Farm 3×3 Data Pack FAQ

Simply equip any hoe and swing it at a crop block as you normally would. The mod will automatically harvest all mature crops in a 3×3 square centered on the block you hit, rather than just the single block.

The 3×3 harvest works on standard Minecraft crops like wheat, carrots, potatoes, and beetroot when they're fully mature. Some modded crops may not be compatible depending on how they're coded.

Any hoe works with the 3×3 feature—wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, or even modded hoes. The hoe type doesn't affect the harvest radius, only your durability consumption.

Yes, the mod only handles harvesting. You'll need to replant the 3×3 area yourself or use another method like bone meal or automated planting systems to speed up replanting.

Make sure all crops in the 3×3 area are fully mature (fully grown)—immature crops won't be harvested. Also verify the mod is properly loaded by checking your data pack list in-game.

Fortune enchantments on your hoe will apply to all crops harvested in the 3×3 area, giving you a chance for extra drops from each block.

Yes, harvesting a 3×3 area consumes durability for each crop block harvested, so it drains faster than single-block harvesting. Use a durable hoe or bring repair materials for large farms.

It should work alongside most farming mods, but conflicts can occur if other packs modify crop harvesting mechanics. Test compatibility in a backup world first.

The 3×3 area is the standard feature of this mod and is not adjustable through normal configuration. Check the mod's documentation for any advanced customization options.

Yes, data packs work on multiplayer servers. Install it on the server side and all players will be able to use the 3×3 harvest feature.
