An ear still in its husk, peeled back just enough to show the rows of yellow grain. Edible raw, sweeter off the fire.
A tall farmland crop. Grown plants stand two blocks high, with the tassel at the top and the husked ear halfway up the stalk. Without headroom the second block cannot rise and growth stalls there. Breaking either half harvests the whole plant. First seeds come from wild corn on savanna plateaus or sunflower plains.
Obtaining
- Harvested from Corn
Generation
- Wild patch: savanna plateau、sunflower plains
Ecological basis
Maize descends from teosinte of Mexico and Central America, plants of seasonally dry open country. Savanna plateaus represent warm upland grassland, and sunflower plains represent sunny farmland.
Usage
A field that needs headroom
Growing indoors or in a tunnel? Leave two blocks of air above the farmland. Under a low ceiling the plant stops one stage short and never ears up.
As an ingredient
Behavior
Either end takes the plant
Break the upper block or the lower one — either takes the whole plant. Nothing is left behind when you reap a tall field at chest height.
Straw from the sickle
Cut a mature plant with a sickle and you get straw alongside the corn, just as with wheat and rice — and the same when you cut it at the upper block.
