Now a lot of farming ideas have been made with also a Farm Mod somebody made...
But I want to give some ideas too that would not be a mod and would be probably in mincraft but simple...
Now the first thing I want to add is a New Fertilizer which has the same use as Bonemeal but has 3 uses instead of 1 for 1 Bone meal...
Now fertilizer is made by...well...Animal Poo :sleep.gif:
The new fertilizer is collected by putting it in a Sack...
The sack is made like this:
= Leather
So to make it simple the sack is made like a bowl or bucket..Just made out of leather...
Once a sack is Made you then can go around the world and look for animal poo :sleep.gif:
The Poo is only dropped by cows just like chickens randomly lay eggs..Just on a Block...
Now a Entire block would be covered by The Cow poo...
You then just go at the Cow Poo with your sack....Right click and you collected it!
Then you can go at your crops and use the Fertilizer 3 Times on the crops :biggrin.gif:
This is fairly a more simple way of collecting the going out and killing or waiting for skeletons to drop bones...
But Beware!
If you step on cow Poo the cow poo will disappear!
And if you are using the default skin and you stepped on it the will be some Brown Markings on your foot indicating you stepped on it :biggrin.gif:
Also stepping on Poo has a pro and con...
The Pro is that there is a 10% Chance that Hostile Mobs flee from you because you stink...
If you step 3 times in cow poo(Max) the chances will increase to 30%!
But the con is that Passive mobs will avoid you making it a bit harder to catch them...
Also when Notch adds villages with NPC's most people will try to avoid you...
To get rid of the Poo simply go in water and stay in there for 10 seconds...The Poo should go away...
Or you can simply die :biggrin.gif:
Now to some Crops:
There is already wheat that you get by planting seeds...
Now the 2 other crops I will talk about will have seeds as well but diffrent ones...
The seeds will look diffrent...
Now to not spoil whose seeds is whose I will tell them at the end :biggrin.gif:
The first new Crop should be TOMATOES!
Tomatoes are possibly the most helpful of the crops I will say about...
Now I will say the Cons and Pros about it and then tell some Misc details about it :biggrin.gif:
Cons:
-Tomato seeds are the rarest of all the seeds...
There is only a 25% Chance of it dropping..
-Tomatoes need 6 Days to fully grow and 3 Days to produce The Tomatoes...
-Tomatoes are 2 Blocks high.
-Also they need to be 5-7 Blocks away from water as being to far away will make it die and to close will make it to die too as it does not need as much water as the rest of the crops...
-Harvesting a Tomato will not give seeds...Just The Tomatoes...
-Also Tomatoes need sunlight to grow so it cannot grow underground...Only on sunlight but you may place them in a Glasshouse..It just needs sun to grow...
Now the cons may seem bad but it pays out :biggrin.gif:
Pros:
-Tomatoes can be harvested for 2 Tomatoes
-Since the Tomato is 2 blocks high you can harvest both tomato block and gain 2 Tomatoes.
-Eating a Tomato will give you 1 Heart but if you have a big Tomato farm you can use tomatoes as a good health source.
-Tomatoes are STACKABLE!
-Up to 64 that is :biggrin.gif:
-Also unlike other crops when you harvest a Tomato the tomato does not get destroyed!!!!
-I mean...Who would harvest it and Destroy it?????
-Also when A Tomato Grows for the 6 Days and is not 6 blocks away from water you will still be able to harvest it 4 Times(Each day 2 Times)and then it will die but hey..You got 8 Tomatoes from it :biggrin.gif:
-Also there is a 10% Chance that when you harvest a Tomato it will give you 3 Tomatoes instead of 2!
-Also there is a 20% Chance that once you eat a Tomato it will give you 1 Tomato Seed :biggrin.gif:
-Also tomatoes would act like Reeds/Suger Canes and when you go over them they will not be destroyed so there is no worry about losing them :biggrin.gif:
So tomatoes might be hard to start out with but later on when you get the hang of it they are pretty easy to go with and are very usefull at the same time :biggrin.gif:
So when you get a full stack of 64 Tomatoes they are much more usefull then 10 Cooked Porkchops that take away most of your inventory :biggrin.gif:
My Advice for Tomatoes:
If notch or somebody from Mojang likes my idea and Implants it in the Game here is a Tip from me...
Since Wheat can be 4 blocks away from water I suggest that you put wheat in that radius and behind them add the Tomatoes...This way you do not need to seperate them..Instead you can make a Big Farm all togheter!
Also tomato seeds can be found just like Wheat seeds...
They are found in tall grass..Also there seeds would look White as they would actually be..
Following on to the next CROP!
SEAWEED!
Seaweed is probably not a crop but lets just say it is...
Seaweed is unlike other crops an underwater crop...
Seaweed is randomly found underwater but in small groups of 3 Seaweeds..
Seaweeds do not have seeds..Instead when you punch them you collect the seaweed..
You can then eat it for 2 Hearts...
Now a group of 3 Seaweeds can all togheter give you 6 Hearts which Is pretty good...
Seaweed can also be replanted but needs to be in a water depth of 2 blocks for it to grow..
Now because seaweed does not have seeds it functions like mushrooms...They auto-Spread..
Now here are the Pros And cons!
Cons:
-They can only be found in a group of 3 and only have a 25% Chance To spawn underwater.
-They Need sunlight to actually grow..
-They Auto-Spread slower then mushrooms.
-There are also Bad Seaweeds.
Pros:
-They Auto-spread.
-You can make an easy farm with them and let them reproduce.
-If stepped on they will not destroy.
-They give 2 Hearts.
-And can be eaten once picked up :biggrin.gif:
-STACKABLE!
Seaweed can also be a great Health Source for you...
Even tough the auto-spread slower then mushrooms the more seaweed there is around eachother the auto-spreading will be a bit faster...
And they can give 2 Hearts!
Now as I said in the cons there are bad seaweeds...
Bad seaweed is seaweed that is not in water for a day..
So if you pick seaweed out of your seaweed farm and take them with and a day has passed they will become bad seaweed...
Bad seaweed will decrease your health by a heart if eaten but this is a rare chance as when a day passes the seaweed will also change colors when it turns..
From green it will become Brown and somewhat dry looking..
Now bad seaweed also has a good use...
For some Reason it has a Smell that attracts hostile Mobs...
So if you planet bad seaweed outside and the night comes...When hostile mobs start spawning they will come near the bad seaweed but its smell has a radius of 6 Blocks so any Hostile Mob that comes in the radius will slowly go near the bad seaweed..
This can be usefull to attract creepers if you need Gunpowder or skeletons if you need bones or arrows..
But the Bad seaweed will disappear after a day when it is on land..
And you cannot collect it again as the smell fades away and it becomes useless..
Also a Tip for a seaweed farm:
I would make a 10x10 Pool that is deep 2 or 3 blocks and put some seaweed in the middle and then let it reproduce..
P.S Seaweed is found at a water depth of 6 Blocks...Also if you make a seaweed farm at 6 Blocks the Seaweed will reproduce a bit faster then before...
But I recomend a 3 Depth as the Speed is Half and you can collect more seaweed before drowning...
PLEASE SUPPORT AND VOTE ON THE POLL!
P.S The crops would probably make the player a bit over powered so If I were you I would make the difficulty a bit higher :wink.gif:
You should probably wait for 1.8 to add suggestions to farming, as Notch is adding more farming options in 1.8.
