First, I'm sorry if this was suggested before. Ok, let's begin!

1.Changes

-Berry bushes: Berry bushes should be a lot more rare in non forested areas and slightly more common in forested areas(This would add more realism, since that's how it is IRL). Berry bushes should also be farmable. If you put a berry in a crafting grid you would get the respective seeds for that berry. You would then place the seeds on dirt and it would take a while for a berry bush to grow.

-Crops: It never made sense to me why seeds when planted instantly turned into a plant. So, when seeds are planted they stay seeds for a while and then sprout. Also, the time it takes for crops to mature should be lengthened.(To be more balanced with the longer day night cycle).

-Cotton: Flax should be replaced by cotton plants which would give you 2 to 3 balls of cotton when harvested and could be used to make cotton blocks. Some recipe and uses as wool.

-Trees: I don't know if this would be hard to code but, trees should grow extremely slowely over time. Starting from a sappling and then turning into a small tree(See my othere suggestion about small trees) and then a short tree, etc. Fruit Trees would also not develope fruit until mature, and fruit trees should not have as many peices of fruit in the leaf texture. Additionaly, they should drop fruit similar to conkers.

-Mushrooms: Mushrooms should simply be able to grow in higher light levels.

2.Additions

-Scythe: a scythe would be a new tool made at a normal crafting table or hobbit crafting table that would be used to harvest more than one peice of wheat(1-3).

-Plows: Plows would be made from seperate parts; the plow front, the handles, and the harness. You would then be able to attach a plow to a cow, mule, donkey, or horse and steer it in a straight line. You could trun at ninety degree angles and every adjacent block would turn into tilled soil.

-Finite water: Unless the water is in a river, lake, pond, or 2x2 water source then water would dry up and would have to be refilled.

-Animals: It doesn't make sense to me that two cows with uters could have a baby, so I propose... Animal genders! I know this is alreday true for animals like deer, but not for farm animals. For example: male cows would have horns and no uters and female cows would sta the same.

-Random crops: occasionaly you should be able to find random crops such as potatoes and carrots growing in forests.

That's about it, hope you enjoy!
