Set Up Your First Farm at Riverdrift Manor

Finding Suitable Farmland

The river banks around Riverdrift Manor provide natural clearings ideal for farming. Look for flat, open areas on either side of the manor where sunlight reaches throughout the day. Avoid planting directly on the manor's floating platforms, as water access is limited there.

Preparing Your Farm Plot

Clear grass and small vegetation from your chosen area using a wooden or stone tool. Dig channels from the river to your farmland—water will flow naturally downhill and hydrate your crops. Create rows of tilled soil by right-clicking with a hoe. Space your rows about two blocks apart to allow easy walking and harvesting.

Planting and Growing Crops

Plant seeds (wheat, carrots, potatoes, or beetroot) into your tilled soil. Crops grow faster when hydrated by nearby water blocks. The river's proximity means you won't need to build elaborate irrigation systems. Plant a variety of crops to ensure food diversity for your survival playthrough.

Protecting Your Farm

Consider building a simple fence around your farmland to prevent mobs from trampling crops at night. The manor's existing storage areas are perfect for keeping harvested food organized and safe.
