Wet rice cultivation and silk production

[Zarathustra]

I have an Idea for a mod: wet rice cultivation. In the real world, rice is first grown on normal soil and then replanted into water. Maybe there could be a mod that adds a rice variant that when harvested normally (or that uses the vanilla rice's harvest) yields rice saplings, that then have to be replanted in 1 block deep water, and then give a high yield of rice and rice straw.

Another thing that could be added is silk production, where you cultivate silk moths, which lay eggs, that you then have to boil to get silk thread.

Both these mechanics should be fairly simple to implement with the current game mechanics.
