🧱 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
ageproperty (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!
