Sesame

CategoryCrop
Planted asSesame Seeds

A carrot-style oilseed crop planted with the sesame itself. It grows two blocks high and stalls without headroom. Upright capsules line the mature stem; breaking either half harvests the whole plant. Find the first seeds in windswept savannas or sunflower plains.

Generation

Ecological basis

Sesame is an annual native to the Indian subcontinent and the seasonally dry tropics. Windswept savannas represent warm, dry uplands, while sunflower plains represent sunny farmland suited to this tall, drought-tolerant oilseed.

Usage

Leave room for two blocks

Indoors, leave two blocks of air above the farmland. Under a low ceiling sesame stays one block high and never sets seed.

Replant or press

The harvest is both the seed for the next field and the raw material for sesame oil. Keep a planting share before taking the rest to the press.

As an ingredient

Behavior

Either half harvests it

Break the upper or lower half and the whole plant is harvested once. Neither a floating top nor a double drop is left behind.
