Beginner Tips: Difference between revisions

* Till non-hydrated grass blocks for a chance of Wheat, Barley, Cotton and various Witchery seeds. Cotton isn't edible but you'll want lots of it anyways, for string and woven cotton.

* Pam's Harvestcraft Gardens - these can be broken for 2-3 random food item drops, or right-clicked to be picked up for replanting elsewhere. Gardens will slowly spread to nearby empty grass/dirt blocks until there are 5 or more gardens of the same type within 3 blocks. Pam foods can be converted into their seed form in a crafting grid and planted on tilled farmland. Must be within 4 blocks of water to till soil. Soybeans in particular are very versatile, substituting for both milk and meat in most recipes.

* Natura Berry Bushes - Blueberry, Raspberry, Blackberry and Maloberry bushes are found in the wild. Look for slightly lighter, brighter green spots on your map. The bushes can be broken and moved and grow up to three blocks tall.

* Fruit Trees - Pam's Harvestcraft adds edibles to some trees, which may spawn with one, two or three types of produce. Harvested tree produce can be crafted with an appropriate vanilla sapling to make a new fruit tree. Immature fruit nodes can be broken to drop their produce, but this is both very slow and permanently removes that fruit generating block. Two bonemeal will instantly grow both fruit and fruit tree saplings. Most fruit trees spawn in temperate to warm/humid biomes.

* Soft Mallet substitutes for juicer/press, knife substitutes for Cutting Board, GT mortars substitute for Mortar and Pestle, Rolling Pin subs for Baking Dish, though the Pam's tools are worth eventually upgrading to as they have unlimited durability.

* Foods that don't require any special tools beyond flint/wood include berry medley, beef wellington, raw meaty stew, the various salads, potato on a stick, and the various doughs/breads. GT dough recipe is easier since it doesn't require salt.
