About this project

What does Better Crops: Chives add?

🌿 Better Crops: Chives

Ever wanted to grow, cook, and brew with a brand new crop? Meet the Chive! Eat any chive-based food to gain the "Smoky" effect, making hostile mobs run away from you just like Creepers do from Cats.


✨ Features

🌱 World Generation

  • Wild Chives: You can find fully grown wild chives on grass in Plains, Sunflower Plains, Forest, Birch Forest, and Dark Forest. Just punch them to harvest.
  • Village Farms: They also generate in village farmlands across 14 different structures, including Desert, Plains, Savanna, Snowy, and Taiga (Zombie Villages included).

🚜 Farming

  • Planting: The chives themselves are the seeds. Right-click on Farmland, Dirt, Grass, or Podzol to plant. They have 4 growth stages and need a light level of 8+ (Bonemeal works too).
  • Endless Harvest: Right-click a mature plant with an empty hand to harvest 1-2 chives. The plant will drop back to stage 2 and keep growing, so you only need to plant once. Breaking the plant directly gives 2-3 chives.

🍽 Food & Cooking

  • Raw Chive: 1 Hunger · 1.2 Actual Saturation (Saturation Modifier: 0.6) · Smoky (60s)
  • Grilled Chive: 2 Hunger · 3.2 Actual Saturation (Saturation Modifier: 0.8) · Smoky (30s) (Cook in a Furnace/Smoker/Campfire)
  • Raw Chive Dumpling: 4 Hunger · 6.4 Actual Saturation (Saturation Modifier: 0.8) · Smoky (60s)
  • Cooked Chive Dumpling: 6 Hunger · 12.0 Actual Saturation (Saturation Modifier: 1.0) · Smoky (60s) (12 saturation points, extremely filling!)
  • 16 Dumpling Varieties: Pork, Beef, Chicken, Mutton, Rabbit, Cod, and Salmon (raw & cooked), plus Tropical Fish and Pufferfish (raw only).
  • Recipe: 6 Wheat around 2 Chive and 1 piece of meat yields 3 Dumplings.

💨 The Smoky Effect

  • Eating any chive food gives you the Smoky effect, making smoke particles rise from your body.
  • Mobs actually panic: Just like how Creepers fear Cats, mobs within a 4-block radius (Level I) or 6-block radius (Level II) will immediately lose their aggression and run about 7 blocks away.
  • They forget you: Hostile mobs will also completely drop their current target.
  • Unaffected: Tamed pets, Creative/Spectator players, and mobs that don't use pathfinding (like Bats, the Wither, and the Ender Dragon) are not affected.

🧪 Brewing

  • Awkward Potion + Chive = Potion of Smokiness (90s)
    • Redstone = Extended duration (4 mins)
    • Glowstone = Level II (60s, 6 blocks)
  • Gunpowder and Dragon Breath work as usual (Splash & Lingering).

💰 Villager Trades

  • Farmer (Novice): ~35% chance to sell 6 Chives for 1 Emerald.
  • Farmer (Apprentice): ~30% chance to buy 10 Chives for 1 Emerald.
  • Wandering Trader: ~30% chance to sell 1 Chive Bundle for 3 Emeralds; ~25% chance to sell 2 random Chive Dumplings for 1 Emerald.

🏠 Decoration & Extras

  • Chive Bundle: Craft with 9 Chives. Can be placed as a block, put in a Flower Pot, and features custom sounds.
  • 12 Advancements: Progress from "Taking Root" to "The Art of Throwing", covering farming, cooking, trading, and brewing.
  • Custom Creative Tab: A dedicated "Better Crops: Chives" tab.
  • Localization: Full Chinese and English support.

📦 Installation

  • Requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API.
  • Available for Minecraft Java Edition 1.16.5 and 1.21.1. Please download the jar matching your game version. Do not install both at the same time.
  • Works in Singleplayer and Servers. (If installed on a server, clients must also have the mod installed).
  • Highly compatible with other mods, as it only adds new content without changing vanilla crops or recipes.

🇨🇳 中文介绍

给原版加一种能种、能吃、还能拿来酿药水的新作物:韭菜。只要吃下任何带韭菜的食物,就会获得「熏味」buff——怪物看到你就像苦力怕看到猫一样,掉头就跑。

✨ 玩法一览

  • 🌱 自然生成:平原、森林等群系会长出野生的成熟韭菜;沙漠、雪原等 14 个村庄农田结构里也会种上。
  • 🚜 种植:韭菜本身就是种子。4 个生长阶段,骨粉可催熟。成熟后空手右键「收割留根」,掉 1~2 根并退回第 2 阶段,种一次就能一直收。
  • 🍽 食物:
    • 生韭菜(1 饥饿值 / 1.2 饱和度,营养价值 1.2)、烤韭菜(2 饥饿值 / 3.2 饱和度,营养价值 1.6)。
    • 生韭菜饺子(4 饥饿值 / 6.4 饱和度,营养价值 1.6)、熟韭菜饺子(6 饥饿值 / 12.0 饱和度,营养价值 2.0,虽然总数值略低于熟牛排,但性价比极高)。
    • 共 16 种饺子(猪/牛/鸡/羊/兔/鳕鱼/鲑鱼生熟各一款,热带鱼与河豚只有生的)。配方:6 小麦 + 2 韭菜 + 1 肉 = 3 饺子。
  • 💨 熏味效果:吃下任意韭菜食物获得。半径内(I 级 4 格 / II 级 6 格)的生物会立刻放弃追击并向外逃跑。这是实打实写进了怪物的逃跑 AI 里的(类似于原版苦力怕躲避豹猫的避险机制),它们还会顺带忘掉对你的仇恨。(已驯服宠物、创造模式玩家、凋灵/末影龙等不受影响)。
  • 🧪 酿造:粗制药水 + 韭菜 = 熏味药水 (90秒);加红石可延长时间,加荧石可强化到 II 级;支持喷溅型与滞留型。
  • 💰 村民交易:
    • 农民(新手):约 35% 概率用 1 绿宝石出售 6 根韭菜。
    • 农民(学徒):约 30% 概率用 10 根韭菜收购 1 绿宝石。
    • 流浪商人:约 30% 概率用 3 绿宝石出售 1 个韭菜捆;约 25% 概率用 1 绿宝石出售 2 个随机饺子。
  • 🏠 装饰与收集:可合成的韭菜捆方块、盆栽、专属音效、12 个进度、独立创造页、内置中英双语。

📦 安装说明

  • 需要 Fabric Loader + Fabric API。
  • 支持 1.16.5 与 1.21.1,请下载对应版本,两个不要同时装。
  • 单人/服务端均可使用(装到服务端时,客户端也需安装同款)。
