Allows villagers to replant the correct seed & allows them to use modded ones
Smarter Farmers is a very simple mod that makes farmers a bit less dumb
Farmers can now:
- Interact, plant and replant modded crops
- Replant crops according to some logic. No longer will they pick the first seed they have but they'll try to replant what they just harvested instead
- If no crop is being replanted farmers will choose a new crop to plant based on the crops around it. No more lone single patches of carrots n your wheat field!
- Accept and pick up seeds from said crops & prevent non farmers from doing the same
- Will equip a hoe while performing their farm task. Its tier depends on their villager level
- No longer trample farmland
- Can plant and replant on non non vanilla farmland like blocks, tweaked via a "farmer_plantable_on" tag. By default includes blocks like Supplementaries' planter
- Can harvest special non crop like blocks, tweaked via a "crop_replaceable" tag. By default includes stuff like Immersive Weathering's weeds and Overweight Farming and Hefty crops big crop blocks
- Are immune to sweet berry bush damage
- In addition all villagers will now accept and breed with any (modded) food item you throw at them
Modding is taking a lot of my time, so if you like what I do, and you would like to support me, you can do so here. If you do, you'll receive a custom Globe and or Statue just for you! This also applies if you purchase a server from Akliz using "supplementaries" code.

rewrote the entire farm logic task
this allowed for the following improvements:
- farmers wont target a block if they dont have seeds
- farmers will better prioritize nearby blocks
- seed type will be more accurately chosen based off many more neighboring blocks ina 3x3x3 cube
- farm task will in general feel snappier with less idling and doing nothing
- duration that farmers will have to stay on a block to break it can be chagned via config
- fixed farmers not quite reaching their destination while targeting farmland
- farm task will now entirely replace the existing one. This means that it will override whatever other mod changing the farm task.
