Pineapples are a source of fruit nutrition. They're the only fruit that is cultivated via seeds. They cannot be eaten without a knife.

Obtaining

Small patches of pineapple crops can be found while exploring, in areas with the following temperature , precipitation , and forestation .

Parameter	Min. value	Max. value
Temperature	26	45
Rainfall	0.7	1
Forest	0.6	1

Chunks meeting these conditions have a 9% likelihood of generating 0-8 pineapple crops, which might include a mix of mature and immature crops.

Players starting in a default Temperate area will need to travel tens of thousands of blocks south to reach regions where pineapples are likely to generate.

Pineapple seeds cannot be purchased , or found in cracked vessels .

Cultivation

Mature pineapple

Pineapple crops tolerate temperatures 6 - 48°C. If the temperature drops below 6°C or exceeds 48°C, the pineapple crop will become “stunted” and begin to accumulate damage. Stunted pineapple crops will yield 50% of normal when harvested. If they accumulate enough damage to die from excessive cold or heat, pineapple crops will yield 50% of normal when harvested but the player is guaranteed 1 seed.<red>Line 223 of [BEFarmland.cs]</ref>

Pineapple crops consume 15 N (nitrogen) from the soil over 16 stages of growth. During stages 9-12, pineapple crops feed bees and butterflies . Pineapple crops take 6 months to mature, (54 days at default settings, assuming a growth rate near 100%. Low moisture or nutrient levels can significantly delay maturation.

Pineapples can be harvested by breaking the crop, no tool necessary. Each block of mature pineapple crops will yield 1 pineapple and 1-2 seed packets. Harvesting at stages 11-15 has a 99% chance of getting 1 pineapple but no seed packet. Harvesting before stage 11 has a 0% chance of getting any pineapples, and a 70% chance of getting 1 seed packet.

Usage

A pineapple cannot be eaten whole: it must be cut into pineapple slices by placing it in the crafting grid with a knife . One pineapple produces 12 pineapple slices. Pineapple slices are counted as fruit for cooking purposes. Pineapple slices can be used in meat stew and porridge, or cooked into jam . In meals, each pineapple slice contributes 120 fruit satiety , compared to 80 satiety when eaten raw. Pineapple slices can also be juiced, producing pineapple juice that can be fermented into pineapple wine .

Pineapples benefit from storage in containers during cool weather, or in cellars . They can be stored whole or as pineapple slices.

History

• As of version 1.18.10, pineapple is the only fruit crop (berry bushes and fruit trees are not considered crops).
• As of version 1.18.10, pineapple has the longest growth time of any crop.

Notes

• The "replaceable" value of a growing pineapple is 3000. The "replaceable" value of a harvested pineapple is 5000.
• Burns for 10 seconds with the capability of 600 degrees.
• Pineapple crops are likely subject to the pity mechanism of providing a seed if the crop dies to extreme temperatures, no matter how immature the crop.
