Maximize Ore Production with Multiple Pots

Scale Your Farm

Since each pot takes one minute to grow ore, you can stagger multiple pots to create continuous harvests.

Organize by Ore Type

Group pots by the ore you're farming. This makes it easier to track which pots are ready and to replant efficiently. For example, dedicate a row to iron, another to gold, and another to copper.

Stagger Planting Times

Instead of planting all pots at once, plant them a few seconds apart. This spreads your harvests across the minute, so you're collecting resources more frequently rather than in one large batch.

Automate with Hoppers (Optional)

Place hoppers below your pots to catch harvested items automatically. Connect hoppers to chests for storage. You can also use hoppers above pots to auto-feed seeds and soil blocks if your setup supports it, though manual planting is often simpler.

Monitor Growth

Keep an eye on pot indicators. Harvest as soon as growth completes to free the pot for replanting and maintain steady production.
