About this Mod
Ever wanted string without the hassle of farming spiders? Simply Cotton allows you to farm Cotton and form it into string! Includes nothing else - Simply Cotton™
Obtain cotton seeds by breaking grass and farm it like you would any other crop. Two cotton balls in a crafting grid will result in two string. Feel free to use in any modpacks, though credit is always appreciated. If you'd like to help add localizations, reach out to me on discord or through github.
This mod is for Fabric. I have no plans to port it to Forge, though anybody is welcome to do so.

Server lagging with Simply Cotton – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Simply Cotton consumes the most tick time.
