Fertile Grounds Mod (26.3, 1.20.1) – Grow Thriving Crops with Helpful Garden

Fertile Grounds Mod adds faster-growing soils, friendly night visitors, and automated garden features to Minecraft farming. Players can speed up their fields with enriched dirt or wait for tiny fairies that cast growth magic over crops under the stars. The mod also lets you catch these helpful sprites in bottles and give them cozy houses right on your farmland. Over time, your helpers protect your crops, alert you when food is ripe, and can even build an entire organized garden plot for you.

Features:

• Enriched Soil: Speeds up crop growth four times on normal enriched dirt and eleven times on super enriched dirt.
• Direct Fertilizer: Upgrades existing tilled land right underneath living crops without any digging or replanting.
• Bean Fairies: Float down on clear nights to sprinkle magic dust and grow large rings of crops at once.
• Fairy Hotels: House captured fairies so they can speed up nearby crops, stop trampling, and scare away creepers.
• Chime Hotels: Ring a soft bell and emit redstone power whenever nearby crops finish growing.
• Fairy Grove Shrine: Transforms empty land into a lantern-lit garden with water plots, beehives, and hedges in exchange for a diamond.
• Players receive a guide book upon entering a world that explains every mechanic in simple steps.
• Flowers and beehives attract visiting sprites more often, especially during a full moon.
• Sprites linger briefly after working, allowing players to sneak up and catch them using empty glass bottles.
• Brushing an occupied hotel once per day makes the resident happier and improves its farm help.
• Nearby players receive a gentle movement speed boost while standing close to a happy fairy home.
• Wandering Traders occasionally offer helpful items like Fairy Dust and Fertilizer bags for trade.

How to Use:

1. Open the guide book in your inventory or craft a replacement with a normal book and bone meal.
2. Craft Enriched Dirt with dirt and bone meal, place it down, and till it with a hoe.
3. Plant flowers and place beehives around your farm to encourage Bean Fairies to visit at night.
4. Crouch and sneak up quietly behind a lingering fairy, then right-click it with an empty Glass Bottle.
5. Place an empty Fairy Hotel near your crops and place the bottled sprite inside before three days pass.
6. Right-click the hotel with a Brush once every day to keep the fairy happy.
7. Upgrade the home into a Chime Hotel using a note block and spyglass to detect ripe crops.
