🧱 Farmland Tiers

  • Base Soil – Basic improved farmland (requires water).
  • Stone Soil – No water needed, beginner-friendly farming.
  • Iron Soil – Supercharged by lightning, sometimes boosts or slows neighbor crops.
  • Gold Soil – Lucky instant growth chance but no nighttime growth.
  • Diamond Soil – Explosion-proof, speeds nearby Diamond farmland.
  • Emerald Soil – Drops XP on crop maturity, pauses when mobs are nearby.
  • Nether Star Soil – Witherproof, mob-harming aura, insane crop speeds!

---

✨ Key Features

  • Tile Entity Farmland – Each farmland tracks its own crop growth timer.
  • Crop Timer Overlay – Shows remaining time when sneaking near a crop.
  • Bonemeal Integration – Bonemeal now reduces timer by 20%, instead of instantly growing crops.
  • Modded Crop Compatible – Works with any crop using the standard age property (e.g., Pams, Croptopia).
  • Explosion Resistance – Diamond and Netherstar soils resist TNT, Ghast fireballs, Wither explosions, and more!
  • Waterless Tiers – Stone and above no longer require water.
  • No Trampling – Players and mobs can no longer ruin your crops!
