Minecraft farming is a great way to make sure you have plenty of food and resources at your disposal. In this guide, we’ll explain all the different crop types, where to find seeds, and how to plant each type so you can get the most out of your farms.
How farming crops works in Minecraft
To start farming, you’ll need some seeds and dedicated farmland. Most seeds won’t grow in regular dirt, so you’ll need to do some work to it before you can start a farm. It’s best to protect your designated farm plots with a fence to keep out any unwanted mobs.
How to make farm plots
First, craft the hoe tool, which allows you to turn dirt blocks into farmland. You can then place most types of crops in the game in these blocks of land. You’ll also need a water source, but you don’t need a lot to water the crops. One block of water will hydrate a 9×9 section of farmland when you place the water in the center square.
