Life Crops

Life Crops expands Hytale's farming system with resource crops, Life Essence progression, custom soils, and two new crafting benches.
Instead of farming only normal food crops, you can grow crops tied to ores, crystals, essences, woods, stones, soils, flowers, mushrooms, and creature drops. The mod is built around Life Essence: grow it, craft with it, unlock stronger seeds, then use your farmed resources to support building, crafting, and progression.

How Progression Works
Life Crops starts with Life Essence. Life Essence is the core resource used to craft and unlock many of the mod's crop seeds.
As you progress, you will use two new benches:
Life Well

The Life Well is used for crafting the new crop seeds. This is where most of the mod's farming progression begins.
Use it to turn Life Essence and other resources into seeds for new crop types.
Life Forge

The Life Forge is used to turn farmed essences back into useful blocks, materials, and resources.
This is especially important for wood, stone, soil, and other resource crops that produce essence first, then get converted into usable materials through crafting.

Essence Crops

Creature Drop Crops

Wood, Stone, and Soil Crops

Why Use Life Crops?
Life Crops is for players who enjoy farming-based progression, automation-friendly resource gathering, and turning agriculture into a larger part of survival gameplay.
It gives farmers a long-term role in resource generation, while still requiring crafting progression through Life Essence, the Life Well, and the Life Forge.
