Farmer's Future Delight
Bring newer Minecraft content to your Forge 1.12.2 world.
Farmer's Future Delight backports selected blocks, creatures, materials, and gameplay systems from newer Minecraft versions. Use it as a standalone expansion or as a source of ingredients and materials for Farmer's Delight-style add-ons.
Its content is integrated into survival gameplay through exploration, world generation, farming, crafting, and gathering. It is not a separate cooking overhaul.
Update Aquatic
Explore a more varied ocean, swim beneath the surface, and discover new reasons to venture underwater.
- Cod, salmon, pufferfish, tropical fish, dolphins, drowned, and fish buckets.
- Tridents with Loyalty, Impaling, Riptide, and Channeling.
- Coral and coral fans, kelp, seagrass, sea pickles, blue ice, bubble columns, conduits, nautilus shells, and hearts of the sea.
- Modern ocean biomes, coral reefs, icebergs, shipwrecks, ocean ruins, buried treasure, and treasure maps.
- Modern swimming, biome-dependent water colors, underwater fog, and improved underwater visibility.
- Waterlogging for supported blocks, with configurable support for fluids other than water.
- Stripped logs and wood, along with prismarine stairs and slabs.
Caves & Cliffs World Type
Choose the optional Caves & Cliffs world type when creating a world to explore an Overworld extending from Y=-64 to Y=319.
Discover three-dimensional Lush Caves and Dripstone Caves, modern mountain biomes, deeper underground regions, aquifers, ore veins, amethyst geodes, and updated terrain generation.
The extended height belongs to this world type. Ordinary world types keep the standard 1.12.2 height, while supported aquatic content can also appear in ordinary worlds.
New terrain and naturally generated features require newly generated areas; updating the mod does not rebuild existing terrain.
Villages, Workstations, and Raids
Build and explore villages with modern profession, workstation, trading, and raid behavior.
- Modern village structures, village decorations, bells, beds, and village workstations.
- Villager profession assignment based on workstations.
- Configurable profession-to-workstation mappings for vanilla and modded professions.
- Configurable villager and wandering trader trades, including item counts, weights, metadata, NBT, and trade pools.
- Configurable wandering trader generation, equipment, and disappearance rules.
- Pillagers, ravagers, raid waves, raid bars, raid effects, raid rewards, and pillager outposts.
- Campfires, smokers, blast furnaces, composters, stonecutters, grindstones, cartography tables, looms, and smithing tables.
- JEI pages for smoking, blasting, campfire cooking, stonecutting, smithing, composting, banner patterns, villager trades, and villager professions.
- JSON configuration, Java API, and CraftTweaker support for selected recipes, workstation rules, and raid behavior.
Nether Materials
Use selected materials and building blocks from newer Nether updates.
- Ancient debris, Netherite Scrap, Netherite Ingots, and Netherite Blocks.
- Netherite tools, weapons, armor, and horse armor.
- Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates and Netherite equipment upgrades.
- Blackstone, polished blackstone, polished blackstone bricks, gilded blackstone, slabs, stairs, walls, buttons, and pressure plates.
- Blackstone crafting and stone-tool support.
- Nether vegetation and wood families, including crimson and warped blocks.

- Modern menus, creative inventory layouts, panorama selection, and F3+F4 game-mode switching.
Custom Content for Modpacks
Adapt the mod to the materials and wood types already present in your pack.
- Raw ores: source-aware support for other mods' ores, with material controls, storage blocks, smelting, and supported processing integrations.
- Deepslate ores: variants linked to their ordinary source ores, retaining the relevant drops and supported processing behavior.
- Custom JSON definitions: define additional raw ores, deepslate ores, and stripped-wood families using automatically created example files.
- Generation commands: scan installed content and generate reviewable JSON definitions for raw ores and stripped wood.
- Villager professions: configure profession-to-workstation mappings, including modded professions.
- Villager trades: define villager and wandering trader trades with JSON configuration.
- Workstation rules: modify supported processing rules through configuration, Java API, and CraftTweaker.
- Raid events: extend selected raid behavior through the Java API and script integration.
- JEI integration: expose workstation processing, banner patterns, villager trades, and villager professions in JEI.
Processing integrations include supported content from mods such as IndustrialCraft 2, Mekanism, Thermal Expansion, Ender IO, and Tinkers' Construct. Compatibility depends on the material, recipe, and installed mod.
Review generated definitions before enabling them. Newly registered custom content requires a full restart.
Configuration and Compatibility
Many features offer ENABLED, AUTO, and DISABLED modes.
AUTO lets supported external content providers take precedence where a matching compatibility rule exists. This helps combine the mod with other backports without unnecessarily duplicating content.
Aquatic compatibility modes default to AUTO for new or missing configuration entries. Existing saved settings are preserved.
Configuration covers world generation, compatibility modes, villagers, professions, workstations, trades, wandering traders, raids, game-mode switching, creative inventory layouts, panorama backgrounds, and gameplay behavior.
Compatibility rules also cover selected village generators, modded professions, extended-height worlds, fluid systems, rendering tools, and mapping tools.
Compatibility includes selected integrations with other backport mods, aquatic systems, rendering mods, and mapping tools. AUTO is based on supported mappings, not a universal guarantee that every overlapping mod is interchangeable.
Optional Resource Pack
The optional FFD Additional Resource Pack provides:
- Updated vanilla textures from newer Minecraft versions.
- High-version item, block, entity, and spawn-egg textures.
- Panorama backgrounds and background music.
- Modern sound resources and additional assets used by Farmer's Future Delight.
The resource pack is versioned and maintained independently from the mod.

Thanks to sui_ke and Raw Ore On 1.12.2 for the original textures used as the basis for the raw ores and their storage blocks.
In short: Farmer's Future Delight brings ingredients, raw materials, and worlds from the future back to 1.12.2, while other Farmer's Delight add-ons put them on the table.
