Farming and Flora in Rustic Mod 1.12.2,

Rustic introduces several new crops, trees, and herbs that are used in food, brewing, and alchemy.

Crops and Stakes

Many of Rustic's crops require Crop Stakes to grow. To use them, place a stake on tilled soil and plant the seed against the stake.

• Tomatoes: Grow vertically up to three blocks high on stakes. Seeds are found by breaking tall grass.
• Chili Peppers: Grow similarly to tomatoes. Seeds are found by breaking tall grass.
• Grapes: Require Ropes to grow. Grape seeds (found in grass) grow into a vine that spreads horizontally along ropes placed above them.
• Wildberries: Found in bushes in colder biomes. They can be eaten or used in brewing.
• Ironberries: Dropped from Ironwood tree leaves. They are bitter but useful for alchemy and crafting the Almanac.

Trees

• Olive Trees: Found in plains and forest biomes. Olives can be harvested from the leaves and used to produce Olive Oil.
• Ironwood Trees: Found in various forests. Their wood is dark and sturdy, and their leaves drop Ironberries.

Herbs

Herbs spawn naturally in specific biomes and are the primary ingredients for Alchemy.

Bees and Apiaries

Beehives can be found hanging from trees. Breaking them yields Bees and Honeycombs.

• Apiary: A block used to house bees. When bees are inside, they produce Honeycombs and Beeswax over time. They also speed up the growth of nearby crops
• Fertile Soil: Crafted using Bone Meal, Dirt, and Sand. It does not require water to stay hydrated and speeds up crop growth
