Minecraft 1.12.2

Harvestcraft 1.12.2a

LWJGL 2.9.1

Forge 1.12.2-14.23.1.2555

Liteloader (snapshot) which is the only version available for 1.12.2

Bug report by different user for older version with the same issue located at: #44 which is marked closed.

How the issue was reproduced:

• clean install of 1.12.2

• installed latest version of Harvestcraft with no other mods.

• Villagers will pick up crops with harvestcraft installed but not liteloader.

• Villagers will pick up crops with liteloader installed but not harvestcraft.

• Villagers will not pick up crops with both of them installed at the same time.

Liteloader was installed because some useful hud mods required it:

Yes, it is a problem with LiteLoader, there's a couple other problems it causes too. Various crops don't drop anything but seeds being one of them when right-clicking, and unable to harvest trees because they require right-clicking to harvest.

In Theory, mods for Lite Loader only can be made for Forge by changing the extension (.litemod to .jar)

EDIT:
As I said, In theory. I tried to do it but it didn't work, although Forge loaded correctlly it didn't get the mod into the Mod directory.
