This page contains an overview of farmable blocks in Minetest Game. Farmable blocks will spawn either new blocks or yield new items, when mined. All farmable blocks have to be on top of another certain kind of block to grow. Some farmable blocks also need light.

There are some farming mods with extensions, e.g. more fruits and foods.

The “Maximum profit” column shows the maximum possible outcome a single block will yield, including itself.
