Farm 3x3 is a data pack that harvests crops in a 3x3 square whenever you hold a hoe. It ships as a mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a plain datapack. It is required on the server, while the client side is optional.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric: Minecraft 1.18 to 26.3. The newest build needs no dependencies; some builds for 1.20.5 to 1.20.6 require Fabric API.
- Forge, NeoForge and Quilt: Minecraft 1.18 to 26.3. The newest build needs no dependencies.
What it does
Hold a hoe and crops in a 3x3 square are harvested. Put a hoe in your offhand and the crops replant automatically. Replanting needs Minecraft 1.21 or later and Farm3x3 2.2.0 or later.
Installing the mod or the data pack
- 1.Mod route: pick the file for your loader and Minecraft release, then place it in the mods folder of the server. The guide to installing mods on Java covers the folder and the loader profile.
- 2.Data pack route: download the plain datapack file instead of a loader file.
- 3.Settings: run /function farm3x3:settings in the world to configure or remove the data pack.
Modded crops
The wiki lists every supported vanilla and modded crop. Support for some modded crops needs additional data packs, and the wiki explains which ones. Check that page before building a modpack around a specific crop mod.
Questions about Farm 3x3.
4 questions
Is Farm 3x3 a mod or a data pack?
Both. The same project ships a plain datapack and mod files for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The creator describes it as a data pack that harvests crops in a 3x3 square when you hold a hoe. Either way it has to be present on the server, and the client side is optional.
Does Farm 3x3 work in creative mode?
No. The data pack does not work in creative mode, so the 3x3 harvest does not trigger there. Switch to survival and hold a hoe in your hand. If the install seems to have failed, check your mode first, because that is the documented limit.
How do I configure or remove Farm 3x3?
Run the command /function farm3x3:settings in your world to configure or remove the data pack. Automatic replanting with a hoe in the offhand is available from Minecraft 1.21 with Farm3x3 2.2.0 or later. Also note that the data pack does not work in creative mode.
Does Farm 3x3 support modded crops?
The creator keeps a wiki page listing every supported vanilla and modded crop. Some modded crops need additional data packs to work, and the same wiki page explains which packs to add. Check that list before you rely on a particular crop mod.
