You can use the following as fertilizer to hasten the growth process:
How to Farm in Creative and Survival mode
Finding a piece of land with water is the first step. Next, you need to select a hoe in the hotbar. In this illustration, we’ll turn the land into farmland using a wooden hoe.
Place your pointer (the plus sign) next on a block by the water. The block should turn highlighted in your game window.
Use the Hoe
Depending on the version of Minecraft, the hoe game control may look like this:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block.
- Press the LT button on the Xbox controller for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
- Press the L2 button on the PS controller for the PS3 and PS4.
- For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block.
- For Education Edition, right click on the block.
This will turn the area into farmland by exposing the soil for planting and preparing the ground.
The blocks you want to farm will appear brown once you’ve used the hoe on them because the grass has been removed. The blocks will start to soak up water and turn a darker brown as they do so.
Plant the Item
Select the item you want to plant in the hotbar after that. This could be carrots, potatoes or one of the seeds. In this example, we will plant seeds.
Depending on the version of Minecraft, you can plant seeds using the following controls:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block.
- Press the LT button on the Xbox controller for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
- Press the L2 button on the PS controller for the PS3 and PS4.
- For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block.
- For Education Edition, right click on the block.
You should start to see the plants grow once you have sown your seeds on each of the soil blocks. Your plants will begin as tiny seeds and eventually reach full size on their own.
Fertilize with Bone Meal
Use bone meal on the plants to hasten the growing process. To use bone meal, select it in your hotbar. Depending on the version of Minecraft, the following controls are used to use the bone meal:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the plants.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the plants.
- Press the LT button on the Xbox controller for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
- Press the L2 button on the PS controller for the PS3 and PS4.
- For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the plants.
- For Education Edition, right click on the plants.
Green stars will start to appear over the plants as you fertilize them with the bone meal. It might be necessary to apply a few bone meals to each section of plants.
You need to harvest the wheat now that your farm has reached maturity.
Harvest the Crop
To harvest the crop, you need to break the plant. Depending on the Minecraft version, the game control for harvesting is:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click on the plant.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold.
- Press the R2 button on the PS controller for the PS3 and PS4.
- Press the RT button on the Xbox controller for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
- For Windows 10 Edition, left click on the plant.
- For Wii U, press the ZR button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZR button on the controller.
- For Education Edition, left click on the plant.
Your crop should be floating on the ground once you’ve broken the plant. In this example, we have harvested wheat. Make sure you pick up the item before it disappears.
TIP: If you harvest your plants too soon, you won’t get wheat; you’ll get seeds. Make sure your plants are full-grown before breaking them.
