RightClickHarvest — a mod for quick harvesting and automatic replanting of crops in Minecraft

RightClickHarvest replaces harvesting in Minecraft, allowing you to harvest with a right-click on a mature crop. Instead of breaking the farmland block, picking up the drops, and manually replanting the seeds, the plant immediately yields the harvest and returns to the seedling stage on the same block. The mod does not add new items, blocks, or recipes — it only changes how crops respond to a right-click.

How harvesting works

Right-clicking a mature crop puts the drops directly into the inventory and resets the plant's growth stage to zero. This works on all vanilla crops: wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, cocoa beans, nether wart, and others. Melons and pumpkins are also harvested with a right-click — there is no need to break the block separately.

The Fortune enchantment on a hoe is taken into account when calculating drops — the formula is the same as when standard breaking a block with a left-click. Silk Touch does not affect harvesting, since the drops are determined by the mature crop's mechanics rather than block breaking.

Harvesting in a radius based on the hoe

When the harvestInRadius parameter in the config file is enabled (default value), the harvest radius depends on the tier of the hoe in hand. 

The higher the tier, the larger the square harvest radius per click. Hoes from other mods are automatically included in the corresponding tag if the mod or modpack author added them there; otherwise, such a hoe is treated as a wooden one.

Config

The config/rightclickharvest.json5 file is created upon the first launch. 

The hasUserBeenWarnedForNotUsingHoe and showServerWarning parameters control one-time warnings (about the lack of a hoe when requireHoe is enabled and about connecting to a server without the mod). These are utility keys — you do not need to edit them for normal gameplay.

Conclusion

RightClickHarvest eliminates the routine of Minecraft — the repetitive cycle of "break and replant" when harvesting crops in the late game, when fields cover dozens of blocks. It is suitable for singleplayer survival, multiplayer on your own server, and modpacks where you want to reduce the fatigue of manual harvesting without building heavy automated farms with pistons and observers.
