DatapacksJava
Effortless Harvest
Java data pack listed for Minecraft 1.21–24.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Effortless Harvest
A small datapack to harvest plants without breaking them
Features
Right-click fully grown crops – excluding pepos – with a Diamond or Netherite Hoe to harvest them
- Crop is replanted
- One seed is removed for compensation
- Respects Fortune enchantment of the hoe
⚠︎ Due to limitations of the interaction entity, harvesting can happen at a max rate of 5 crops/s if you hold right-click. To harvest faster, you'll need to spam.
Core Principles
Ray Cast
- Creates and moves a 'ray' from each player holding a hoe to find a suitable crop
- Creates an interaction entity at the crop's location
Interaction
- The interaction entity checks if the UUID of its creator and the person who clicked it match
- If they do, the crop will be harvested
