The ender crop has 8 growth stages. Harvesting it at any stage will drop Ender Seeds, at the 8^th stage it will drop 1-2 Ender Pearls and sometimes an extra seed.

On farmland:

• Follows vanilla Minecraft growth rules, but at 50% the rate of wheat.
• Requires light level < 7 to grow (redstone torch).

On tilled end stone:

• Follows vanilla Minecraft growth rules at the same rate as wheat.
• Requires any light level.
• 1 in 50 chance to spawn an endermite on harvest. (configurable).

• Ender seeds can be found in dungeons and are as rare as golden apples. (configurable)
• They can also be crafted by surrounding wheat seeds with 4 ender pearls:

To obtain tilled end stone you simply right-click regular end stone with a hoe that has been enchanted with Unbreaking I or a hoe-like tool (AIOT, Kama, Scythe) with mining level 1 (Stone).

Why I made the mod:

I came upon the idea while playing the RyRyPatPatPackPack (R2P4) for MC 1.8.9 which, at the time, didn’t have ExtraUtils2. Needing to go to the End I first tried hunting endermen, but there were few and the Progressive Mobs mod didn't make it easy to survive at night. So out of frustration (mostly because I'm really good at getting killed) I made the Ender Crop mod.
