Auto-Replant With Hoes #
Harvest crops using a hoe and they will automatically replant.
Supports:
- Standard crops
- Nether wart
Great for keeping farms tidy and reducing repetitive replanting.
Stonecutters Cause Damage (Farm Tip) #
Stonecutters deal damage when entities come into contact with them.
Why this matters:
- Useful as a controlled mob-kill method
- A good alternative to entity cramming, which is discouraged on Beacoland
- Helps keep farms efficient and lag-friendly
Tip: For mob farms, consider controlled kill chambers (stonecutters, fall damage, lava blades) instead of stacking entities in one space.
Player Interaction & Movement #
Sitting, Laying & Crawling #
Sit, lay down, crawl, or even ride other players — for fun or utility.
How it works:
- Right-click stairs or slabs to sit
- Use
/sitor/lay - Crawling: look down and double-press crouch
- Laying down also removes insomnia
- Toggleable via
/toggles
