Actually Harvest Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start harvesting crops right away?
If your config allows harvesting with an empty hand, simply right-click mature crops to collect them instantly. If empty-hand harvesting is disabled, you'll need to use a hoe instead.
Do I lose durability when harvesting with a hoe?
Only if durability cost is enabled in your config file. When enabled, each harvest will consume a small amount of your hoe's durability; you can adjust or disable this cost in the configuration.
How do I get a bigger harvesting range?
Use higher-tier hoes like diamond or netherite, which have wider ranges than wood or stone. You can extend the range further by applying Efficiency enchantments to your hoe.
Why aren't my modded crops harvesting?
Enable automatic crop detection in the config, or manually add the modded crop's block ID to the crops list. Some mods may require manual configuration if they use non-standard crop mechanics.
Can I harvest crops without a hoe if I disable empty-hand harvesting?
No—if empty-hand harvesting is disabled in the config, you must use a hoe to harvest any crops.
Do I get XP from harvesting?
Yes, harvesting crops grants XP rewards. The exact amount depends on your configuration settings.
Does the harvesting range work in all directions?
The harvesting range is based on your hoe tier and enchantments, and it applies in a configurable area around where you right-click. Check your config to see the exact range values for each hoe tier.
What happens if I use an Efficiency-enchanted hoe?
Efficiency enchantments increase your harvesting range beyond the base range of your hoe tier, allowing you to collect crops from a larger area with a single right-click.
Can I configure different harvesting ranges for different hoe types?
Yes, the config allows you to set a custom range for lower-tier hoes (wood, stone, gold, iron), while higher-tier hoes have their own ranges that can be further extended with enchantments.
Does this mod work with other farming mods?
Yes, the mod includes automatic and manual configuration options to support crops from other mods. Enable auto-configuration or add modded crop blocks to the config file manually.
