How to Harvest Crops and Collect Decorative Crop Leaves

Right-Click Crop Harvesting

Croptopia features a convenient harvesting system that avoids the need to break and replant crops repeatedly:

• Ground Crops: When your garden crops are fully grown, right-click them with an empty hand or tool. The ripe produce drops immediately, and the plant resets its growth cycle while remaining planted in the farmland.
• Tree Crops: When fruit on orchard trees reaches full size, right-click the crop leaves to collect the fruit. The leaves remain intact so additional fruit can grow later.

Collecting Decorative Crop Leaves

If you want to use the unique foliage of fruit trees for base building or garden landscaping, you can collect the leaves directly using shears:

1. Craft a pair of shears using two iron ingots arranged diagonally in a crafting grid.

2. Locate a wild or cultivated tree crop with leaves you want to collect.

3. Use your shears on the crop leaves. You can shear them at any growth stage.

4. Collect the decorative leaf blocks that drop.

*Note on Sheared Leaves:* Crop leaves cut with shears are purely decorative. Once placed, sheared leaves stop growing completely and cannot be harvested for food.
