About this Mod

CropStage is a clean look-at info layer for farmers. Point your crosshair at any growing crop and a small readout appears in the top-left of your screen:

Crop name - Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes or Beetroots
Stage: X / max - the crop's exact growth stage (0-7 for wheat/carrots/potatoes, 0-3 for beetroots)
Ripe - harvest now - turns green the moment the crop is fully grown

Why

Vanilla gives you no precise readout of how close a crop is to maturity - you have to eyeball the texture, which is unreliable for beetroots and mixed fields. CropStage tells you the exact stage of the crop you are aiming at, so you know what to harvest and what to leave growing. Unlike a global percentage overlay, it reads only the single crop under your crosshair - no clutter, no guessing which plant the number refers to.

Details

Pure client-side info HUD - reads the crop's vanilla block state (age property) only. No mixins, no block entities, no gameplay changes.
Reads the age property generically by name, so it stays accurate across versions even as mappings change.
Toggle the HUD on/off with K.
Works on Minecraft 1.21.8 - 1.21.11 (Fabric).

Frequently Asked Questions

CropStage server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is CropStage compatible with fabric?

CropStage officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with CropStage – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CropStage consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
