Season farming: seed to harvest

Choose your ground#

Get a hoe from the camp farmer. A city plot requires ownership or building permission. In the seasonal wilderness, natural ground is protected: place your own dirt first, then till it outside the portal protection and other players’ claims. Your personal area also has prepared farmland.

Water before planting#

Keep the block above the soil clear. Still water within 4 horizontal blocks, at soil height or one block above, makes wet farmland when you till. Dry soil takes 1.5 times as long to grow a crop. Flowing water does not count as irrigation.

Plant, grow and harvest#

Plant one seed per crop. Growth continues while you are offline. Bone meal adds 30% of the wet growth period per use. A ripe harvest gives one produce item; harvesting early returns the seed. Harvesting clears the crop, so plant again for another cycle. Only the grower may fertilise or harvest a wilderness crop.

Fertility and bag space#

Planting uses daily fertility, and each area has a crop limit. Your personal area supports up to 256 crops and has its own one-plot fertility allowance. Leave space in the shared bag before harvesting. Buy seeds from the farmer or find occasional seed drops from eligible wilderness monsters.

Keep your farm safe#

The public seasonal map does not regenerate every Monday, but player-built ground outside valid claims is still cleared weekly, together with crops on it. Public farms also end when the map resets. Personal-area construction and crops are saved separately across seasons.
