Farming Redo mod for Minetest

Information

This mod replaces the default farming mod with a fully compatible API that allows players to grow crops even when they are not nearby. It also includes many new foods and crops which can be planted directly onto tilled soil without seeds. Crops that do require seeds like wheat and cotton are found when digging in long grasses.

Tech information

Crops grow by adding your new plant to the {growing = 1} group and numbering the stages from _1 to as many stages as you like, but the underscore MUST be used only once in the node name to separate plant from stage number e.g.

• "farming:cotton_1" through to "farming:cotton_8"
• "farming:wheat_1" through to "farming:wheat_8"
• "farming:cucumber_1" through to "farming:cucumber_4"
