Herbicide
Clear grass, plants, and trees instantly with a simple spray
About this Mod
Tired of overgrown grass, unruly flowers, or dense forests getting in the way of your builds?
Herbicide adds two simple-but-powerful spray items that let you clear vegetation instantly — with a quick fan-shaped sweep for normal use, or a massive circular blast when charged up.

Features
• Two tiers of cleanup
• Herbicide — clears grass, ferns, dead bushes, seagrass, and kelp.
• Potent Herbicide — clears almost any plant, including flowers, leaves, logs, crops, vines, mushrooms, bamboo, lily pads, bee nests, coral, and more.
• Smart fan-shaped spray (normal use)
Right-click to spray a 120° fan-shaped area in the direction you are facing.
This clears only what is in front of you, so your farms and buildings behind you stay safe.
• Herbicide: up to 16 blocks ahead, ±8 vertical.
• Potent Herbicide: up to 20 blocks ahead, ±32 vertical.
• Massive charged cleanse (hold right-click for 1 second)
Release a circular blast that radiates outward in 8 concentric rings (radius 96, height ±64). The rings expand with a slight delay to keep server load smooth. Great for flattening large fields or clearing jungles in one go.
• No item drops — destroyed plants vanish completely, keeping your inventory clean.
• Particles & sound effects — satisfying green dust spray for the normal herbicide, and fiery orange-red dust for the potent version.

Herbicide server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge 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 (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Herbicide compatible with forge?
Herbicide officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Herbicide – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Herbicide 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.
