Obtaining

Fruit trees are found growing naturally in the wild in areas with an average biome temperature between 10 and 25, and a rainfall value of at least 500.

Fruit trees can be found growing naturally in the wild in temperate areas with a high rainfall values. Different regions will spawn different kinds of fruit trees. For example, Date fruit trees can be found growing in Africa. Fruit trees can be chopped to obtain Fruitwood.

Growing

To grow a fruit tree, the player must first obtain a fruit tree sapling. Fruit tree saplings can be obtained by placing 40 oz of a tree's fruit in the middle slot of a Large Ceramic Vessel. Then, put at least 2 dirt of any type in every other slot of the vessel. Let the fruit decay to 50% decay. If you placed the right amount of fruit, a fruit tree sapling will replace the fruit, and 1 dirt from every slot will be consumed. Be mindful that if you seal the container you won't get a fruit sapling. Leave the vessel unsealed.

Usage

Fruit tree saplings do not grow instantaneously. One vertical block of the fruit tree will only grow every 2 months. A branch of the fruit tree will only every 1.5 months.

Fruit trees will produce a single piece of fruit per leaf block during their harvest seasons. To harvest the fruit, Right Click or Left Click the leaves and the fruit will drop. All fruit trees drop pieces of fruit ranging from 4 to 16 oz in weight.

Trivia

• Fruit trees only produce fruit when the current temperature is between 0 and 38. For the majority of cases, the seasonal requirements (Spring to Late Autumn) already fall into this temperature range, with the exception being extreme areas such as deserts, very few jungles near the equator, and the deep tundra.
