Farm Dye Plants

[tools guy-kun]

I was wondering if i am able to farm plants like marigold and blueberries, so i can sell them to merchants. If i am able to do so, how can i do it?

There are no seeds for them so the best you can do is create a good environment for them to grow in. A long stretch of unbroken grass would work but you'll need to keep it clear of long grass, mushrooms and any other clutter.

Yes, you can grow them in the sense of having the proper biome for them. However, if you are trying for money, then there may be other ways. One way would be to make a world and just go mine the ore from there. Sell every ore and gem you find. Save any treasure loot or statues that you want, otherwise, sell them also.

The reason to do this in another world is that you may think of that as a throw-away world, whereas for your main world, you would want to keep it in a certain state.

You can also farm bosses for their drops. Just pick one that you can defeat easily, and farm it a few times.

A third easy option is to make obsidian skulls, made from an obsidian generator building. If you get a good prefix, you can get even more money.

Thank you sir, this is really helpful to be honest. I really am interested in the obsidian option, when i read about the generator, i got pretty excited, so i am going to google up how to make such a thing. Thank you very much sir.

Okay, so the stuff that grows on the grass is random and is not up to me to what it grows? Thank you.

Unlike using mud and planting glowing mushrooms (which means only glowing mushrooms will grow there), when you prepare a grassy area, you will get many things, such as grass, regular mushrooms. If there is space, before the grass grows in, you can also get the marigold and blueberry plant (they may also have a height requirement in your "garden" for those plants, whereas regular mushrooms just need a 1-block tall space to grow in).

To have the plants that you need for potions, you can grow them in clay pots, or try to put their natural soil also (but clay pots makes it easier -- no need to get their natural growing medium).
