Farmer
Farmer
A class dedicated to farming crops and cooking food.
Farmer is Era's most beginner-friendly class. Leveling up mainly increases how much yield a player gets from harvesting crops and unlocks new cooking and crafting options along the way. Farmer class XP is earned from a wide range of everyday farming actions like harvesting 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
Crops grow at different speeds or sometimes not at all depending on the biome.
Crops can only grow on irrigated soil.
