Croptopia Mod — Guide
Getting Started
To begin your journey in Croptopia, you must first gather seeds and essential ingredients like salt.
Obtaining Seeds
In modern versions (1.18+), crops can be found growing naturally in the wild. You can collect them by right-clicking the mature plant. In older versions, seeds are obtained by breaking tall grass in specific biomes.
The Croptopia Guide Book
If the Patchouli mod is installed, you can craft the Croptopia Guide to view all recipes in-game. * Recipe: 1x Vanilla Book + 3x Any Croptopia Crop/Seed.
Salt and Water
Salt is a fundamental ingredient for many recipes. It can be obtained in two ways: 1. Mining: Salt Ore spawns in river and ocean biomes, appearing in clusters similar to clay or gravel. Mining it with a shovel yields salt. 2. Smelting: Craft a Croptopia Water Bottle (1x Water Bucket + 3x Glass Bottles) and smelt it in a furnace to produce Salt.
Ground Crops
Ground crops are found in various biomes across the Overworld. They can be planted on tilled soil (farmland) and harvested by right-clicking once fully grown.

|---|---|
| Plains | Barley, Bell Pepper, Broccoli, Cabbage, Corn, Cucumber, Green Bean, Kiwi, Lettuce, Mustard, Oat, Soybean, Strawberry |

Growing Your Own Trees

Ingredients and Mechanics
Many recipes require intermediate ingredients that must be prepared beforehand.
- Flour: Crafted by grinding Wheat, Barley, or Oats in a Mortar and Pestle.
- Dough: Combine Flour with Water or Milk in a Mixing Bowl.
- Butter: Made by processing Milk in a Food Press or Cooking Pot with Salt.
- Cheese: Created by cooking Milk with Salt in a Cooking Pot.
- Olive Oil: Produced by putting Olives into a Food Press.
- Tofu: A vegetarian alternative to meat, crafted from Soybeans.
Right-Click Harvesting
Croptopia implements a "Right-Click to Harvest" mechanic. When a crop or fruit is fully mature, right-clicking it will drop the item and reset the plant to its initial growth stage, removing the need for constant replanting.
