A Beginner's Guide to Efficient Farming

The Engine of the Economy

Farming is the most reliable way to earn gems and World Locks. Here is how to do it efficiently.

Step 1: Choose Your "Farmable"

A farmable item drops more seeds than you planted, allowing endless expansion.

• Fish Tank: Balanced drops, easy to break. Best for starters.
• Sugarcane: Fast growth, one-hit break. Best for active farmers.
• Pinball Bumper: High gem drops, longer growth time.

Step 2: World Layout

Don't place blocks randomly.

1. Long Platforms: Use dirt to make rows across the world.
2. 3-Block Gap: Leave 3 empty spaces between rows. This lets you punch blocks above you without jumping.
3. Lock It: Always use a Small Lock or Big Lock before placing valuable blocks!

Step 3: The BFG (Break For Gems)

The fastest way to harvest is hosting a BFG.

• How it works: You place a "Magplant" or BFG machine. Other players enter your world and break your blocks for free to get the seeds/XP. You get the gems automatically.
• Result: 100% Gem profit with 0% effort.
