Farm & Breeding Planner
Plan crop farms by growth rate and light, animal breeding cooldowns and food items, and villager profession job sites.
Growth/breeding timers are random-tick or standard-tick approximations from well-documented vanilla mechanics — actual results vary by random tick speed and light conditions.
