Plant Registry and Crop Types

🌿 Plant Registry & Universal Crop Auto-Population

Agrarian Reform features a zero-configuration Universal Crop Auto-Population Engine (AgrarianCropRules.java) powered by an $O(1)$ fast-fail identity cache. Any vanilla or third-party modded crop is automatically discovered, registered for offline Continuum simulation, and granted dedicated GameRule multiplier tuning without requiring manual datapack configuration.

🔍 Dynamic Crop Discovery & Classification Engine

Whenever a block is ticked, loaded, or inspected, AgrarianCropRules evaluates the block using a 3-tier inspection pipeline:

🌾 Multiplier Resolution & Frozen State Hierarchy

Every crop's effective growth speed is calculated on-demand:

public static int getEffectiveGrowthMultiplier(Level level, Block block) {
    Identifier id = BuiltInRegistries.BLOCK.getKey(block);
    // 1. Check world-specific GameRule
    GameRule<Integer> dynamicRule = DYNAMIC_GAMERULES.get(id);
    if (dynamicRule != null && level instanceof ServerLevel serverLevel) {
        int val = DynamicGameRuleManager.getInt(serverLevel, dynamicRule);
        if (val > 0) return val;       // Positive override
        if (val == -1) return 0;       // -1 = Frozen (0% growth)
    }
    // 2. Fall back to Global Multiplier
    if (level instanceof ServerLevel serverLevel) {
        return DynamicGameRuleManager.getInt(serverLevel, AgrarianGameRules.GLOBAL_GROWTH_MULTIPLIER);
    }
    return 100;
}

🔄 Runtime Discovery & Mod Removal Resilience

1. Mid-Game Dynamic Discovery:

   • AgrarianCropRules hooks into random ticks, Continuum chunk loading sweeps, and block interaction events.
   • When a previously unregistered modded crop is loaded or interacted with mid-session, it is discovered on-the-fly, registered into the $O(1)$ block cache, and given a dynamic GameRule with zero reload latency.

2. Mod Removal & Zero-Crash Safety:

   • Dynamic crop rules and caches rely strictly on standard Minecraft Identifier strings (namespace:path) rather than direct compiled class types.
   • When a crop mod is uninstalled, AgrarianCropRules.isCropBlock safely ignores missing blocks, producing 0 ClassNotFoundException or NoClassDefFoundError crashes.
   • If missing blocks exist in saved chunk palettes, Vanilla replaces them with air/fallback blocks, while the corresponding GameRule remains dormant until the mod is re-added.

🏷️ Datapack Tag Integration (AgrarianTags)

Datapack creators can also explicitly declare custom crops via standard conventional tags (#c:crops / #minecraft:crops) or the dedicated #agrarian_reform:continuum_plants tag:

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": [
    "#minecraft:crops",
    "#c:crops",
    "farmersdelight:cabbage",
    "farmersdelight:tomatoes",
    "farmersdelight:onions"
  ]
}
