BeginnerFarms
Crop farming basics, then an auto farm in Minecraft
Villages grow Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes and Beetroots.
×39 Tested 26.3 The Potato is a crop you plant directly: put one on farmland and it grows into a potato plant that gives several back. Raw it is a poor meal, but baked it becomes one of the best early foods.
It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It can be composted: each one has a 65% chance to add a layer to a Composter.
What it does
A raw potato restores a single hunger point. A Baked Potato, cooked in a furnace, smoker or on a campfire, restores five with good saturation, as much as cooked cod, so a potato field and a furnace go a long way.
Mature potato plants drop one to four potatoes, more with Fortune. Now and then a harvest also includes a Poisonous Potato, which is better composted than eaten.
Pigs follow you and breed with potatoes, and village farmers plant them. Zombies occasionally drop one, villages store them in their houses, and a novice Farmer buys them for emeralds.
