About this Mod

This mod slows down crop growth by a factor of ten, making farming in Minecraft feel more challenging and realistic. Instead of crops instantly reaching maturity, players must plan ahead and manage their farms carefully. By requiring more patience and strategy, the mod creates a balanced gameplay experience where agriculture feels more immersive, rewarding, and true to life compared to the vanilla game.

(works on trees too + fully customizable, commands - /slowgrowth [number] )

Frequently Asked Questions

Slow growth 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 (1.21.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Slow growth compatible with fabric?

Slow growth officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Slow growth – how to optimize performance?

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