Anybody knows what mod makes tilled soil get randomly un-tilled? Is there a config option for it? BTW my wheat farm is surrounded by fence, so mobs can't get in. I'm not jumping on it either.

Unconfirmed, but I believe it is blue slimes jumping up and down on the ground.

What mod-pack, which version - if it's Ultimate 1.4.7 it's a known bug which is fixed in 1.5

Perhaps lighting? I know of one time I played vanilla, not lighting your farmland with wheat on it caused it to untile. Unless that's the known bug b0bst3r mentioned.

first stop anything from jumping on it

second make sure there is either water nearby or there is something growing on it

that takes care of the vanilla mechanics

This happens alot with me on a custom 1.5 pack. I have put it down to mobs, spiders being my main culprit although blue slimes might be responsible. If you want to, setting up autofarms helps, especially MFR. MFR keeps its area tilled and you don't even need water. If by chances an area becomes untilled it will automatically re-till. You will be swimming in resources too so I doubt you will mind too much about one squares worth of productivity for one growth cycle. If automation is not your bag, then maybe you should upgrade your mob defences.

One of the things I appreciate most is that Dartcraft force mitts act as hoes. Saves you having to carry those things around your farm just in case.

I've witnessed the issue and it seems it's the blue slimers. Putting a fence around doesn't help as they can jump on top of the fence and get in. The only thing I've found that works is 2 fences stacked or a 2 block high wall.

Is there water close enough?

Yes, I have water within 4 blocks of all the farmland. I am using a custom pack (1.5). It has lighting. And it has fences, so if the blue slimes can jump over 1 block high fences then that is probably the cause.

Blue slimes can indeed jump over fences.

gotta be blue slimes, I had the exact same problem when blue slimes were just added.
it's very annoying to find a fix against it, the cheapest way is to just make bigger walls around you farms, and be sure there are no areas where they could spawn in

Could also add a TC3 Iron Golem and Wood Golem for extra fun ;-) That'll teach those slimes !
