Appearance

As an item, corn has the appearance of a partially shucked ear of maize. The corn is yellow with a split green husk.

Where Found

Corn can be found growing on corn stalks located in the temperate and equatorial biome regions.

Farming

Corn grows seasonally on corn stalks and may be harvested by hand or by machete or spade for maximum yield on a mature stalk. If unharvested, a mature corn stalk will eventually reduce to a young one, dropping an ear of corn in the process. Agriculturally, the fruit can be placed in a block of dirt or compost to grow a corn stalk for farming additional ears of corn.

Crafting
