FAQ

FAQ

How long does wheat take to grow?

Wheat needs 7 growth stages; in alternating hydrated rows it averages about 23 minutes.

Why does layout matter?

Crops grow faster when alternating with empty rows, because each plant gets more random-tick chances.

Does nether wart need water?

No: nether wart grows on soul sand and ignores farmland and water.

How many stages does beetroot have?

Beetroot has 3 growth stages and matures in about 10 minutes.

Can I speed up growth further?

Bone meal instantly advances one stage; the wiki-style timing here assumes no bone meal.
