RightClickHarvest lets you harvest mature crops in Minecraft 1.14–26.1.2 with one right-click and auto-replant them — wheat, melons, cocoa and more, with hoe-tier-based radius. Requires JamLib.

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.
Right-clicking a field of mature crops instantly resets the block to the seedling stage
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.
| Parameter | What it does |
| requireHoe | When set to true , you must hold a hoe in your hand to harvest with a right-click. Without a hoe, right-clicking does nothing. Exceptions: blocks from the hoe_never_required tag (cocoa beans, nether wart) are harvested anyway. |
| harvestInRadius | When set to true , the harvest radius depends on the tier of the hoe (see explanation above). When set to false , only a single block under the cursor is harvested per click, regardless of the hoe. |
| hungerLevel | How much hunger is consumed per harvest. NONE — no cost. LOW , NORMAL , HIGH — three levels of increasing hunger cost. Specific values are hardcoded in the mod code and are not exported to the file. |
| experienceType | Experience points behavior. NONE — experience is not affected. COST — each harvest deducts a certain amount of points. REWARD — each harvest awards experience points. |

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.
Installation
A typical installation takes about 5 minutes. The flow is the same; only the loader and the matching build differ.
- Install a mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) that matches your Minecraft version.
- Download the mod file (.jar) built for that same version.
- Place the .jar into your .minecraft/mods folder.
- Launch Minecraft with the modded profile and check the mod loads in-game.
