Better Farm is a resource pack. It changes how your farm looks, but it adds nothing to the game itself. After it is in your game, you still have to switch it on.
Activate the pack
1. From the title screen or the pause menu, open Options → Resource Packs.
2. Find Better Farm in the Available list on the left. If it is missing, click Open Pack Folder and check that the pack is in your resourcepacks folder. Then reopen the menu.
3. Click the arrow on the pack to move it to the Selected list on the right.
4. If you use other packs, move Better Farm above them. Packs higher in the list win when two packs change the same crop or mob.
5.
Quick in-world check
Load a world and look at two things:
- Crops and plants. Walk up to a field of carrots, potatoes or beetroot, or to some
sugar cane or flowers. They should rise out of the ground as 3D shapes instead of flat crossed textures. - Animals. Find a pig and look for its curly tail and sticking-out snout. Chickens should look plumper. Cows and sheep should have extra detail on their faces and bodies.
If the plants look 3D but the animals still look like plain vanilla, the pack is working. The animal models just aren't loading. They need OptiFine, so see the animal-model troubleshooting guide.
