This module allows players on pigs to quickly till dirt, or harvest and plant crops in a single pass.

Features

How to use

Any saddled pig is considered a Pig Tractor. To steer the Pig Tractor a Carrot on a Stick may be used. Holding a hoe of any kind in the main- or offhand enabled the "Tilling" feature.

Tilling

A Pig Tractor can till grass blocks, dirt or coarse dirt. To enable this feature, the player on the Pig Tractor must hold a hoe in their main- or offhand. Tilling soil has a chance to drop loot depending on the block tilled and produces a fully moisturized block of farmland.

Harvesting

Pig Tractors will automatically harvest crops when driven through. Upon harvesting, the Pig Tractor will try to replant the crop - provided the player has seeds for the crop in their inventory. If the player does not have seeds for the harvested crop type in their inventory the Pig Tractor will fall back to the default planting rules (see below).

Planting

When a Pig Tractor is driven over empty farmland it will try to plant crops from the player's inventory. Pig Tractor will prioritize seed-like items that are in the players mainhand over seed-like items that are in the offhand. If the player is not holding any seed-like item in their hands, the Pig Tractor will use seed-like items from the player's inventory instead.

Technical Details

If a player is not holding a crop type in their main or off hand and has multiple crop types in their
inventory while planting crops on empty farmland, then crops will take priority in alphabetical order based on their item id:

Beetroot Seeds

Carrots

Potatoes

Wheat Seeds
