Farmland

Farmland is a block on which seeds can be planted and grown. It is produced by tilling a Grass, Pressed Dirt, or Dirt block with a hoe. After tilling the grass block or dirt block, the top layer of the grass or dirt will be removed.

Hydration
Farmland turns Hydrate when it is placed within 5 block range of a Water source. However, if not hydrated, it will turn back into normal dirt.

Crops can be grown on Hydrated Farmland.

Farming
Farmland is required to grow the six crops currently in game: Wheat, Pumpkin, Melon, Potato, Carrot, and Beetroot. Melon and Pumpkin blocks don't need to be on farmland, however, their seeds need to.

Trivia

 * If the player jumps onto a farmland block, the block turns into dirt and any crop growing on it will be harvested.


 * In 0.9.0, going further than 20,000 blocks in any direction would cause all blocks to turn into farmland with growing Wheat Seeds. This was fixed in Update 0.9.4.
