Appearance

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

Where Found

Limes will only first appear in a new world by mining raw limestone with any pickaxe. 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 farmed, limes can also be picked from a lime tree.

Uses

Limes are edible, restoring health as normal.

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