Speed Up Crop Growth with Squatting

Basic Squatting Technique

The core mechanic of Squat Grow Mod is simple: stand near plants and press Shift (the sneak key) repeatedly to accelerate their growth. Each press applies an effect equivalent to bone meal.

Steps:

1. Plant seeds or place saplings as normal

2. Stand within range of the plants (default is 16 blocks)

3. Hold or repeatedly tap Shift to trigger growth

4. Watch plants mature significantly faster than vanilla growth

Effective Farming Strategy

For maximum efficiency, position yourself centrally among your crops so multiple plants are within range simultaneously. This means one squatting session can mature many crops at once.

• Plant crops in a compact, organized grid
• Stand in the middle and squat repeatedly
• Move to a new position and repeat

This method eliminates the need for bone meal entirely, making early-game farming much faster and more resource-efficient. Works on all standard Minecraft crops including wheat, carrots, potatoes, and saplings.
