Crops a farmer might tend

Villagers know Farmer’s Delight crops. Farmers buy them, the wandering trader sells the seeds, farmers plant them in their fields, and villages can come with a compost heap.

Villages

Compost heaps

The plains compost heap: Organic Compost and Rich Soil in a fenced pen beside a small shed.

Villages can generate a small compost heap among their houses, with Organic Compost and Rich Soil to take home. How often a building is a compost heap:

Village	Share of buildings
plains	about 5%
snowy	about 4%
savanna	about 5%
desert	about 4%
taiga	about 5%

Crops on village farms

Village farms grow young Farmer’s Delight crops between the vanilla crops, so a village is a good place to find your first seeds. Every kind of village gets some. Here’s the share of a farm’s plots each crop takes, on average:

Village	Farmer’s Delight crops
Desert	Cabbage about 22%, Tomato about 15%
Plains	Cabbage about 15%, Tomato about 11%, Onion about 7%
Savanna	Cabbage about 27%, Tomato about 19%
Snowy	Cabbage about 20%, Onion about 15%
Taiga	Cabbage about 17%, Tomato about 12%, Onion about 8%

In a plains village, for example, roughly 1 in 7 plots is a cabbage, 1 in 9 a tomato and 1 in 13 an onion. Break them to get something to plant at home.

Good to know

• Server owners can switch off the farmer trades, the wandering trader offers, the compost heaps and the farm crops separately in the config. All are on by default.
• Farmers’ prices go up and down with your reputation and demand, like their vanilla trades.
