Farming

What Farming is
Farming in Blockheads is the deliberate herding of animals, and the deliberate planting of plants and trees (can also be done to attract animals). You can farm dodo birds, fish, donkeys, plants, or trees. You can make in-home farms or outside farms (animal farming works better outside).

Plants can be planted in dirt, sand and compost. Any plants can be planted in compost but dirt and sand have some restrictions. Any plant able to be planted in sand can be planted in black sand as well. Kelp must be planted underwater and can be planted on any solid block.

How to Farm
If farming mobs/animals, try outside-farming. Unlike in real life, animals can produce offspring alone. Crowding animals is most preferred if farming, but if keeping as pet keep in an enclosed area during nighttime or during rain. When daytime or sunny, keep in a large enclosed area so the animal can roam freely.

If farming plants (not trees), You can keep it in an in-home farm or outside-farm. Plants grow quicker but are less healthy in an indoor farm. A coconut tree can grow it's first coconut at about 12 game-days. Cherries grow their first cherry at about 34 game-days old, at 4-5 blocks tall. Apples have a mixed time of performance, but grow similar to oranges (by time) and mangoes (by time).

Farming in blockheads requires minimal maintenance or work. To attract certain animals without herding, certain plants or trees can be planted, such as planting carrots to attract donkeys, or apple trees for dodo birds. Once planted, allow the plant to grow normally, and when it's mature, numbers of the corresponding animal may spawn near it. Make sure to replant any dug up or despawned plants if you want the animals to keep spawning. You can also put items in a feeder to attract animals. It is suggested to use fence gates to keep animals contained.
