+Crops - more farming crops mod for minetest

+
+This minetest mod expands the basic set of farming-related
+crops that minetest_game offers. A list of crops/crafts is
+below.
+
+1. Melons
+
+Melon plants grow from melon seeds. Once a plant is mature (there
+are 5 stages) it will spawn a melon block adjacent to the plant.
+The melon block can be harvested by punching, and yields 3-5
+melon slices. The melon slice can be crafted to a melon seed.
+
+2. Corn.
+
+Corn plants are 2 blocks high, and yield corn cobs. These can be
+cooked to corn-on-the-cob, or processed to make corn seed (corn
+kernels, basically).
+
+Digging a mature plant yields the corn cob. A harvested corn plant
+"wilts", and needs to be dug away to make the land usable, or can
+be left as ornamental 2-block plant. Digging either top or bottom
+block works in all cases.
+
+3. Tomatoes.
+
+Tomatoes appear to work simple enough, until you harvest them
+the first time: The plant stays! However, after the 3rd to 5th
+harvest, the plant wilts and needs to be removed, since no more
+tomatoes will grow on the plant. Per harvest you can get 1-2
+tomatoes only. You can craft the tomatoes to tomato seeds, as
+expected.
+
+4. Potatoes.
+
+The plants themselves don't drop anything. Only if the plant matures
+can you dig potatoes from the soil. If you can reach the soil from the
+side you can save yourself one dig by digging the soil as that will
+remove the plant from the top, but otherwise you need to dig twice:
+once to remove the plant, once to dig out the potatoes.
+
+You get 3-5 potatoes. Each potato gives one (set of) "potato eyes"
+which are the clones that can grow back to potatoes. Be careful not
+to dig the plant when there's flowers! You have to wait until the soil
+below shows potatoes. It's fairly easy to see the difference, though.
+
+5. Green Beans
+
+These green beans are unnaturally green, but there's so many
+of them that grow on a vine! Sadly, these beans don't grow beans
+unsupported, so you stick some sticks together to make a beanpole,
+something like this way:
+
+empty empty empty
+stick empty stick
+stick empty stick
+
+There, that should help the viney bean plant to grow to 2 meters
+high. It has remarkable purple flowers, that pop all over the plant
+just before the beans grow.
+
+Sadly, once the beans are picked, this plant turns into an unusable
+mess that makes it hard for the next plant to grow on the beanpole,
+so you salvage the beanpole's sticks after harvesting in order to
+make more beanpoles again. It's a bit of work, but worth it, these
+beans are delicious!
