📋 About This Mod
Description
Allows you to harvest all crops and forage using the scythe. They can also still be plucked, without having to press a toggle button (though this can be disabled in config.json). Unlike other 'harvest with scythe' mods, this patch does not affect your save game. So it is possible to revert to the old behavior by simply removing this mod.
Config
- [] HarvestWithSword: Whether a sword can be used instead of a scythe. Default = false.
[] HarvestAllForage: Whether the scythe should work too on forage not above tilled soil. Default = true.
[] PluckingScythe: Whether you can still pluck plants with a scythe equipped. Allowed values: NEVER, INVALID (only if the scythe cannot harvest it), ALWAYS.
Valid values for the following settings are: NONE (crop cannot be harvested at all), HAND (only pluckable), IRID (vanilla behavior), GOLD (harvestable with golden scythe) BOTH (both pluckable and scythable), SCYTHE (only harvestable with any scythe). Note that NONE is only useful when using the Generic Mod Config Menu to change this setting in-game.
-
[] PluckableCrops: How crops that normally can only be harvested by hand can be harvested. Default = BOTH.

[] Forage: How forage can be harvested. Default = BOTH.
