Snad - Re[FORGE]d
If you have ever wished your crops would grow faster without waiting through endless in-game days, Snad - Re[FORGE]d is the add-on you need. This remake of the classic Snad mod by TheRoBrit brings redstone-powered farming to modern Minecraft, combining ideas from DarkMorford's Just Another Snad Mod into a single, updated package. Whether you are a casual farmer or a technical player building automated farms, this mod changes how you approach crop growth.
What Is Snad - Re[FORGE]d?
Snad - Re[FORGE]d introduces three special blocks: Snad, Red Snad, and Soul Snad. These blocks accelerate the growth of compatible crops when they receive redstone pulses. Unlike the original Snad mod, this version only increases growth rate upon redstone pulses and does not boost crops placed on top without a signal. The mod author made this choice for two reasons: most players were already powering their Snad with redstone anyway, and the alternative implementation proved unreliable across different Minecraft worlds.
Out of the box, Snad - Re[FORGE]d for Minecraft supports cactus and sugar cane on both Snad and Red Snad, while Soul Snad handles nether wart. Each redstone pulse gives a percentage chance to add a growth stage, so crops grow at an inconsistent but overall faster rate compared to vanilla farming. Because the mod uses random number rolls instead of game ticks, your harvests will feel less predictable but ultimately more productive.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Snad - Re[FORGE]d was originally built for Minecraft 1.16.5 using the Forge mod loader. The mod was created with MCreator, which makes it accessible for players who want a straightforward installation experience. If you are running a 1.16.5 Forge modpack, this add-on fits right in without requiring complex configuration.
For players who want the smoothest setup possible, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install option that handles Snad - Re[FORGE]d and its dependencies automatically, so you can skip manual file placement entirely.
How to Install Snad - Re[FORGE]d
Installing this mod follows the standard Forge procedure. Here is how to install it step by step:
- Download and install Minecraft Forge for version 1.16.5 if you have not already.
- Download Snad - Re[FORGE]d from a trusted mod repository.
- Place the downloaded .jar file into your Minecraft mods folder.
- Launch Minecraft using the Forge profile and verify the mod loads correctly.
Once installed, you can craft the Snad blocks and begin experimenting with redstone-powered farms. Remember that static redstone current will not work. You need pulses, so set up a redstone clock or repeater system. If your clock is far from the Snad, place a repeater in front of it because signal strength affects whether the block receives the pulse.
Special Features and Modder Support
Snad - Re[FORGE]d goes beyond basic crop acceleration. Any block placed on top of Snad that is not a liquid will break instantly as if mined without Silk Touch. Logs drop logs, coal ore drops coal, and glass drops nothing. Gravel has a chance to drop flint, making this an extremely fast flint farm if you spam-place gravel on top of Snad blocks.
For modders and modpack creators, the mod includes block tags for compatibility. You can make any block crop compatible with Snad and Red Snad by adding the tag "forge:snadable". Single-tile bonemealable crops work with Soul Snad using the tag "forge:soulsnadable". This means your custom crops can benefit from the mod without any code changes.
A SNEND block combining Snad and Endstone is planned for a future release alongside the author's upcoming plants and crops mod. Nether wart currently skips straight to maximum growth due to a workaround, resulting in a slower overall rate, but other Soul Snad crops will grow one stage at a time.
Why Use Snad - Re[FORGE]d?
This mod is perfect for players who want faster crop growth without abandoning redstone mechanics. It rewards technical builds and offers creative farming opportunities. The instant block-breaking feature adds an unexpected utility for flint farming, and the modder-friendly tags encourage community expansion. Anyone can use this mod in modpacks without asking permission, so it integrates easily into existing setups.
If you are looking for a classic Snad experience where crops grow without redstone, other versions exist. But if you want a modern, Forge-ready take on the concept with unique mechanics and active development, Snad - Re[FORGE]d delivers exactly that.
