More crops being hardy

[gufferdk 7]

I have read on the wiki that carrots, garlic onions and cabbage are "hardy" (being able to survive cold conditions while still young). Based on IRL-experiences i think that more crops should be like that. I am especially talking about wheat, rye and possibly barley. IRL both wheat and rye and some but not all types of barley have to be sowed in the autumn and harvested the following summer meaning that thay can survive a winter while still young. I therefor think that this should be added as it would improve the believeability.

Let me tell you that I do agree with you, for I confirmed recently planted wheat and barley can resist winter

Resurrecting the topic

 

Could you please add one crop, which will be hardy and allow gathering by right-click, without destroying?

 

Reason: on multiplayer servers where builds are protected by e.g. Towny, people sometimes make free food plots near spawn. Unprotected area around spawn is usually emptied from food, sticks, rocks, so such small gardens help newcomers to survive first days on server. Currently berries and fruit trees suit this greately. With fruit trees it is even possible to let people harvest branches - planting trees at the edge of protected area. It would be nice to have at least one possibility with vegetables. It is not always possible to have server spawn at equator. Even in close areas harsh winters happen and crops die.

To keep balance the crop could give small yield.

Right-click harvesting of crops has actually been removed in 79. All crops are harvested by destroying.
