To begin farming, a player needs good [[soil]] and seeds to plant crops. A specialized tool, the [[hoe]] is required to convert soil into farmland.

=== Naturally Generated Soil ===
Four types of naturally occurring [[soil]] exist in the world at different fertility rates: barren 5%, low 25%, medium 50%, and high called '''terra preta''' 80%. Soil retains its fertility levels when blocks are gathered and placed elsewhere, so a good farming strategy is to hunt soil with high nutrient levels and bring it home.

'''Compost''' is a player generated soil type with nutrient levels of 65%. This dirt is an alternative farming option if terra preta cannot be located. Each block of compost is created by sealing 64 [[rot]] in a [[barrel]] for 20 days.

=== Creating Farmland === <!--T:21-->
Using a [[hoe]] + right mouse button on a soil block creates dry farmland. The farmland must be within 3 blocks of a water source block to convert from dry to moist farmland. The other solution to create moist farmland is daily watering using a watering can. Farmland blocks ''cannot be picked up and replaced'' once converted. Breaking farmland destroys the block.

=== Soil Nutrients ===
=== Soil Nutrients === <!--T:7-->
<!--T:7-->
All soil, dirt, dry or moist farmland, has 3 nutrient levels, N, P, and K. Each crop consumes one of these nutrients. Some crops require higher values of nutrients than others, as shown in the table below. Crop growth rates also differ. Each crop has different total growth speed, which is shown by the number of growth days.

Nutrients in farmland slowly replenish over time and return to the maximum level per soil type. (Ex: Medium fertility will only regain nutrients to original levels). The rate of nutrient replenishment is slower with a crop, faster when empty, and even faster when one of the three different fertilizer types are applied to the soil, saltpeter, potash, and bone meal. Using a fertilizer is the only time a soil type can exceed the maximum nutrient level of the soil type.

'''Fertilizer''' such as [[saltpeter]], [[potash]] and [[bonemeal]] can be applied to the soil to replenish nutriments. Using a fertilizer is the only time a soil type can exceed the maximum nutrient level of the soil type.

* Required Nutrient - The type of nutrient (N, P, K) consumed from the farmland when a crop grows to the next stage.

* Nutrient Consumption - The total amount of the required nutrient that will be consumed over the lifetime of a crop.
* Nutrient Consumption - The total amount of the required nutrient that will be consumed over the lifetime of a crop.
* Cold/ Heat Resistant Until - Temperature range the crop can endure before it takes damage and then will yield less harvest on breaking. Generally all crops are able to keep growing only above 0°C. They might be able to endure lower temperatures without damage, but will not be able to grow under such circumstances.
