Four different types of naturally occurring [[Soil|soil]] exist in the world at different fertility rates: barren, low, medium, and high (called "terra preta"). Each has according starting levels of nutrients: 5%, 25%, 50%, 80%. Soil retains its fertility levels when blocks are gathered and placed elsewhere, but farmland blocks are destroyed if you attempt to remove them by breaking. Compost is a player generated soil type, each block is created by sealing 64 rot in a barrel for 20 days. Compost has nutrient levels of 65%. | |||

Farmland can be made by using a [[hoe]] on soil. This will create dry farmland. Crops will not grow on dry farmland. The dry farmland must be within 3 blocks of a water source block for the farmland to convert to moist farmland. The other solution to | Farmland can be made by using a [[hoe]] + right mouse button on a soil block. This will create dry farmland. Crops will not grow on dry farmland. The dry farmland must be within 3 blocks of a water source block for the farmland to convert to moist farmland. The other solution to create moist farmland is daily watering using a watering can. | ||

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 you can cause a soil type to | Nutrients in farmland slowly replenish over time and return to the maximum level per soil type.
