About this Mod

A lightweight hardcore Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.2+ that makes survival more challenging by significantly reducing basic crop growth speed.

- Wheat
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Beetroots

The mod is highly optimized, focused purely on agricultural balancing, and has no extra dependencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

hardfood 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is hardfood compatible with fabric?

hardfood officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with hardfood – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if hardfood 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.
