⚒️ Agrarian Reform

"The world should not wait for you to watch it."

Agrarian Reform is a pastoral immersion mod that transforms Minecraft's agriculture from a proximity-based machine into a living, breathing ecosystem. It ensures that your hard work persists and grows even when you aren't there to witness it, while adding depth to soil management, irrigation, and biodiversity.

Part of the Vanilla Outsider Collection — mods that refine the vanilla experience with modern standards.

✨ Features

🕰️ The Continuum (Offline Persistence)

Stop waiting for chunks to load for your crops to grow. The Continuum introduces true offline persistence:

• Timestamped State: When a chunk unloads, the exact state of every crop and plant is saved.
• Time Delta Simulation: Upon re-entering the area, the mod calculates exactly how much time has passed and simulates growth stages accordingly.
• Universal Scope: Supports standard crops (CropBlock), Sugar Cane, Cactus, Nether Wart, Cocoa, Vines, Sweet Berry Bushes, and Saplings.
• Performance Optimized: Uses a throttled, distributed update system to ensure no lag spikes upon returning to a large farm.

🧤 Soil Resilience (Smart Trample Logic)

Protect your fields without sacrificing immersion:

• Soft Step: Walking and running on crops is safe. Only jumping or falling from height onto them without protection will turn them back to dirt.
• Boot Immunity: Wearing Leather Boots or having the Feather Falling enchantment (any level) prevents crops from being trampled.
• Heavy Entities: Large beasts (Ravagers, Iron Golems) will always trample farmland, maintaining the threat of raids.
• Total Immunity: A dedicated GameRule agrarian_reform:total_trample_immunity allows admins to disable trampling entirely for a more relaxed experience.

💧 Hydro-Dynamics (Advanced Irrigation)

Water behaves more logically, rewarding strategic placement and natural weather:

• Deep Reach: Water source blocks hydrate farmland up to 8 blocks away.
• Source vs Flowing: Only Source Blocks reach the full 8-block range. Flowing water remains at vanilla range (4 blocks).
• Rainfall Celebration: Natural rain hydrates all exposed farmland and provides a growth acceleration spurt.
• Always Wet Option: agrarian_reform:always_wet_farmland forces farmland to remain hydrated regardless of water proximity.

🍀 Polyculture (Biodiversity Bonus)

Nature thrives in variety. Planting different types of crops adjacent to each other (e.g., Wheat next to Carrots) provides a Biodiversity Bonus (+10% growth speed boost), rewarding organic farm designs over monoculture grids.

🌾 Right-Click Harvesting & Seed-to-Grass

Farming QoL improvements designed to fit seamlessly into the vanilla experience:

• Right-Click Harvest: Right-click mature crops to harvest and automatically replant them in one smooth action. Fully supports vanilla crops, modded crop blocks (e.g. Farmer's Delight, Croptopia), and Sugar Cane columns (harvests all blocks above the base, allowing the column to automatically regrow).
• Seed Planting: Use seeds on dirt blocks to grow short grass, making landscaping and sheep grazing setups easier.

🦴 Universal Bone Meal

Grow plants that are not natively bonemealable in vanilla:

• Sugar Cane & Cactus: Grows the vertical column up by 1 block (up to the standard limit of 3 blocks).
• Nether Wart & Cocoa: Advances their growth by 1 stage per use.
• Vines: Grows the vine downwards by 1 block, matching the horizontal attachment properties of the vine above.
• Fair Consumption: Consumes exactly 1 bone meal item from your hand (unless in Creative mode) and triggers standard particles and sounds.

⚡ Global Growth Multiplier

Control the growth speed of your crops globally without modifying actual server game ticks:

• Proportional Ticking: Speeds up or slows down the random tick rate of crops.
• Ticking Math: 0 stops growth entirely, 50 halves growth speed, and values above 100 speed it up proportionally (e.g. 200 runs growth ticks twice as fast).
• Target Scope: Targets vanilla and modded crops, sugar cane, cactus, nether wart, cocoa, vines, saplings, and sweet berry bushes.

⚙️ Configuration (Native Game Rules)

[!IMPORTANT] Config vs. In-Game GameRules: The global configuration file only defines default values for new worlds at creation time. If you have already created/opened a world, changing the config file will have no effect. You must change the settings in-game using the Edit Game Rules UI screen or the /gamerule command.

No messy config files. Everything lives in the Edit Game Rules screen or via standard commands:

• agrarian_reform:hydration_source_range: How far still water hydrates farmland. (Default: 8)
• agrarian_reform:hydration_flowing_range: How far flowing water hydrates farmland. (Default: 4)
• agrarian_reform:rain_growth_acceleration: Growth stages jumped during rain events. (Default: 1)
• agrarian_reform:growth_biodiversity_bonus: Toggles speed bonus from mixed crop planting. (Default: true)
• agrarian_reform:ambient_crop_rustle: Enables sound effects when walking through crops. (Default: true)
• agrarian_reform:ambient_vitality_particles: Enables vitality particles on growth events. (Default: true)
• agrarian_reform:total_trample_immunity: Toggle whether trampling is disabled entirely. (Default: false)
• agrarian_reform:always_wet_farmland: Forces farmland to remain hydrated regardless of water. (Default: false)
• agrarian_reform:seeds_grow_grass: Toggles whether seeds grow short grass on dirt. (Default: true)
• agrarian_reform:right_click_harvest: Toggles right-click harvesting and automatic replanting. (Default: true)
• agrarian_reform:universal_bonemeal: Enables using bone meal on non-bonemealable plants. (Default: true)
• agrarian_reform:global_growth_multiplier: Scale growth speeds globally (0 = disabled, 100 = vanilla, 200 = 2x speed). (Default: 100)
