Minecraft – How to quickly level the crops

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-mods

I'm playing the regrowth mod pack right now, and I'm working to get better seeds. Normally, in packs using AgriCraft, I use a setup like this with the watering can:

Typical crop leveling system

Which will very quickly cause the seeds to spread and create better versions very quickly, using a random but rounded-up average of the results, typically. This works well if you have a watering can, but this pack doesn't have Extra Utilities, so I don't have a watering can to increase growth ticks.

How can I quickly or at least easily level my crops?

Best Answer

There are no easy ways to increase the growth ticks in Regrowth, until mid/end game. So as a result upgrading crops takes time. This setup is for afk-ing, allowing the player to leave for a decent period of time and come back later to get the results.

Specifically in this pack weeds are disabled so you will not have to worry about them overrunning.

Using a setup that only allows crops to spread to one adjacent tile, it is easy to find the crop with the highest stat.

Setup:

S: Soil O: Other W: Water
 _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|S|O|S|S|S|O|S|
|S|O|S|O|S|O|S|
|S|O|S|O|S|O|S|
|S|O|S|O|S|O|S|
|S|O|S|W|S|O|S|
|S|O|S|O|S|O|S|
|S|O|S|O|S|O|S|
|S|O|S|O|S|O|S|
|S|S|S|O|S|S|S|

This is infinitely expandable, just increase the length or the number of the lines. Later in the pack you can have multiple farms going at once to max out your seeds much quicker.
