Growing and Harvesting Farmer's Delight Crops

guide

Farmer's Delight expands upon farming in Minecraft, introducing new crops and methods for obtaining their seeds and produce. This guide will detail how to acquire new seeds, cultivate these crops, and efficiently process them.

Obtaining Seeds and Produce

Several new items can be processed to yield seeds or other useful resources. The create:milling process is a key method for this.

The create:milling process has 8 distinct recipes:

Sea Beet yields Beetroot Seeds.
Wild Cabbage yields Cabbage Seeds.
Wild Carrot yields 2 Light Gray Dye.
Wild Onion yields Magenta Dye.
Wild Potato yields 2 Purple Dye.
Rice Panicle yields Rice.
Wild Rice yields Rice.
Tomato Shrub yields Tomato Seeds.

Some produce can also be obtained through other means:

Rice can be obtained from a Rice Panicle or Wild Rice through create:milling. It can also be crafted shapelessly from a Rice Panicle or a Bag of Rice.
Tomato Seeds can be obtained from a Tomato Shrub through create:milling, or crafted shapelessly from a Tomato.

Automated Crop Production

For automated farming, the immersiveengineering:cloche offers a way to grow certain crops. This block has 4 recipes for producing specific items:

It can produce 2 Cabbage.
It can produce 2 Onion.
It can produce 2 Rice Panicle.
It can produce 2 Tomato.

Processing Rice

Rice is a versatile crop in Farmer's Delight.

Rice Panicle can be crafted shapelessly into Rice.
Wild Rice can be processed via create:milling to produce Rice.
A Bag of Rice can be crafted shapelessly into Rice.

To store Rice more compactly, nine Rice Panicle can be crafted into a Rice Bale. Conversely, a Rice Bale can be crafted shapelessly back into a Rice Panicle.

What the mod adds to growing

Farmer's Delight is 225 pages across 141 items and 84 blocks, and its farming side feeds a preparation chain rather than standing alone: 106 cutting board recipes and 28 cooking pot recipes are what your harvest turns into.

Planting decisions should follow that. A crop with several board conversions is worth more space than one with a single use.

Cross-mod farming machines

Four categories in the recipe list are farming automation borrowed from other mods: Cloche (4 recipes), Crusher (8), Milling (8) and Squeezer (2). They appear only when those mods are installed.

A pack with Immersive Engineering can therefore grow this mod's crops in a Garden Cloche, and a pack with Create can mill them — neither is a feature of Farmer's Delight on its own, which is why guides disagree about what is automatable.

Composting and fermenting

The Fermenter and Filling categories carry one recipe each, so they are narrow tools rather than systems. Do not build a production line around either.
