Growing Plants in Minecraft






Farmland

Many varieties of plants require Farmland to grow on. Farmland is made by removing dirt or grass blocks with hoes. Farmland looks similar to dirt, however the block isn't quite as tall.






Farmland that is left unplanted for too long, or is jumped on (by mobs or players) will be reverted to dirt.





Irrigation

Farmland within 4 blocks will be irrigationally or "hydrated" when it has water. Most crops grow better on irrigated farmland than on dry.





Lighting

The majority of crops require light to grow. If you plant them outdoors they will grow during the day, but when you add more light they will grow at night too.



You must provide artificial light to grow your crops indoors and underground.








Bone Meal

Bone Meal can be fertilised to boost the growth of many crops. Bone Meal is made from bones of skeleton and can be added to your crop by right clicking.








Wheat

Wheat is the most common crop that you can cultivate.








Seeds

The first thing you'll need is

seeds

These can be made by breaking down long grass blocks. You'll also get more seeds after you harvest your wheat, which means you only need a few seeds to begin with.





Planting your first crop

First , make a hoe.






...and prepare some soil next to some water. Plant your seeds and then wait for them to develop. To ensure that your crops are growing at night, place a torch near them so they are ready for harvest sooner.






This is how your first wheat farm appear.



Make Bone Meal if you have bones and fertilize your crops. Two applications are usually enough to fully ripen your wheat. If not, you'll need to wait.



It's ready when it's golden:






You will receive the wheat item which can be used to feed cows or sheep and even more seeds when you harvest your wheat. You will be able to plant a larger farm the next time!





Larger fields

One block of water will provide irrigation to 80 blocks of farmland:






TIP:place an lily pad on the water to prevent you from falling in while harvesting or replanting your wheat.



TIP: You can harvest wheat faster by pouring water on your field. However, replanting has to be done block-by-block.





Melons and Pumpkins




Melons can be used to make potions and can be a valuable food source. They are not edible, but they can be worn as a helmet to protect against Endermen. You can also make Jack'o'Lanterns from pumpkins. This light fixture with a decorative design is used to create snow golems.





Seeds

The seeds of pumpkin and melon can be found in chests in mine shafts, dungeons, and abandoned mines. Sometimes, pumpkins are found wild while melon seeds could be available from NPC villager.



You can make melon and pumpkin seeds from melon slices or pumpkins.





Planting

Seeds are to be planted on

farmland

You should water them regularly. The plant will eventually develop into a melon or pumpkin plant, which takes between 10 and 30 minutes to do so. Worst lies Once the plant has grown and mature, the pumpkin or melon will appear next to it on a farmland or dirt block.



Apply bonemeal to boost the growth of the plant. The seed must be planted on farmland, the fruit will be seen on farmland, dirt or grass. - after harvesting, the plant will produce another fruit every 1-30 minutes. The plant is able to only produce one fruit at any time. The most effective tool for harvesting pumpkins is an axe, but melons can be harvested using any tool.





Farm Layouts

There are many ways to lay out your farms; here are two suggestions:








Lily Pads




To stop melon slices from falling into the farm's water put lily pads on top.





Carrots and Potatoes




Carrots and potatoes are sometimes dropped by zombies; they can also be found in NPC villages.



Growing them is like growing wheat, but there aren't seeds. Place carrots and potatoes in the field. If you can, make sure to keep them hydrated. Wait. The process can be made faster by using bonemeal. When you harvest your crops, you will get back more than you originally planted.



Both carrots and potatoes can be consumed raw. However, it's better to bake the potatoes before eating them.





Beetroot




Another crop that can be located in the villages is beetroot. When you harvest beetroot, you will get both Beetroot and Beetroot Seeds, which can be replanted.



Beetroot can either be eaten raw or transformed into Beetroot Soup. You can also make Rose Red dye from it.





Cocoa Beans




Cocoa beans can be found in dungeon boxes or on trees in the wild. You can grow them by planting them on the side or on a Jungle Wood log. Just like other plants, they grow through several stages and, when they are ripe, you can harvest them.








Nether Wart




Nether Wart is only found in Nether Fortresses However, once you have some, you can grow it in any location. It can be grown in Soul Sand and harvested once it is fully grown.



It doesn't require light however it isn't accelerated by bone meal. It can only be grown it in soulsand, not in regular dirt.
