Farmer

A class dedicated to farming crops and cooking food.

Farmer is Era's most beginner-friendly class. The act of farming crops is similar to vanilla Minecraft but with reduced chances of drops. Leveling up in this class primarily increases how much yield a player gets from harvesting crops and also unlocks new cooking and crafting options along the way. Farmer class XP is earned from a wide range of regular farming actions like punching crops and cooking food, each worth a different amount depending on the action.

General Mechanics

New Foods

A handful of new food and drink items have been added on top of the existing vanilla ones. Vanilla food items themselves are untouched, aside from having level or subclass requirements.

• Banana: functions like an Apple but is harvested from Jungle Leaves instead of Oak Leaves.

• Coffee Beans: functions like an Apple but is harvested from Mangrove Leaves instead of Oak Leaves. Inedible.

• Lemon: functions like an Apple but is harvested from Acacia Leaves instead of Oak Leaves.

Additional Rules

• Depending on the biome, crops grow at different speeds or not at all. 

• Crops can only grow on irrigated soil (Farmland that touches water).
