Description
Effective Farmer
Tired of farming being repetitive and time-consuming? Effective Farmer is a small singleplayer-only quality-of-life mod that makes crop farming faster and less tedious by expanding planting and harvesting to a 3x3x3 area around the selected block.

Features
3x3x3 Crop Planting
When placing supported crops, Effective Farmer also plants the same crop on all available farmland blocks in a 3x3x3 cube around the selected block.
Supported crops:
- Wheat Seeds
- Beetroot Seeds
- Carrots
- Potatoes
Every planted crop still consumes one matching item from your inventory.
Scythe
Effective Farmer adds a new tool: the Scythe.
The Scythe harvests fully grown supported crops in a 3x3x3 area around the block you click. It loses durability when harvesting crops.


Sneak to Disable
Hold Shift while planting or harvesting to disable the 3x3x3 effect and use normal single-block vanilla behavior.
