How do I turn on Better Farm after installing it?
Better Farm is a resource pack, so go to Options > Resource Packs and move it from the available list to the selected list, then click Done. Make sure you're also running OptiFine, because that's what loads the custom animal shapes.
Why do my pigs and cows still look vanilla with Better Farm on?
The animal models only work through OptiFine, so first check that the game is actually launching with OptiFine. If it is, look in OptiFine's video settings and make sure custom entity models are switched on. If your crops look 3D but your animals don't, one of those two things is the cause.
Is Better Farm a farming mod that adds new crops or mechanics?
No. It's a visual resource pack that changes how existing farm animals and plants look. Crops still grow, harvest and drop exactly as they do in vanilla.
What animals does Better Farm change?
Pigs get curly tails and snouts that stick out, cows and sheep get extra detail on their faces and bodies, and chickens look plumper and more bird-like.
Which plants get 3D models in Better Farm?
Farm crops like potatoes, carrots and beetroot, wild plants like sugar cane, sweet berries and flowers, and both normal mushrooms and Nether fungi all pop out of their blocks in 3D. Planting them side by side in a garden is the easiest way to see the changes.
Does Better Farm work on Minecraft Bedrock?
Better Farm depends on OptiFine for its animal models, and OptiFine is a Java Edition tool. That makes this pack a Java Edition pack, not a Bedrock add-on.
Is this the Better Farming mod for Stardew Valley, Valheim, Sims 4, ARK or Medieval Dynasty?
No. This Better Farm is only a Minecraft resource pack that restyles farm animals and plants. Mods with similar names for those other games are completely separate projects.
Will Better Farm lag my game?
It's designed to run well on most computers and keeps the blocky style rather than adding heavy detail. If you notice slowdowns around very large farms, lowering render distance in OptiFine's settings usually helps more than removing the pack.
My crops look flat even though Better Farm is enabled. What's wrong?
Another resource pack that changes the same crops is probably overriding it. Move Better Farm higher in the selected resource packs list so it loads on top, then reload.
Can I use Better Farm on a multiplayer server or remove it from my survival world later?
It's client-side only, so you can use it on any server, but other players only see the new models if they run it themselves. It doesn't change your world, so turning it off simply brings back the vanilla look.
