Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 1.21–1.21.1Newest
Minecraft 1.20.2–1.20.6
Minecraft 1.19.4–1.20.1

⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 ⬇ Download for 1.20.2–1.20.6 ⬇ Download for 1.19.4–1.20.1

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
