How to Use Minerals to Speed Up Plant Growth

Mineral Catalysts for Agriculture

Mining expeditions frequently yield excess minerals that end up sitting idle in storage chests. Under the Croptosis mod, minerals can be brought back to the surface and used as growth catalysts to push vegetable and plant growth beyond standard natural rates.

Applying Minerals to Farmed Plants

To utilize your mined resources to stimulate your garden:

1. Retrieve your gathered minerals from storage after returning from underground.

2. Walk through your farm rows where immature vegetables or plants are growing.

3. Hold the mineral in your active hand and target the specific crop you wish to stimulate.

4. Interact with the crop to apply the mineral directly to the plant.

5. Observe the accelerated growth spurt. Continue applying minerals across your plots to bring your crops to harvestable maturity.

Using minerals as catalysts allows players who prefer mining over mob hunting to maintain fast-producing farms without ever needing to rely on bone meal.
