Fertile Grounds
This mod adds Fertile Grounds: three tiers of soil-enrichment blocks (Enriched Dirt, Enriched Sand, Super Enriched Dirt) that passively speed up nearby crop growth on top of vanilla's normal tilling and hydration rules.

About this project
What does Fertile Grounds add?

Three tiers of soil-enrichment blocks that passively boost crop growth on top of vanilla's normal tilling and hydration mechanics:
- Enriched Dirt / Enriched Farmland — craft with Dirt + Bone Meal. Works exactly like vanilla dirt: till it, plant on the tilled form only.
- Enriched Sand — craft with Sand + Bone Meal. No tilling needed, boosts whatever bonemealable plant is growing on top (bamboo is the clear example; sugar cane and cactus don't accept bone meal in vanilla, so they're unaffected).
- Super Enriched Dirt / Super Enriched Farmland — craft with Dirt + Bone Meal + Glowstone Dust. Same behavior as Tier 1, stronger boost chance.
Roughly 4x faster growth on Tier 1/2, roughly 11x faster on Super Enriched, for a single well-watered crop.
Requires Fabric API.
