How to Find and Gather Starter Crops

Searching for Wild Crops

To start farming with Croptopia, you must first gather wild crops and seeds scattered across your world. The mod introduces 58 ground crops and 26 tree crops that spawn in natural environments.

• Wild Bushes: Explore various biomes—including forests, plains, and deserts—to find wild crop bushes growing on the surface. Break these wild plants to obtain your initial food items and planting seeds.
• Grass and Ferns: If you are exploring plains, swamp, savannah, forest, or taiga biomes, you can also obtain starter seeds simply by breaking standard tall grass and ferns.
• Wild Fruit Trees: Watch the tree canopy in lush forests and plains for wild fruit trees growing distinct, harvestable tree crops on their branches.

Planting and Harvesting Your Garden

Once you have acquired seeds or wild produce, you can establish an organized farm:

1. Prepare farmland near water using a vanilla hoe.

2. Plant your ground crop seeds onto the tilled soil.

3. Allow the crops to grow to full maturity.

4. Rather than breaking the crop, simply right-click the fully grown plant to harvest your yield. The plant stays rooted in the ground so it can regrow without needing to be replanted.
