Green Thumb

Green Thumb is a potion effect that prevents the player from trampling farmland, causes some crops to drop experience when harvesting, and automatically replants some crops when harvesting.

Brewing

A Potion of Harvesting can be brewed from an Awkward Potion using Bone Meal.

Effects

A player with the Green Thumb effect will not trample farmland when jumping on it.

Mature crops that drop their seeds are automatically replanted when harvested with Green Thumb. One seed is removed from the dropped items. These crops include Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, Beetroot, Cocoa Beans, and Nether Wart. Holding left-click to harvest a mature crop disables breaking immature ones, so as to prevent accidents.

When harvesting most mature crops, Green Thumb gives them a chance to drop an XP orb worth 1 point. This does not apply to crops that were grown using bonemeal at any point, which will always drop 0 experience.

This means that one must harvest ten crops with Green Thumb I to recieve the equivalent experience of one zombie, or five crops at Green Thumb IV.
