VO: Agrarian Reform

[2.1.0-26.2] - 2026-07-05

• Universal Growth Multiplier:
  • Implemented the global_growth_multiplier GameRule (Integer, default 100), allowing server administrators and players to globally scale the growth rate of all plants.
  • Ticks are modified proportionally without altering the actual server tick rate (TPS):
    • 0 stops growth ticks entirely.
    • 1-99 represents a percentage chance to let a growth tick execute (canceling ticks to slow down growth).
    • >100 executes the growth tick multiple times per random tick (e.g. 200 represents 2x speed by running randomTick twice).
  • Broadly targets vanilla and modded crops, Sugar Cane, Cactus, Nether Wart, Cocoa, Vines, Saplings, and Sweet Berry Bushes.
• Ticking & Performance Optimization:
  • Created a dedicated utility class GrowthHelper to handle tick calculations and crop filtering, adhering to strict Mixin isolation standards.
  • Mixed into BlockBehaviour.BlockStateBase.randomTick at HEAD to intercept random ticks globally and efficiently before they delegate to specific block implementations.
  • Implemented block state identity checks between consecutive accelerated growth runs to prevent ticking blocks that have already grown, changed, or been broken.
