Seed Protection

Seed Protect is a simple utility mod that stops farmland from being trampled. No more accidentally destroying your crops when you jump, and no more uprooted fields from wandering mobs. Install it and your crops stay safe — automatically.

📦 Installation

1. Install the mod loader of your choice (Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge).
2. Place the seedprotect-<version>.jar file into your .minecraft/mods folder.
3. Launch Minecraft and enjoy — no configuration needed.

Works on: single-player worlds, LAN worlds, and dedicated servers.

🎥 How It Works

The moment you step onto your farmland or a mob wanders across it, the game tries to turn the farmland into dirt — destroying your planted crops. Seed Protect cancels that change before it happens. Your farmland stays as farmland, your crops stay planted, and you never have to replant after a clumsy jump or a zombie stroll.

✨ Features

• No more accidental trampling — Players can jump, sprint, or walk on farmland without turning it to dirt.
• Mob-proof fields — Cows, zombies, villagers, and any other mobs cannot uproot your crops.
• Fall damage preserved — Jumping on farmland still hurts the player (as in vanilla), but the farmland stays intact.
• Zero configuration — Install the mod and it runs immediately; no commands, no items, no menus.
• Server-side logic — Works on dedicated servers without requiring clients to install the mod (though clients are also supported).
• Multi-loader support — Available for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge across multiple Minecraft versions.

🧩 Compatibility

Required dependencies: None.
Known incompatibilities: None known.
Works alongside: All performance mods (Sodium, Lithium, etc.), shader loaders (Iris, Oculus), and content mods.

❓ FAQ

Does this need to be installed on the server?
Yes. The mod is required on both the client and the server for full functionality. On dedicated servers, the server must have the mod installed to prevent mob trampling. If you're playing single-player or LAN, install it on the client side.

Does this change vanilla mechanics?
It suppresses farmland trampling, but does not alter anything else. Fall damage, crop growth, and all other mechanics remain unchanged.

Is it compatible with OptiFine?
Yes, Seed Protect has no rendering changes and works fine alongside OptiFine.

Does this mod work with modded crops?
Yes. Seed Protect prevents farmland from turning into dirt regardless of what crop is planted on it — it works with any mod that uses vanilla farmland mechanics.
