v0.9.6-BETA

New Villager Farming Restrictions

• Introduced a new villager section in Config.yml to control how farmer villagers interact with GrowthModified crops.
• These settings offer more control over automated villager farming and ensure villager actions respect your growth modifier rules:
  • villager.require_hoe: When enabled, villagers will not receive crop drops. This effectively disables villager-based farming for GrowthModified plants.
  • villager.destroy_farmland: When enabled, farmland is converted into coarse dirt after villagers harvest GrowthModified crops. Players must re-till the soil to replant.
  • villager.disable_composter_interaction: When enabled, villagers will no longer fill composters with collected seeds or crops.

⚙️ Configuration Changes

Config.yml:

• 🆕 Added:
  • villager.require_hoe
  • villager.destroy_farmland
  • villager.disable_composter_interaction
• 🔼 Bumped config-version to 9

🐛 Bug Fixes

• 🌳 Fixed an issue where DARK_OAK growth modifiers were incorrectly applied to OAK trees.
• 🥔 Fixed a config error caused by incorrect material names like POTATOE, which previously worked but aren't valid Minecraft materials.
