Troubleshoot crops not harvesting in 3×3

Common harvest issues

If your hoe swing isn't harvesting all nine crops at once, check these conditions:

Verification checklist

1. Crop maturity: The data pack only harvests fully mature crops. Immature crops won't be included in the harvest.

2. Correct positioning: Stand at or aim toward the center block of your 3×3 area. If you're off-center, you may harvest a different 3×3 grid than intended.

3. Hoe type: Confirm you're using an actual hoe (any tier works). Other tools won't trigger the 3×3 harvest.

4. Data pack active: Verify the data pack is enabled in your world. Check your world settings or use commands to confirm it's loaded.

5. Block alignment: Ensure your crops are planted in a proper 3×3 grid without gaps or obstacles in the center area.

If issues persist after checking these points, try harvesting a single crop manually to confirm the data pack is functioning, then adjust your positioning and try again.
