About this project

What does Lean Times add?

This is a configurable mod that makes the following changes:

  • Farmland with crops above occasionally turns to dirt. The crops are not destroyed when this happens, but they do stop growing.
  • Sweet berries grow slower and occasionally fail to grow and disappear.
  • Animals grow slower and their breeding cooldown gets longer after each child.
  • Chicken lay less and less eggs over time, and eggs have a lower chance of spawning a chicken.
  • Less animals spawn during worldgen. Less animals and less fishes spawn after worldgen.
  • Fishing takes longer.
  • Honey heals 1 hunger point.
  • Glow berries have a 5% chance of giving the poison effect.
  • Kelp and other vertically growing plants have higher initial age and have a chance of starting with age 25 (no growth at all until replaced).
