Farming Food

This mod now changes how plants, crops, and saplings are grown in Minecraft by now making them required to have a source of natural sunlight to grow. This is to add agriculture immersion and a bit more realism into the game.

Torches and other light sources no longer provide light for crops to grow aswell.

Mod update now features configurable slower crop growth speed! May have some incompatibilities with modded crops and plants that uses different ticking systems.
