🌾 Unharvest
"Farming is about creation. Unharvest is about total, satisfying ruin."
A reverse-farming indie-inspired simulation mod for Minecraft 26.3 supporting Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge.
Inspired by the indie title Unharvest, this mod flips traditional Minecraft agriculture on its head. Instead of planting and tending crops, your sole mission is to bring complete, cascading blight upon an enormous golden wheat arena. Wield the Withering Scythe, trigger chain-reaction contagion spore waves, hurl locust swarm projectiles, and climb a deep graph-style talent tree to wither ~20,000 wheat stalks into an ocean of dark wither roses!
🌟 Key Features
🌾 Massive Custom Plague Arena
- One-Click World Generation: Select the
Unharvest (Wheat Field)world type when creating a new singleplayer world. - 20,000-Crop Circular Arena: A colossal, organic wheat field (~156 blocks across) generated progressively across ticks with zero worldgen lag or client freezing.
- Dense Giant Forest Perimeter: Enclosed by ~144 procedural, towering ancient oak and spruce trees that form a natural stadium boundary.
- Peaceful & Focused: Ambient, lock-in gameplay with automatic inventory hygiene — only you and your Scythe.
🗡️ The Withering Scythe
- Instant Necrotic Ruin: Left-clicking any crop instantly withers it into a Wither Rose, corrupts the farmland beneath into Soul Soil & Coarse Dirt, and earns Blight Essence.
- Soul Streams & Audio: Souls and necrotic embers visually stream from harvested crops straight into the player with authentic harvest sound effects.
- Dynamic Swings: Custom swing animations and scalable swing cooldowns that reduce down to 1 tick per swing!
🕸️ Graph-Style Plague Skill Tree ([U])
Press [U] or Shift+Right-Click at any time to open an interactive graph talent tree with branching paths:
| Branch | Color | Focus & Abilities |
|---|---|---|
| Scythe Mastery | 🟡 Gold | Swing cooldown reduction, AoE sweep expansion (up to 9×9 per swing), and Essence multipliers (up to 10×), culminating in the Grim Reaper Apex. |
| Fungal Spores | 🔴 Crimson | Unlocks Contagion: withering crops causes delayed spreading spore waves to infect neighboring crops (up to 85% cascade chance and multi-block shockwaves). Apex detonates secondary spore bursts! |
| Locust Swarm | 🟢 Moss | Unlocks the Throwable Locust Swarm ([R]), reducing cooldowns, increasing devour speeds, and ballooning the radius up to a massive 24-block zone. |
🦗 Throwable Locust Swarms ([R])
- Physical Projectile: Press
[R]to lob a pestilence snowball leaving a swirling trail of squid ink, dark smoke, and toxic green particles. - Impact Eruption: On landing, the swarm erupts with an audible buzzing burst and begins devouring crops from the center outward in an expanding circular shockwave.
- Guaranteed Full-Area Coverage: Uses an adaptive devour algorithm and expanding concentric rings to ensure 100% of all wheat stalks within the landing radius are devoured — leaving zero missed patches.
- Devour Speed Scaling: Upgraded swarms devour up to 700 crops per second, cleanly wiping out entire sectors.
- Radial HUD Ability Card: A dedicated bottom-right HUD widget displays ability readiness, cooldown countdowns, and an active radial sweep clock.
⚡ Dynamic Pace & Speedrun Timer
- Passive Progression Speed: As you clear the field, you automatically gain movement speed without screen-obscuring icons or particles:
- 🏃 $\ge$ 10% Cleared: Speed I (+20%)
- 🏃💨 $\ge$ 30% Cleared: Speed II (+40%)
- ⚡ $\ge$ 60% Cleared: Speed III (+60% max boost)
- Top-Right Harvest Stopwatch: Real-time timer with millisecond precision (
hh:mm:ss:xxx) that automatically pauses when menus or inventory screens are open. - Personal Best (PB) Tracking: Automatically records your best clear times per player UUID to local world records.
🏆 100% Victory Celebration
- Reaching 100% clearance triggers celebratory fanfare, a toast notification, and an ornate victory recap popup detailing your Final Essence Earned and Completion Time.
- Includes direct links to support the original indie creator on YouTube and Wishlist Unharvest on Steam.
- Quick replay actions and commands to reset or regenerate the arena for another speedrun attempt.
