About this Mod
Dew Drop: Sturdy Farmland - Growth Edition
This project is a fork of Dew Drop: Sturdy Farmland by coolbot100s adding growth behavior to sturdy farmland. It is meant to be used in the context of modpacks, as some of its features need additional kubejs/datapack functionality to work as intended. This mod has all the features of the original by coolbot100s, which can be found here.
Features
Daily Crop Growth
Every morning, crops will grow by 1 stage if they are watered. This is calculated using Serene Season's season system, and has additional support for other mods. This mod also disables random ticks of all crops with the tag #dew_drop_farmland_growth:cancel_random_tick.
Fertilized Farmland
To pair with the new growth system, six new fertilizers are added:
- Weak Fertilizer - Boosts initial crop growth by 1 day (Age)
- Strong Fertilizer - Boosts initial crop growth by 2 days (Ages)
- Hyper Fertilizer - Boosts initial crop growth by 3 days (Ages)
- Hydrating Fertilizer - Does not dry in the morning until halfway grown (rounded down)
- Deluxe Hydrating Fertilizer - Does not dry
- Bountiful Fertilizer - A blank canvas for modpack makers to add their own mechanics
- Low Quality Fertilizer - Blank farmland with a tag for Quality Food
- High Quality Fertilizer - Theoretical stronger version of the above
- Pristine Quality Fertilizer - Strongest version of the above
Garden Pots
Garden Pots can only be manually watered but will grow crop during any season (if Serene Seasons is installed). Does not break crop when not watered and can be upgraded with Hydrating Fertilizer. Includes hanging variants when placed
Using Quality Fertilizers
If using the Quality Food mod, you must update the configuration for them to have an affect. This can be done using the farmland_config like this:
farmland_config = [ "2;#minecraft:crops;#dew_drop_farmland_growth:low_quality_fertilized_farmland;1.5", "2;#minecraft:crops;#dew_drop_farmland_growth:high_quality_fertilized_farmland;2","2;#minecraft:crops;#dew_drop_farmland_growth:pristine_quality_fertilized_farmland;3"]
Sprinklers
This mod comes with 4 tiers of Sprinklers, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite. Sprinklers can be enabled in the server config using checkSprinklers = true (on by default)
When enabled, farmland will check for a nearby sprinkler on the same or one level above. This is done using the following tags:
* `dew_drop_farmland_growth:sprinkler_tier_1` - Prevents drying in a 3x3 area (iron)
* `dew_drop_farmland_growth:sprinkler_tier_2` - Prevents drying in a 5x5 area (gold)
* `dew_drop_farmland_growth:sprinkler_tier_3` - Prevents drying in a 7x7 area (diamond)
* `dew_drop_farmland_growth:sprinkler_tier_4` - Prevents drying in a 9x9 area (netherite)
The area is centered around the block with the tag
