A Chilli is a type of pepper as well as a renewable resource food item that can be planted or consumed. When consumed, it restores Health and Hunger to a Blockhead. The pepper can also be placed in a block of dirt or compost to grow a chilli plant for farming additional chillis.

Appearance

A young chilli plant is dark green and fans out and up from a single low stem. It will make several small increases in size as it grows, but remains no more than a single block tall.

A mature chilli plant is two blocks tall and covered in dark red "peppers." The peppers glow slightly in the dark.

Where Found

Chilli plants can be found growing in tropical regions.

Farming

Harvesting of chillies may be done by hand or by machete for maximum yield on a mature plant bearing the pepper, producing about three peppers and removing the plant. If harvested just before maturing, it can still produce a full crop, but a young plant will produce only one pepper. A chilli plant will reach maturity in about two days. Once mature, the average life cycle is about 1 day before dropping a single pepper and reverting to its young stage. It will go through this cycle several times before completely de-spawning, producing a total of up to half a dozen peppers. Agriculturally, the pepper can be placed in a block of dirt or compost to grow a chilli plant for farming additional chillies.
