AutoSow is a lightweight and performance-friendly Forge mod for Minecraft 1.21.x that streamlines farming by automatically harvesting and replanting fully grown crops when you right-click them with the correct planting item. No more tedious replanting after every harvest — just click, collect, and keep farming!
- 🌾 Supported crops: Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroots, Torchflower, Nether Wart, Cocoa Beans
- ⚙ Per-crop configuration – enable or disable any supported crop individually in the config file
- 🌱 Seed consumption toggle – choose whether replanting uses up seeds/planting items or not
- 🤖 Dispenser support – use dispenser(with shears) to harvest melons, pumpkins and sweet berries
- 🎯 Direct-to-inventory mode (optional) – harvested items can go straight into your inventory instead of dropping on the ground

Manual Harvesting
- Hold the correct seed or planting item in your hand.
- Right-click a fully grown crop.
- The crop is instantly harvested and replanted at growth stage 0.
- If Direct-to-inventory is enabled, the drops go straight to your inventory.
-
Dispenser Harvester
- Place a dispenser facing a fully grown melon block.
- Load it with shears.
- When powered by redstone, the dispenser will automatically harvest the melon:
- If
WHOLE_MELON_DROPis set totruein the config → drops a whole melon. - If set to
false→ drops several melon slices (3–7).
- If
- Shears lose 1 durability point for each harvest.
- The same mechanic works for:
- Pumpkins → always drops a whole pumpkin.
- Sweet Berries → drops 2–3 berries depending on bush age.
-
Special Cases
- Cocoa Beans must be attached to jungle wood to be replanted.
- Nether Wart requires Soul Sand beneath it.
- If the supporting block for a crop is invalid, replanting will be skipped.
