Profession Guide
Farming
Grow custom crops, maintain productive fields and supply ingredients to Cooking and Alchemy.
Overview
Farming is built around custom crops and field care. Vanilla crops still work normally and give a small amount of Farming XP, while custom crops and specialist tools unlock as you level.

Stage 3Field Tools & Bonuses
Most Farming unlocks improve field care, harvesting or replanting rather than simply multiplying crop output.
Composting
At Level 3, profession Compost can boost the next three custom crops on a farmland tile. Rich Compost covers a 3×3 patch and gives a stronger growth boost. Ready composters can provide profession Compost, and custom crop produce can be used as compost input.
Regular: ~50% stage time • Rich: ~35%Crop Rotation
From Level 9, switching between different crop types within the rotation window awards a small Farming XP bonus.
Foraging
From Level 10, naturally generated grass can reveal Alchemy herbs. The normal find chance is 4%, improving to 7% at Level 30.
Watering Cans
The Iron Watering Can unlocks at Farming 16 with 8 charges; the Steel Watering Can unlocks at 24 with 24 charges. They affect custom crops only, store water on the physical item and spend a charge plus durability on successful use.
Bountiful Harvest
A restrained chance for +1 custom produce unlocks at Level 20 (5%) and improves at Level 26 (10%).
Sickles
At Level 29, Sickles harvest mature custom crops in an area: Iron is 3×3 and Steel is 5×5. Protected or invalid crops are skipped.
Seeds & Replanting
Mature custom crops can recover planting stock. Progression improves that chance slightly, while Green Thumb can automatically replant a harvested crop by consuming the correct planting item.
Specialist Farmer
At Level 30, eligible higher-level custom crops gain a restrained faster-growth chance and the Foraging find chance reaches 7%.
Vanilla Crop XP
Vanilla crops keep their normal Minecraft growth rules. Mature harvests simply award a smaller amount of Farming XP.
