Berries are a wild-grown plant that can be harvested for edible berries, which provide fruit satiety . There are a variety of different berries that can be found in the game.

Obtaining

Berries are found as wild-growing berry bushes. Berry bushes cannot be propagated, grown or farmed, though the berry bush blocks can be broken and replanted on soil blocks. The fertility of the soil they are placed on has no impact on their ability to grow and produce berries. Berry bushes can also be stacked on top of each other. They cannot be planted in a flowerpot.

Berry bushes can be found in nearly all biomes, except for the extreme arctic or desert biomes. Red currant, black currant and white currant bushes can be found in temperate biomes, while cranberries and blueberries can be found in colder biomes. Blueberries tend to spawn in forest areas.

Berry bushes go through three stages: empty, flowering and ripe. Berry bushes take between 8 and 9.6 days to go from empty to flowering, and 8 and 9.6 days to go from flowering to ripe. Once the berries are ripe they will die and the bushes will return to being empty after 32 to 38.4 days. Berry bushes only ripen in spring, summer and autumn; even in a greenhouse , berry bushes will not ripen in winter. Berries are harvested from ripe berry bushes, which does not break the bush. Fully mature bushes yield multiple berries when harvested.

Berries may also be sold by the agricultural trader .

Cultivation

  • Berry bushes can be broken with the Left mouse button with a bare hand. You can transport them in your inventory and plant them near your house.
  • Berry bushes can be planted with Right mouse button on any type of soil, gravel or sand.
  • You can plant a red currant, white currant or black currant bush on top of another of those bushes to create higher bushes. But the maximal height possible is only 2 blocks.
  • You do not need to till the soil with a hoe to plant berry bushes.
  • Berry bushes do not require watering.
  • Berry bushes can be placed in Greenhouses to benefit from the 5°C bonus[1].
  • Cranberries provide less satiety than other berries, but have double the fresh time than others.
  • The game selects a random amount of time between 8 and 9.6 days for the berry bush to both flower and ripen.
  • The game will divide the random amount of days by the crop growth rate configuration when determining how long flowering and ripening will take.
  • Once both the flowering and ripening stages are finished the berries will appear, ready to be harvested with Right mouse button.
  • Once berries become ripe the game will pick a random amount of time between 32 and 38.4 days before it will reset the bush back to empty. This number is not affected by the crop growth rate configuration.
  • Berry bushes can be trimmed with shears with Right mouse button. After harvesting the berries, the berry bush will return to its original look and you will need to trim it again if you want to maintain its trimmed look.

Usage

Berries may be eaten without cooking. All berries provide 80 satiety when eaten, except for cranberries which provide 60 satiety. They may be used for advanced cooking , to create porridge and meat stews as a secondary ingredient. Berries can be preserved with honey by turning it into jam .

Berries decay rapidly, which makes preservation difficult. However, this short freshness timer, and the potential ease of collecting berries, means they may be purposefully gathered and left to rot to create compost .

Berries may also be juiced in a fruit press , and berry juice can further fermented and distilled into alcohol . Fermented berry juices produce berry wines, and can be distilled into berry brandy.

Some berries may also be used to produce dyes . Blueberries and black currants can be used to create purple dye, while cranberries can be used to make pink dye.
