gollark: Realistically there probably isn't.
gollark: If there's demand I could probably package this as an actual product. Maybe even with a block scanner so it can do targeted mowing.
gollark: At power 0.5, so it only damages grass and unlucky people.
gollark: Stick a turtle/manipulator/whatever in the middle of the field, and have it constantly fire lasers in random directions on the, er, XZ plane?
gollark: We don't need a lawnmower mod. Lasers are perfectly capable of mowing.
