Let’s Do: Farm & Charm – The Ultimate Guide
Welcome to the ultimate guide to Let’s Do: Farm & Charm, one of the best farming and cooking mods available and a perfect companion to other Let’s Do mods. You’ll find it featured in large modpacks like Society: Sunlit Valley, where it adds depth, progression, and loads of useful farming mechanics.
This guide covers everything you need to know, from crops and silos to cooking, animal tools, and quality-of-life features.
New Crops & Wild Plants
Farm & Charm introduces a wide variety of wild crops that spawn naturally in the world. These include:
- Strawberries
- Tomatoes
- Onions
- Lettuce
- Oats
- Corn
- Barley
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Beetroots
- Emmer
- Ribwort
- Nettles
Plains, Savannas & Badlands
These biomes are excellent early-game locations due to the variety of crops available.
You can find:
- Wild Corn
- Wild Tomatoes
These are most commonly found in:
- Plains
- Savannas
- Badlands
Taiga & Meadow Biomes
If you’re looking for grains, these colder and temperate biomes are key.
You can find:
- Wild Oats
Biomes:
- Taiga
- Meadow
Rivers, Plains & Savannas
Barley is slightly more spread out but still easy to find.
You can find:
- Wild Barley
Biomes:
- Rivers
- Plains
- Occasionally Savannas
Forests, Plains & Flower Forests
These are some of the easiest crops to obtain, as they spawn in very common biomes.
You can find:
- Wild Nettles
- Wild Carrots
- Wild Beetroots
- Wild Potatoes
Biomes:
- Forests
- Plains
- Flower Forests
- Sometimes Rivers
Lettuce & Onions (Very Common)
Lettuce and onions spawn in many of the same biomes as the crops above and are extremely easy to gather.
You can find:
- Wild Lettuce
- Wild Onions
Biomes:
- Forests
- Plains
- Rivers
- Savannas
These are among the most widely distributed crops in the mod.
Strawberries
Strawberries are common, but do not spawn in forests.
You can find:
- Wild Strawberries
Biomes:
- Plains
- Rivers
- Meadows
- Sunflower Plains
Swamps & Mangrove Swamps (Best Location)
If you’re specifically hunting herbal plants, these biomes are ideal.
You can find:
- Wild Nettles
- Wild Ribwort
Biomes:
- Swamps
- Mangrove Swamps
These two biomes are the most reliable source for both plants.
Emmer
Emmer is another grain crop that spawns across multiple biomes.
You can find:
- Wild Emmer
Biomes:
- Plains
- Sunflower Plains
- Forests
- Rivers
Breaking wild plants drops their raw versions, which can then be used in cooking, teas, or crafting.
Teas & Early Buffs
Many plants can be brewed into teas:
- Nettle Tea – Instant health + hunger & saturation
- Ribwort Tea – Regeneration
These are great early-game consumables and worth crafting as soon as possible.
You can also bundle crops into 3×3 bales or bags for compact storage.
Silos – Composting & Fertilizer
Silos are one of the core mechanics of Farm & Charm.
Types of Silos
- Wooden Silo
- Copper Silo
Both function identically — the difference is purely aesthetic.
How Silos Work
You can insert:
- Crops
- Wild plants
- Podzol
- Rotten flesh
After 10 seconds, the silo produces:
- Bone meal
- Fertilizer
- Fertilized soil
Multiblock Silos
Silos can be combined into a multiblock structure:
- Up to 3×3 wide
- Up to 9 blocks tall
- Processing time remains the same regardless of size
Fertilized Soil & Pitchforks
Fertilized soil has two main uses:
- Crop Growth
- Terrain Spreading
It is assumed to improve crop growth when tilled, though this is not clearly documented.
Using a pitchfork on fertilized soil causes grass and vegetation to spread rapidly across a large area without consuming the block.
This makes it excellent for landscaping and farm setup.
Cooking & Food Production
Stove
The stove is the foundation of cooking:
- Accepts fuel (coal, etc.)
- Can cook items directly
- Used with other cooking blocks
Cooking Pot
Placed on top of the stove:
- 6 ingredient slots + bowl slot
- Food only cooks after inserting a bowl
- Produces soups, stews, and meals
Roaster
Used for roasted foods:
- Example: corn + butter → roasted corn
- Provides powerful buffs like Feast or Grandma’s Blessing
Animal Automation & Farming Tools
Feeding Trough
- Automatically feeds animals in a large radius
- Great for passive farming setups
Water Sprinkler
- Hydrates nearby crops
- Decorative and functional
Cattle Grid
- Prevents animals from crossing
- Replaces fences entirely
- Animals cannot walk over it, even when tempted
Chickens & Egg Collection
Chicken Nest
- Chickens lay eggs directly into the nest
- No hoppers required
Chicken Coop
- Holds chickens internally
- Right-click to collect eggs instantly
Decoration & Storage
Window Sill
- Mounts on walls
- Holds plants or flowers decoratively
Tool Rack
- Stores tools and weapons on walls
- Holds up to three tools
Crafting Bowl – Butter Making
The crafting bowl allows manual processing:
- Insert a milk bucket
- Right-click repeatedly to stir
- Produces butter
- Shift-right-click to remove items
Butter is used in many cooking recipes.
Mincer – Meat Processing
The mincer increases meat efficiency:
- Raw chicken → 3 chicken cuts
- Raw pork → bacon
- Even processes ores (e.g. copper ore → raw copper)
This allows you to triple meat output, making it extremely powerful in food-focused modpacks.
Animal Feed & Pets
Different feeds provide buffs:
- Dog food – Attack damage & knockback resistance
- Chicken feed – Chickens cluck for 30 seconds
- Horse feed – Jump height & strength
- Cat food – Increased taming chance
Feeds can be compacted into bags using 3×3 crafting.
