How to Start Farming Corn, Cucumber, Lettuce, Onion and Pepper

Getting the Seeds

Corn Seeds, Cucumber Seeds, Lettuce Seeds and Pepper Seeds are your entry points into plant-based cooking. Break Grass blocks to obtain them the same way you would gather wheat seeds. Once you have a seed, plant it on farmland.

Each seed grows into its matching plant block: Corn Plant, Cucumber Plant, Lettuce Plant, Onion Plant and Pepper Plant. Harvest the mature plant to collect Corn, Cucumber, Lettuce, Onion and Pepper. These vegetables feed directly into salads, soups and sandwiches later.

Scaling Your Farm

Plant several of each crop rather than one. Corn, Cucumber, Lettuce, Onion and Pepper are all consumed by multiple recipes, so a single plant will bottleneck you quickly. Keep a stack of each vegetable in a chest near your kitchen area.

Onion and Pepper also feed into cooked dishes, so reserve part of your harvest for cooking rather than eating raw. Once your plots are producing steadily, you can move on to Dough, Bread and sandwich assembly without stopping to forage.
