Features
General
Any saddled pig is a Pig Tractor, and can be steered with a Carrot on a Stick. Riding over fully grown crops will harvest them, and replant with available seeds. Holding a hoe of any kind in will till soil below the Pig Tractor, making the creation and harvesting of large fields much faster.
Tilling
A Pig Tractor can till grass blocks, dirt or coarse dirt. To use this feature, the player on the Pig Tractor must hold a hoe in their mainhand or offhand. Tilling soil also has a chance to extract loot items depending on the block tilled and produces a fully moisturized block of farmland.
| Grass Block | Coarse Dirt | Dirt | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item | Drop Chance | Item | Drop Chance | Item | Drop Chance | Item | Drop Chance | |||
| Brown Mushroom | 7.60% | Carrot | 0.35% | Gravel | 8.45% | Brown Mushroom | 5.29% | |||
| Red Mushroom | 1.46% | Beetroot | 0.35% | Clay Ball (1-4) | 5.63% | Red Mushroom | 3.24% | |||
| Bone | 1.46% | Golden Carrot | 0.23% | Bone | 1.41% | Bone | 3.24% | |||

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 |
