Overworld Farming (old)
🌱 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.
