Farming

Grow custom plants in growstations, place berry bushes that keep producing, and sell what you harvest. Everything keeps growing while you do other things, even when you are offline.

Start farming in 6 steps

1. Craft a growstation

   In a crafting table, put a flower pot in the middle and 8 wheat seeds around it. You can only place a limited number of growstations, and skills can raise that limit.

2. Buy seeds

   Type /farm market. At level 0 you can grow Cucumber, Lettuce and Onion. Better plants unlock as your farming level rises.

3. Place it on your land

   Put the growstation down on your own claimed land so nobody else can touch it. Drag a seed onto the iron bars, or shift-click the growstation with a seed in your hand.

4. Add water

   Right-click the growstation with a water bucket. Plants use water as they grow, so top it up.

5. Wait

   The iron bars show the growing status. Anything blocking growth shows in red, such as the wrong temperature.

6. Harvest and sell

   Collect what grew, then type /farm shop to sell it. Every harvest gives farming XP.

The growstation holds up to 2,304 items. When it is full you cannot plant anything new until you empty it. To pick a growstation back up, sneak and break it, with no plant growing and its inventory empty.

What a plant needs

Every plant has a temperature and an environment it must be grown in, and the seed shows both in its description. The same information is in the /farm codex.

Temperature

Each biome has a temperature. Check yours with /farm temp, or look up a biome with /farm temp <biome>. A plant marked Any grows anywhere.

Environment

The environment is the kind of world a plant needs: the Overworld, the Nether or The End. You do not have to leave home for it. Custom items imitate a temperature or an environment anywhere you put them.

Temperament and traits

Plants have a temperament, and they can carry traits. Temperament only changes how a plant's traits treat players and mobs.

• Friendly: does not attack players, or passive mobs like cows, sheep and pigs.
• Normal: attacks anything except players.
• Aggressive: attacks anything, including players. Keep these on your own land.

A trait can help or hurt your plant. Once your farming level is above 35, traits can randomly mutate onto a plant when you plant it. See them all in the /farm codex traits tab. Most traits only work once the plant is fully grown.

Plants and bushes

There are 26 plants and 9 bushes. See every one, with its price, level and what it makes, on Plants and bushes.

• Plants grow in growstations. Some give you one harvest. Others keep producing an item every so often, up to a limit, and the items collect inside the growstation.
• Bushes are placed as a block and keep regrowing their berries and fruit for as long as they stand. They cost a lot to buy and what they make sells for less, but they need almost no work, so they pay off in the long run. You can place only a limited number, and skills raise that limit. Sneak to break one.
• Plants and bushes keep growing while you are offline. If you stay away for more than 28 days, your farm is put away and comes back on the next server restart after you log in.

Farming level and Elysium

• Every harvest gives farming XP. Each level unlocks more plants and bushes, and some custom items.
• Harvesting plants in growstations also gives Elysium. You spend Elysium on skills in the skill archive.

The farm market and shop

• /farm market sells seeds and bushes.
• The rotating market unlocks at farming level 15. It refreshes three times a day, at 00:00, 08:00, 16:00 server time. Regular items are 15% off, and some items only ever appear there. Stock is limited: 15 of each item, and 5 per player.
• /farm shop buys your harvest, and every item shows its sell price. Use /sell for everything else.

Skill archive

The skill archive is a structure that holds your farming skills. Craft it in a crafting table with a lectern in the middle, Tomatoes on the four sides and Lettuce in the four corners, then place it down in a spot with plenty of room.

Skills let you place more growstations and bushes, earn more XP and Elysium from growstations, raise the chance of trait mutations, add water capacity, and let rain fill your growstations. There are also skills for ordinary crops: right-click to harvest and replant, no crop trampling, bonus farming XP and a fortune bonus.

• It is free to reset your skills, and you get all the Elysium back. You can also break the archive and move it for free.
• Skills that cost a block of items, like coal blocks or redstone blocks, are permanent and cannot be refunded.

The archive has four levels. Levels 2 to 4 need a farming level, Elysium and some rare crops.

Custom items

Place these near a growstation to change its temperature, environment or growth speed. Each works within a range of blocks. To craft one, right-click a composter with any hoe, pick the item and make sure you have the ingredients and the level.

Farming tournaments

Staff run crop tournaments now and then and announce them on Discord. Harvest the crop of the day to take part: wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroot, sugarcane, melon, pumpkin, cocoa beans or nether wart. A boss bar shows the time left.

• 1st place: $10,000, 2nd: $6,500, 3rd to 5th: $2,500 each.
• Everyone who takes part gets 500 farming XP.

Farming fairly

• No AFK farming with tools, macros or autoclickers, and no bypassing the AFK kick.
• No lag machines. A big farm needs an off switch.
• No chunk loaders of any kind.
• Keep growstations on your own land. You can let friends help with /farm friends.

Commands

Farming also fits the Farmer job, which pays for harvesting crops and breeding animals. More ways to earn are in the money guide.
