Configuration

Every option — the file is config/cultivation.json, created with defaults on first launch and hot-reloaded with /cultivation reload. With Mod Menu and Cloth Config installed, every option is also editable in-game from a settings screen. design/SPEC.md carries the full behavioral detail behind each one.

Turning enableSoilFertility off freezes the soil system — farmland behaves exactly like vanilla and stored soil data is retained untouched. enableNonFarmlandSoil=false reverts just the two off-farmland crops (sweet berries, nether wart) to vanilla and leaves farmland soil untouched. composterProducesFertilizer=false restores vanilla bone-meal output. enableScytheHarvest=false reduces scythes to ordinary single-block tools. enableRightClickHarvest=false returns a bare-hand right-click on a crop to vanilla. enableBroadcastSowing=false reduces the iron rake to an inert tool, leaving off-hand seeds to plant one block the vanilla way. enableVillagerStewardship=false returns farmer villagers to the fully vanilla work task; enableVillagerFertilizing gates both Fertilizer pickup and dosing and is inert unless enableFertilizer is also on.

Client config

Key	Type	Default	Range	Description
`showSoilOverlays`	bool	`true`	—	Render the tired/exhausted soil overlays. Toggling it in the config screen applies to loaded chunks immediately — no rejoin needed

`showFatigueTooltips`	bool	`true`	—	Show fatigue lines on food tooltips
`showNutritionTooltips`	bool	`true`	—	Show hunger/saturation on food tooltips (deferred to AppleSkin when present)
