Harvesting and Propagating Termite Mounds

Scouting and Digging Savanna Mounds

Termite mounds generate naturally in Savanna biomes, providing a concentrated source of insects and crafting resources.

1. Travel to a Savanna biome and scout the terrain for naturally generated mound formations.

2. Dig into the mound using your hand or tools to break it down.

3. Collect the resulting drops: adult termites, termite larvae, and Termite Clay.

Termite Clay gathered from these mounds can be processed at a crafting table to build decorative blocks such as bricks, stairs, and slabs.

Planting New Mounds Manually

Rather than continually traveling to find wild mounds, you can establish a localized colony near your base:

1. Place standard dirt blocks on the ground in an open area where you want your new mounds to stand.

2. Equip a termite larva gathered from a wild mound.

3. Use the larva on top of the dirt block to plant it.

4. Over time, it will develop into a fully formed termite mound on that dirt block.

5. Once fully grown, dig up the mound again to harvest fresh termites, larvae, and clay.
