🌱 Getting Started

1. Obtaining Seeds

To start farming, you need seeds for the custom crops.

  • Craft: Use Arkenstone to combine seeds to new seeds in the Advanced Crafting Station.

  • The Market: You can usually buy seeds from the server market or a specific farming merchant NPC.

  • Wild Grass: Breaking tall grass has a rare chance to drop custom seeds.

2. Planting

Planting custom crops is similar to vanilla Minecraft but with a twist.

  • Soil: Most crops need Farmland (tilled soil).

  • Watering: Unlike vanilla crops that just need water nearby, custom crops often require daily watering.

    • The soil might dry out if not watered, pausing growth.

    • Use a Watering Can (see below) to keep them hydrated.


💧 Watering & Equipment

Keeping your crops hydrated is the key to a good harvest.

Watering Cans

You cannot just use a bucket. You need a specialized Watering Can.

  • How to Fill: Right-click a water source to fill the can. You will see a durability bar or message indicating how full it is.

  • How to Use: Right-click your crops to water them.

  • Tiers: Better watering cans (Iron, Gold, Diamond) hold more water and may water a larger area (e.g., 3x3) at once.

Sprinklers

Automate your farm with Sprinklers!

  • Place a sprinkler in the center of your field.

  • It requires a water source (often a cauldron or tank nearby) to function.

  • It will automatically water crops within its radius, saving you time.


🍂 Seasons & Greenhouses

Crops may be sensitive to the time of year.

Seasons

  • Some crops only grow in specific seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter).

  • If you plant a "Summer" crop in "Winter," it will die or refuse to grow.

  • Check the seed lore (hover over the item) to see its required season.

Greenhouses

Want to grow crops year-round? Build a Greenhouse.

  • Glass structures can create a controlled environment.

  • Crops planted inside a valid greenhouse area ignore seasonal requirements, allowing you to farm winter crops in summer.


🚜 Harvesting & Pot/Trees

Harvesting

  • When a crop is fully grown, right-click or break it to harvest.

  • Quality: Some crops have "Quality" stars (⭐). Better fertilizer and care can yield higher quality crops that sell for more money.

  • Regrowth: Some crops (like tomatoes or berries) might regrow after harvesting without needing to be replanted.

Trees & Pots

  • Fruit Trees: You can plant saplings that grow into custom fruit trees (like Apple or Orange trees). Right-click the ripe fruit to pick it without cutting down the tree.

  • Pots: Some decorative or smaller crops can be planted in Pot blocks for aesthetic farming inside your house.


💡 Tips for Success

  • Fertilizer: Use custom fertilizers to speed up growth or increase the chance of high-quality drops.

  • Crows: Watch out! Crows or pests might attack your crops. Scarecrows act as a defense.
