Set up an AFK crop farm that grows while you explore

How it works

Unloaded Activity Mod allows crops to grow even when they're outside your simulation distance. This means you can plant crops, leave the area, and they'll progress as if you were standing there watching them.

Setup steps

1. Plant your crops in a designated farm area using seeds (wheat, carrots, potatoes, etc.) or saplings for trees.

2. Leave the area and travel far away—beyond simulation distance. The mod will begin tracking time for those blocks.

3. Explore or do other tasks for as long as you want. The crops will accumulate growth ticks in the background.

4. Return to your farm and the mod will calculate how much the crops should have grown and update them instantly.

5. Harvest your fully-grown crops.

Tips

• This works for all crop types including cocoa beans, sugar canes, bamboo, and saplings.
• Baby animals will also age while unloaded, so you can breed animals and leave them to mature.
