About this Mod

SmartSeeds

Mod Presentation

This mod is changing the growing speed of some plants depending on the temperature of the biome the plant is growing in. Each plant has an ideal temperature, a min and a max temperature. At the ideal temperature, the plant grows VIMF time faster than in vanilla. (VIMF stands for Vanilla Ideal Multiplication Factor)

Developpement

This mod is still in alpha version and is still buggy. Don't hesitate to report any bugs you find on the bug report page (google forms). It really helps me to devellop this mod.
I will probably not add more features, but I will try to update the mod as fast as I can when there are new Minecraft update.

Technical informations

They are new attributes that a plant block can have. Those include :

Expand the new plants attribute
  • SPEED_FACTOR (the VIMF)
  • MIN_TEMPERATURE, IDEAL_TEMPERATURE, MAX_TEMPERATURE
  • GROW_IN_SNOW
  • NEED_RAIN
  • SURVIVE_SNOW, SURVIVE_RAIN still in devellopement

Those are pretty self-explainatory. As it stand now, SURVIVE_SNOW & SURVIVE_RAIN just stops the plant from growing when the condition is met.

Temperature preferences

Every biome has a TEMPERATURE attribute wich (in vanilla) is comprised beetween -1 and 2. This attribute is used for the biome repartition. At the Ideal temperature, the growing speed of the plant is equal to VANILLA_SPEED * VIMF. At the minimum and maximum temperature, the speed is simply zero.
The general formula to caclulate the growing speed is VANILLA_SPEED * VMF Where the VMF (Vanilla Multiplication Factor) is calculated like this :

VIMF * (1 - max((BIOME_TEMPERATURE - IDEAL) / (MIN - IDEAL), (BIOME_TEMPERATURE - IDEAL) / (MAX - IDEAL)))

Frequently Asked Questions

SmartSeeds 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 (1.20.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is SmartSeeds compatible with fabric?

SmartSeeds officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with SmartSeeds – how to optimize performance?

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