The best way is to have a row of water next to every three rows of plants.
Once the area is ready, you must lay out your plots. You could also use a sand block and cacti on it which will grow and give you a 3+1 block high spiked wall which will keep animals away. Werewolves and tigers are able to jump over double fences so if you are in an area prone to them, you may wish to build your fence three high and add a roof. A double high fence is strongly recommended since some animals can jump two block high. Creating raised walkways if you do not wish to risk becoming wet by walking towards them through placed water is quite sensible and reduces the time spent afterwards in which you would have to become dry again. When laying out the plan for your farm, something to consider is how you will access the crops without damaging them. They may even be built indoors or underground. Crops and tilled soil can be ruined by you or animals walking on it, so it's important to protect your crops with a fence, spiked planks, lava, etc., or placed up high, like on top of your house. For example, it takes a lot of rye to make a little bread and due to the slow growing time it is only really efficient when grown in large quantities. A large farm will sustain you and often smaller farms will not suffice. Once you have a good spot, you should lay out the area you wish to plant, especially with crops that need tilled soil such as rye, pumpkin or cotton. You can also add some torches or lamps and make them grow even faster. Also plants need light to grow (a block 1 higher than the plant must have lighting >= 9, >= 12 if cacti, any if ivy), so outdoors is better. Also if you haven't found malachite ore yet in order to make a Bucket you'll need to place your farm next to water in order to irrigate the soil. Other crops aren't affected as much by the environment except crops that need to be irrigated by water since if it's too cold the water can freeze and the soil will dry up. A thermometer and hygrometer are very helpful to determine a good location, especially for trees. 
Trees need a humid environment, and the right temperature range. This will depend on what you are farming.
You will want to choose a good location for your farm. Tall grass can be grown in the same conditions as flowers. Tall Grass seeds can be obtained by putting a tall grass into the personal crafting interface or the crafting table. There are no seeds and the cactus block itself is planted to grow taller. If they are cut leaving the bottom portion, they will regrow their loss. They can be grown on soil, dirt or sand and fertilizer is not necessary.Ĭacti can be grown on sand up to 3 blocks tall. You get flower seeds from flowers, using the personal crafting interface or crafting table. They will grow over time and can be harvested for wood and leaves.įlowers can be used for decoration. Saplings may be crafted from the leaves of the tree and planted. Trees do not need watered or fertilized soil but they must have enough humidity and the right temperature range for the species. Be sure to leave the top ivy block on the wall so it will continue to spread. It will grow down quickly (depending on the environment) and you can harvest it. The best way to farm it is to use a wall and put the ivy as far up as you can reach. Ivy is grown from harvested ivy and not from seeds. 
Ivy is used for string, but can only be planted on vertical surfaces. They must then be planted on proper soil to grow into cultivated cotton plants. Cotton seeds may be obtained by breaking wild cotton plants. The grown pumpkins may be eaten raw, but can also be cooked in a furnace with a water bucket to get pumpkin soup.Ĭotton can be grown to produce Cotton Wads which are used to make canvas and is also used when loading a musket. Pumpkin seeds can be removed from pumpkins by putting one in a crafting slot, and planted on high quality soil. Rye seeds can be obtained by uprooting it's wild counterpart, which when planted in a good enough environment will grow into yellow edible rye. Rye can be made into flour, dough and bread.
