Grubbs' Farming Tools

Grubbs’ Farming Tools adds new farming tools that make planting, harvesting, and watering crops easier without changing how survival gameplay works.

Grubbs’ Farming Tools

Grubbs’ Farming Tools adds a small set of new farming tools that make working with crops faster and less annoying, while still feeling like vanilla Minecraft.

This mod is made for survival players who like farming but don’t like doing the same click over and over again.


What’s in the mod?

Scythes

Scythes let you harvest crops in an area instead of one block at a time.

  • Right-click to harvest crops in a square around the block you click
  • Fully grown crops drop their items and are replanted automatically
  • Grass, flowers, and other small junk plants get cleared
  • Different materials have different ranges and durability
  • Enchantments like Sweep and Reaping improve range and durability use

Trowels

Trowels are for preparing soil and planting without juggling items.

  • Converts coarse dirt and rooted dirt back into dirt
  • Turns dirt or grass into farmland (if there’s room above)
  • Automatically plants seeds from your offhand, selected slot, or hotbar
  • Sneak with the Scatterplant enchantment to plant random crops from your inventory
  • Planting is free and doesn’t waste durability

Watering Cans

Watering cans help crops grow without spamming bone meal.

  • Fill them from water just like a bucket
  • Right-click to encourage crop growth in an area
  • Uses stored water instead of items
  • Slowly refills while it’s raining
  • Higher tiers cover more area and hold more water
  • Netherite watering cans don’t break

Enchantments

The mod adds a few simple enchantments made specifically for these tools:

  • Reaping – reduces durability loss on scythes
  • Sweep – increases scythe harvest area
  • Scatterplant – lets trowels plant random crops while sneaking

All enchantments are available through normal enchanting and villagers.


Configuration

Scythe behavior can be adjusted using a simple JSON config file.

  • Change harvest radius
  • Adjust cooldowns
  • Tweak durability costs
  • Missing or broken configs safely fall back to defaults

Balance and multiplayer

This mod is designed to:

  • Feel like it belongs in vanilla
  • Work in survival without being overpowered
  • Run safely on servers
  • Avoid automation or “set and forget” mechanics

It doesn’t add machines, pipes, or complicated systems — just better tools.
