Appearance

A lime is round and green with slight protrusions on opposite ends.

Where Found

Limes will only first appear in a world by mining unmined limestone with any pickaxe or if you buy one at a Trade Portal.

It is a rare bonus, produced in addition to the block of limestone. (One set of tests produced no limes using a flint pickaxe (512 strokes) and two with a stone pickaxe (1024 strokes).)

Once the lime is obtained, it grants the player the "Life From Stone" achievement.

Farming

Limes grow seasonally on lime trees and are harvested by hand. Limes may also be collected by felling the tree that bears the fruit and picking them up from the ground. Agriculturally, the fruit can be placed in a block of dirt or compost to grow a lime tree for farming additional limes.

Limes are most often harvested during late winter and spring.

Uses

Limes are edible, restoring health and hunger like other fruits.

Planting a lime in dirt or compost will spawn a lime tree.

Crafting

Five limes can be used to craft compost at a compost bin from version 1.6 onwards.
