How can I create a Farming Game with Minecraft mods?

Imagine creating your own farming game in Minecraft, where players can plant, grow, and harvest fruits and vegetables! You can even add farm animals, tractors, and more. Let's explore how you might design this fun and exciting game with Tynker.

d. Test your code and if necessary, manually add or remove blocks to make sure everything looks right.

(Optional) Create New Fruits and Vegetables

Polishing and Tweaks
