Based on a mod called Better Farming, Enhanced Farming adds a beautiful variety of fruiting trees, including lemon, cherry, and banana trees, and a wide selection of crops, like corn, garlic, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, mint, and more. There are even a few unexpected, quality-of-life features hidden in this mod.
Of course, many of these crops can be prepared into unique foods, but you also get access to a rake that can cut down large areas of grass for seeds, a scarecrow that can keep mobs from stepping on your farmland, and interesting piston interactions with olives.

Sometimes, you don’t need much to enhance an experience, and if you’re a fan of that line of thinking, Simple Farming is a great way to create a vanilla plus environment; everything added feels like it doesn’t stray far away from the base game.
Once installed, you’ll find wild berry bushes scattered across forests and other biomes that you can cultivate, have the option to brew your own alcohol, grab an on-the-go snack from wild fruit trees, grow grapes on hanging vines, and discover new crops.
12 No Farmland Trample

While it’s nice that you can’t trample crops simply by walking on them anymore, they can still be ruined if your lovable but clumsy friend, your farm animals, or incredibly rude, nighttime mobs decide to jump on your beloved crops.

The Smarter Farmers mod is a relatively simple, but effective mod that takes villager AI up a notch, allowing them to avoid making silly mistakes that hurt them, augment their productivity, and plant the crops you'd like them to, even if those crops come from other mods.
Some of the most notable changes to behavior include automatic replanting of vanilla and modded crops, avoiding trampling farmland, complete immunity to sweet berry bush damage, and smart planting routines that automatically segregate crops by their type for better organization and easier harvesting.

The Croptopia mod adds over 50 new crops to grow, over 20 trees to plant, and over 250 unique foods to make, drink, and eat. While it'd be impractical to list out every food, crop, and tree to offer, there are some things you should know before jumping in:
- Running around breaking a bunch of grass like a living lawnmower won't work; you need to find and break specific crops you find in the wild.
- Once you find a modded crop, right-click on it to collect it.
- To make modded tree saplings, take two fruits you've gathered from a tree and combine them with a normal sapling.

Every good farmer needs a green thumb first, and a reliable tool belt second. If you downloaded too many farming-related mods and have a bunch of seeds and crops taking up your inventory, your hotbar space suddenly becomes a hot commodity.

If you've gotten tired of farming the traditional way, or you feel like moving your farm either indoors, or scaling it for verticality, the Botany Pots mod can help with that, effectively allowing you to grow whatever crop you'd like in a clay pot.
Also, for those of you that love automation, harvesting a crop from a botany pot will automatically replant seeds, but even better, upgraded botany pots will harvest themselves, and are able to output harvested crops into storage blocks with hoppers.

- Adds a Market block to the game, which lets you buy seeds, saplings, bone meal, and other staple items.

The Mystical Agriculture mod is for those of you that want to fully commit to the farming lifestyle, and couldn't care less about actively gathering your own resources, like coal or iron from deep underground, or hunting mobs for their drops, like gunpowder.
With over 130 unique crops to plant, you'll be able to grow practically every important resource in the base game, like wood, coal, glowstone, redstone, animal drops, like leather and raw meat, and so much more. Oh, and don't forget about the modded and unique resources as well.
