Crops

Each crop has a climate class. A crop grows only when the air suits its class. Outside its range, the crop stops growing. It does not die.

Crop climate needs a temperature mod. Without one, crops grow as in vanilla and as the season mod allows.

Crop Climate Classes

Class	Grows when the air is	Shipped crops
hardy	Above −5 °C	Sweet berries
cool_season	0 to 26 °C	Carrots, potatoes, beetroots, cabbages, onions
temperate	Above 2 °C	Wheat, and every crop without a class
warm_season	Above 8 °C	Melons, pumpkins, sugar cane, tomatoes, rice
tropical	Above 18 °C	Cocoa

Cabbages, onions, tomatoes and rice are from Farmer’s Delight. The tags list them as optional.

Giving a Crop a Class

Add the crop block to the class tag, data/townstead/tags/block/crops/climate/<class>.json:

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": [{ "id": "examplemod:chili_pepper_crop", "required": false }]
}

A crop in no class tag gets a class from Serene Seasons’ crop tags when they list it:

Serene Seasons tags	Class
Winter, or year-round	hardy
Summer only	warm_season
Spring or autumn, not summer	cool_season

Otherwise the crop uses crop_default_class (temperate).

To add a class or change a range, use crop_climate in need/temperature.json. See Climate Settings.

Which Temperature Counts

Townstead compares the class range with the day’s mean air at the crop, not the reading at this moment. A single cold night does not stop a field. The day’s mean includes the season, the biome and altitude, but not the day and night curve or the weather.

Inside a room, Townstead uses the room’s air temperature instead. A glass room with a heat source works as a greenhouse.

Season Mods

A season mod decides when its crops grow, and Townstead does not change that. When a season mod says a crop is out of season, the crop does not grow, even if the air suits it. Townstead never makes an out-of-season crop grow.

The temperature check applies on top of the season mod. It also applies with no season mod. In that case, warm-season crops do not grow in cold biomes and on high mountains.

Bone meal still works on a crop that has stopped growing.

Farmers

Before a farmer plants a seed, Townstead checks two things:

• The season mod allows the crop now. For Serene Seasons, Townstead uses its fertility rules, including its greenhouse glass.
• The crop’s class suits the air now and in 3 days.

As autumn cools, farmers stop planting warm-season crops before the frost. When every seed a farmer has is out of season, the farmer’s status shows Out of Season.
