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 no matter the growth stage.

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 may used as a fruit cooking ingredient in stews, porridges, and pies, or cooked with honey to make 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 .

Storage

Like all food, pineapples benefit from storage in a cellar , and tend to benefit from storage in containers during cool weather. Pineapples can be stored whole or as pineapple slices. Whole pineapples can be placed on the ground as 3D models, 4 pineapples per block.

Jam has a long shelflife, especially in a sealed crock.

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.
• It's unclear whether the cause of crop death matters for the pity mechanism of providing a seed if the crop dies, no matter how immature the crop.
• Compare perish rates and satiety for the fruit vs the juice and the wine.
