Crops grow over time, and if you look close enough, you can even watch it grow !! LITERALLY !!
The crop can be planted by using a Juicy Berry (more info on berries bellow) on a grass or dirt block ! All the crop needs is a decent amount of light, and ground to grow in ! Berries must be collected from bushes by harvesting them, and leaving the bushes intact. (right click to harvest). This will reset the bushes’ growth to 8000 (from 24000 for fully grown)
A tiny bush-crop takes about 1 day/night cycle to fully grow ! This process can be sped up by using different kinds of ‘Fertilizing’ methods !
- First and most popular fertilizing method is Bone Meal. Use bonemeal on a crop to make it grow by about 5-10 seconds ! You’ll need aproximatly a full stack of bonemeal to grow a crop from freshly planted to fully grown.
- Second method is rather weird, but not as expensive. The 3 blocks under the block on which the bush grows can be used as Fertilizing space ! Dirt, clay and endstone can be used to speed up the growth rate !
Here’s a few player grown bushes with harvest ready berries !
and a very cute bush-crop, freshly planted !
For unadventurous players
your bush grows on dirt/grass
every space filled with dirt (up to 2) will add 0.2 to the growth rate (basic growth rate is 1.0)
< +0.2
< +0.2
a clayBlock on 3th place (even with air on places 1 and 2) will add 0.5
< +0.2 Clay can be combined with dirt !
< +0.2 Clay can be combined with dirt !
< +0.5
putting a stone (any rock type block) in the first available spot will make it grow slower and stop the chain of checking any other blocks
< – 0.2
putting endstone on the first spot will break the chain too, but will give you a whopping growth bonus !
< +5.0
