This page contains an overview of farmable blocks. 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.

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

Light level 13 on a farmable crop can be achieved at night by putting a torch just over it, or besides it. If light is not sufficient at night, the crop will only grow at day.
