Seasons and Farming

Intro

RLCraft utilizes a seasons mod called Serene Seasons, which modifies how and when farming can take place. The Reskillable mod puts farming behind a level barrier as well.

Farming

Farming has two primary requirements.

Seasonal Icons in Serene Seasons

1. The proper farming level must be reached in order to plant and harvest the crop. This is displayed when hovering over a seed or attempting to harvest the crop.
2. The crop can only grow given it is the proper season to grow said crop. An exception is with certain biomes such as tropical biomes and snowy biomes which can only grow summer and winter crops respectively. This can be bypassed by constructing a greenhouse (described below).

Seasons

Seasonal Clock crafting recipe.

Seasons have 3 stages: early, middle, and late. Each stage is 7 days long, making each season 21 days long. All of this determines temperature which also determines growing season and how hot it is outside.

The seasons provided by Serene Seasons have a corresponding clock which can be crafted. This is helpful when determining what crops to plant when not using a greenhouse

Like many items in minecraft, the seasonal clock functions in an item frame.

The Greenhouse

A greenhouse is a block that allows crops to grow in any season, and regardless of any circumstances that the crops experience (such as light level, water accessibility, etc...). A greenhouse must be constructed using the special greenhouse block. Any other glass block will not function in RLCraft. The ideal placement for glass is 1-5 blocks above the crop (that's 7 blocks in height INCLUDING the Dirt Block AND the Greenhouse Block). A greenhouse will function without walls as well, as the only important factor is whether or not the greenhouse block is above the crop. Greenhouse blocks only affect the crops directly underneath (not the ones to the sides), but a maximum of 3 Dirt-Crop layers can be placed under 1 Greenhouse Block.

Note: Greenhouse blocks only allow crops to grow under ANY circumstances, however, it will not allow the crops to grow any faster, therefore factors like water accessibility, crop placement patterns, light level, etc, will still be important for the crops to grow as fast as possible. In other words, it's possible for the crops to grow painstakingly slow even under greenhouse blocks.
