1.8.9 Potato hitbox

[TheOfficialFoxxx]

I have a vertical potato farm and I am using 1.8.9 but the hitbox is too small so I cannot use the farm I heard that you can use a mod called patcher and give the crops 1.12 hit boxes but when I have it enabled it doesn't do anything does anyone know if there might be something I'm doing wrong or another way to be able to use my vertical potato farm in the garden without swapping version, Thanks!
