Seed & Stock: Swords to Plowshares

A cozy, combat-free farming and animal-breeding pack for Minecraft 1.21.1.

The land has been at peace for as long as anyone can remember. There are no swords. There are no monsters. There is only the calm, peaceful, rural life of the farmer.

🧬 Evolution, hand picked by you

Made for the Big Autumn Packjam 2026, theme: Evolution.

Nature doesn't drive the evolution of your herd - you do. Selectively breed your animals to improve their stats: yield, fertility, growth rate and constitution. Discover unique genetic traits like Gluttonous Pigs or Broody Chickens. Powered by Animal Husbandry.

New Tools

Use the Magnifying Glass to inspect your livestock's health, and the Farm Ledger to see their genetics.

New Trades

Find new breeding stock in the wild, or sell crops for cash and buy new animals from the Wandering Trader.

Earn Cash for Crops and Animal Products

Your Coin Pouch will automatically collect your earnings and condense stacks of smaller denominations into larger. Use a Crafting Table to break larger coins down into smaller.

Guide Book

An in-game Guide Book provides quests to help you get started. While most of the quests are intended as a gentle introduction to the pack's mechanics, a handful are Just-For-Fun challenge goals, like breeding the Ultimate Beast - an animal with all maximum stats!

Cook Meals to Increase Profits

Cook raw ingredients into a meal, from simple snacks to full on feasts, to increase their value in the Shipping Bin.

🐞 Found a bug? Have a suggestion?

Report it on the Seed & Stock issue tracker. Crash Assistant should open when the game crashes, allowing you to easily view/copy/upload your logs. Just paste them into the Issue tracker.

I'm also very open to feedback, especially about pricing/balance/pacing, or any new features you'd like to see.
