How to Get Corn and Corn Kernels in Simple Corn

Breaking Corn Blocks

Corn grows as a Corn block. Break a mature Corn block to obtain Corn Kernels. Kernels are your planting item and the base for several recipes, so harvest every Corn block you find rather than leaving it standing.

Planting and Replanting

Place Corn Kernels on farmland to start a new Corn block. Once the block matures, break it to get kernels back and repeat the cycle. Keep a stack of Corn Kernels set aside for replanting before you use them in cooking.

Turning Kernels Into Ears

Combine Corn Kernels in a crafting grid to produce an Ear Of Corn. The Ear Of Corn is the intermediate item used in the mod's food recipes, so convert kernels into ears whenever you want to cook rather than plant. If you only need kernels for planting, skip this step entirely.

What Each Item Is For

• Corn Kernels — planting and crafting into Ear Of Corn.
• Ear Of Corn — ingredient for the mod's cooked foods.
• Corn — the block you break to get kernels.

Stockpile both kernels and ears: kernels keep your farm running, ears feed you. A small plot of Corn blocks broken on rotation gives a steady supply of both without any extra tools.
