Corn Stalk

Corn Stalk

Corn stalks are vegetation plants that produce corn.

Appearance

Mature corn stalks have a tall growth height, typically taller than a blockhead but always functionally two blocks tall. Green leaves are affixed to the stem with several yellow ears developing above the leaves. At the apex is a tassel consisting of an inflorescence of yellow flowers.

Young corn stalks are the same light green in color, but lack the bulk and yellow ears.

Where Found

Corn stalks can be found in temperate biome regions or be grown by methods of farming.

Farming

Corn stalks are primarily used for the production and farming of corn. Corn can be planted in a block of dirt or compost to produce additional corn stalks and yielding more corn. Harvesting of corn is achieved by hand or using a machete or a spade (for maximum yield) on a mature corn stalk. If you harvest from the top block, it will leave with a young form, or you can just harvest the bottom part to remove the whole plant (less corn though).

A mature corn stalk left alone long enough will eventually drop corn and revert to a young form. A despawning corn stalk may also drop corn.
