🌿 CryoCrops | Next-Gen Farming & Crop Optimization Engine ⚡

A performance-focused farming optimization engine designed to deliver customizable plant growth, intelligent item handling, and smoother survival gameplay for modern Minecraft servers.

🚀 Core Architecture & Features

• ⚡ Dynamic Growth Engine: Customize growth intervals for supported crops, environmental plants, and saplings with precise timing controls.

• 🌾 Advanced Crop Management: Configure growth behavior for wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroot, nether wart, cocoa, melon stems, pumpkin stems, and sweet berry bushes.

• 🛡️ Integrated Farmland Protection: Prevent farmland trampling caused by players, mobs, and falling blocks.

• ⚙️ Granular Chunk Processing: Configure processing intervals, player-distance-based chunk tracking, and per-step chunk limits to balance performance and growth activity.

• 🔧 Flexible Configuration: Customize growth timings, module states, particle effects, pickup behavior, merging settings, and protection options.
