy has a clear job, and together they create a seamless cycle: HarvesterBoy reaps the ripe crops, ChestBoy vacuums everything up, plants new seeds, and delivers the excess into your chests, while CanBoy waters the soil and accelerates crop growth.

🤖 Meet the Boys

🚿 1. CanBoy (The Watering Can)

• Hydration: Waddles across your tilled fields, tilts forward, and sprays dry farmland with water so it stays permanently hydrated (no ugly water holes needed in the middle of your crops!).
• Growth Boost: Occasionally treats growing crops to a refreshing shower that accelerates their growth.
• Clumsy Trait: Every now and then, he accidentally slips on his own fresh water puddle, spins comically in a circle, and shakes himself off before getting back to work.

🌾 2. HarvesterBoy (The Crop Reaper)

• Harvesting: Patrols your farm, detects fully grown wheat, carrots, potatoes, and beetroot, and cleanly snips them down with his spinning blades. Drops the harvest on the ground for ChestBoy.
• Clumsy Trait: Occasionally snips with so much enthusiasm that he gets hit by mechanical recoil, hopping backward with a tiny puff of smoke before shaking his head.

📦 3. ChestBoy (The Planter & Courier)

• Vacuum: Automatically vacuums up crops, seeds, and dropped items in a 24-block radius around him.
• Planter: Sows any seeds he holds (Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroot, Melons, Pumpkins, Pitcher Pods, Torchflowers) into empty tilled farmland.
• Courier: Finds the nearest chest or barrel, pops open his lid, and deposits the harvest inside while carefully holding on to a seed reserve for replanting.
• Clumsy Trait: When dashing around with a full chest, he might trip over a pebble, making his lid pop open with a clang and dropping an item that he panics to pick back up!
