Reap

🌾 Reap

Farming without the busywork. Right-click a grown crop and it's harvested and planted again. Swing a better hoe and the whole field around you is reaped in one sweeping wave.

No more breaking, picking up and replanting crop by crop, and no more fields full of holes.
Server-side only. No resource pack, no mods, no dependencies. Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur and Folia, 1.20 → 26.x.

✨ Features

🖱️ Right-click harvesting

• Right-click a fully grown crop to harvest it. The drops pop out and the crop is replanted on the spot.
• Works on wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, nether wart and cocoa. Cocoa stays on its side of the jungle log.
• One seed is taken from the drops for the replant, so you never lose seeds from your inventory.
• Unripe crops are left alone, so a misclick can't ruin a fresh field.
• Fortune works. A Fortune III hoe gives the same extra drops as breaking crops by hand.

🌊 Hoes reap a whole area, in a wave

• With a hoe in hand, every grown crop around the one you click is harvested too, spreading out ring by ring like a wave through the field.
• Better hoe, bigger area. By default: stone/iron/copper 3×3, gold/diamond 5×5, netherite 7×7. Each tier is configurable, with an optional Efficiency bonus.
• Works on slopes and terraces: crops a block above or below are included.
• Sneak to harvest just one crop.
• The hoe loses 1 durability per swing, not per crop, and Unbreaking is respected.

🎋 Sugar cane, cactus and bamboo

• Right-click any part of a column and everything above the bottom block is cut, so it grows back on its own.
• Hoes cut every grown column in their area too.

🛡️ Farmland that stays farmland

• No more trampling. Jumping players and wandering mobs can't turn your farmland back into dirt.
• Players and mobs can be set separately. reap.trample.bypass lets chosen players trample anyway.

✨ Feels good to use

• A crunchy crop sound with a little pitch variation, block crumbs, and green sparkles where a crop is replanted.
• An action bar summary after every harvest: +24 crops · Wheat ×31, Wheat Seeds ×12.
• Optional auto-pickup (drops go straight into your inventory) and optional XP per crop.
• /reap stats counts every crop you've ever harvested.
• /reap toggle lets each player turn it off for themselves. The setting is kept across restarts.

🤝 Plays nicely with other plugins

• Protection plugins are respected. WorldGuard, GriefPrevention, Lands, Towny, Residence and friends are asked first, so nobody can harvest a field they can't build in.
• Every harvested crop counts as a broken block, so Jobs, quests, logs (CoreProtect) and McMMO-style plugins keep working.
• Folia native, with the wave running on the region that owns the field.
• Per-world: whitelist or blacklist worlds.

🧑‍💻 For developers

CropHarvestEvent (cancellable) fires for every crop, after protection plugins have agreed. Change the drops, stop the replant or cancel it.

@EventHandler
public void onHarvest(CropHarvestEvent event) {
if (event.getBlock().getType() == Material.WHEAT) {
event.getDrops().add(new ItemStack(Material.BREAD));
}
}
