Harvesting Efficiently Using Color Indicators

Planning Your Harvest Route

Before you start harvesting, scan your entire farm and mentally note where the green indicators are located. This helps you plan an efficient path that minimizes backtracking. If your farm is very large, divide it into sections and harvest one section at a time.

Prioritizing Your Crops

Always harvest green crops first—these are fully mature and won't improve further. As you work, yellow crops will gradually turn green and become ready. This prevents overripe crops from wasting and ensures you're always picking at peak ripeness.

Replanting Strategy

After harvesting a green crop, immediately replant the block with new seeds. The indicator will turn red again, starting the growth cycle over. By maintaining this rhythm across your farm, you'll have a continuous supply of crops reaching maturity. The color system makes it easy to see which areas need replanting versus which are still growing.
