Villager Farm

A Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that overhauls villager farming behavior.

Features

• Decoupled from mob_griefing — villager harvest, replant, and pickup now ignore the global mob_griefing gamerule (toggle in config). Set mob_griefing=false to stop creepers/endermen damaging the world while villagers keep farming.
• Atomic harvest + replant — when a farmer breaks a mature crop, the seedling goes back in the same tick. Yields are vanilla loot minus one seed-equivalent.
• Five extended crops — sugar cane, nether wart, pumpkin, melon, and cocoa. Pumpkins and melons are only harvested when stem-grown (verified via blockorigin) so player-placed decorations are left alone. Sugar cane harvest leaves the bottom stalk so the column regrows. Each crop is independently toggleable.
• Food sharing + breeding integration — pumpkin (food=4 by default), melon slice / sugar cane / cocoa beans (food=1) all count toward villager breeding readiness. Custom share path lets farmers throw any of these to neighbors as soon as they have ≥2 in a slot, so the new crops actually circulate.
• Pickup status effects — picking up sugar cane gives Speed (configurable duration + amplifier per cane). Cocoa beans give Regeneration. A cleric picking up nether wart rolls one of the configured positive effects.
• Farmer anti-trample — farmer-profession villagers stop wrecking their own farmland by jumping. Other entities still trample normally.
• Wider AI scan — vanilla's farmer brain only scans ±1 around the villager. The mod adds a configurable wider scan for extended crops (default ±2). Includes a fallback that populates SECONDARY_JOB_SITE for soul-sand and jungle-log farms; without it, the brain framework would refuse to even consider the farming task.
• WTHIT + Jade tooltip integration — hovering a villager shows their current activity (Working / Resting / Meeting / Idle / etc.) plus their inventory contents. Optional; works with either tooltip mod, or none.

Every feature has a config toggle, and every magic number is editable.

Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader ≥ 0.19.2 and Fabric API for Minecraft 1.21.11.
2. Download blockorigin (required runtime dep — provides the cause-tracking that makes the stem-grown pumpkin/melon detection work).
3. Download villagerfarm-x.y.z.jar from the releases page and drop it into your mods/ folder alongside blockorigin.
4. Optional: install WTHIT or Jade to get the villager tooltip overlay.

Configuration

On first launch the mod creates config/villagerfarm.json with sensible defaults. Edit the file and restart the game/server to apply changes. There's no hot-reload command.

The schema is a single JSON object with two top-level sections:

features — toggles

values — numeric knobs

The config does not validate its inputs. If you set ticks_per_item: -50 or rename enabled to enabled_lol, you get whatever fallback Gson decides — usually defaults for missing fields, weird behavior for nonsense values. Edit responsibly.
