What is Farming for Blockheads?
1 part
Farming for Blockheads is a farming mod, and this pack includes version 21.1.8 of the NeoForge 1.21.1 build. It has been in the pack since 1.0 or earlier. The quest book shows it adds a Market for buying farm supplies, red, green and yellow fertilizers, and a Chicken Nest for collecting eggs.[1][2]
The pack's quest book places it in the Food and Farming chapter. Each quest below asks you to obtain one of the mod's items.[2]
What the quests cover
- The Market is the task of "Purchasing Farm Supplies" quest. The quest says a Market gives you a villager who can sell you anything for the right amount of emeralds, usually just 1 emerald per item. It comes after the quest "Mary had a Little Lamb".[2]
- The Chicken Nest is the task of "Egg Automation" quest, titled Egg Automation. The quest calls it humane egg collection, and it comes after the quest "I'm not gonna make an Egg pun".[2]
- Red Fertilizer increases the speed of growth and conflicts with green fertilizer. See a quest in "Food and Farming".[2]
- Green Fertilizer increases output per harvest and conflicts with red fertilizer. See a quest in "Food and Farming".[2]
- Yellow Fertilizer is the quest book's fix for annihilating your crops when jumping, and it can be used with the other types. See a quest in "Food and Farming".[2]
How do you get started with Farming for Blockheads?
3 parts
Welcome in! Farming for Blockheads adds a handful of farming helpers to this pack, and the pack's quest book covers them in the Food and Farming chapter. Here is the order I'd make things in, and why.[2]
Start with the Market
Make the Market first. The quest "Purchasing Farm Supplies" quest comes after "Mary had a Little Lamb" and says the Market gives you a villager who can sell you anything if you have the right amount of emeralds. It's usually just 1 Emerald per item.[2]

This is the mod's own recipe, unchanged by the pack.
The pack has changed the Market's entries for green, red and yellow fertilizer, so the Market is a second way to get all of them besides crafting.[3]
Then fertilizers
Next come the fertilizers. In the quest book, the fertilizer quests all come after the Improving Growth quest. Pick based on what you want from your crops.[2]
Red Fertilizer increases the speed of growth, and it conflicts with green fertilizer. The quest for it is a quest in "Food and Farming".[2]

Animal helpers
Once crops are running, look at your animals. The Chicken Nest collects eggs laid by chickens. The quest "Egg Automation" quest (Egg Automation) comes after "I'm not gonna make an Egg pun" and calls it humane egg collection.[2][4]

How does Farming for Blockheads work?
5 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 5.4 guide
Farming for Blockheads is all about making farm life less of a chore. Its core pieces are small helper blocks for your animal pens, three colours of fertilizer for your crops, and a Market where you can pick up farming goods. None of these need power or fluids; the sources describe them as simple blocks that work on whatever is nearby.[5][6]
Chicken Nest
The Chicken Nest collects eggs laid by chickens, so you don't have to hunt for them around your coop. It picks up laid eggs within a set range, and that range is a mod setting.[5]
Crafting Shaped

Recipe id: farmingforblockheads:chicken_nest
Feeding Trough
The Feeding Trough auto-feeds nearby animals that are ready to mate, which keeps your breeding pens going without you standing there with a stack of wheat. It only reaches animals within its range, and it stops feeding once a maximum number of animals of each type is reached. That cap is what keeps a trough from filling your base with cows forever.[5]

Recipe id: farmingforblockheads:feeding_trough
Unverified The exact ranges and the maximum animal count used in this pack could not be confirmed, because the mod's config files are not available as sources. The same applies to whether the trough or nest can be fed or emptied with hoppers or pipes.
Fertilizers
There are three fertilizers, and each one does a different job. Green Fertilizer increases crop output: when you use it, you get a chance at a bonus crop. Red Fertilizer gives a chance at bonus growth instead.[5]
Fertilizers work through Fertilized Farmland. Fertilized Farmland isn't permanent: each bonus it provides carries a chance that it turns back into regular Farmland. Expect to top your fields up now and then.[5]
Unverified What Yellow Fertilizer does is not described in the available sources, and neither are the exact bonus and regression chances used in this pack.
The pack has changed the crafting recipes for Green Fertilizer and Red Fertilizer. Yellow Fertilizer uses the mod's own recipe. Check the recipes below rather than relying on older guides or videos for other packs.[6]

The Market
The Market is the mod's shop block. In this pack it offers all three fertilizers: Green, Red and Yellow. The pack has changed each of these market entries, and the recipe data lists them with no item inputs.[6]

Unverified It is unconfirmed whether the missing item inputs mean these market entries are free in this pack or only that their cost isn't shown in the data. Check the Market in-game before you plan around it.
Merchants
The mod includes merchants, which take their names from a configurable list. There is also a setting that makes merchants count as babies on a technical level only. It exists to shut down exploits that farm merchants for their death loot, such as blood.[5]
Unverified How merchants relate to the Market block, and whether the baby setting is turned on in this pack, is not confirmed by the available sources.
How do you progress through Farming for Blockheads?
4 parts
Farming for Blockheads has no strict tiers in this pack. The Food and Farming quest chapter gives you a loose path instead: start with the Market, then move on to the fertilizers and the Chicken Nest. The Feeding Trough has no quest of its own.[2]
Start with the Market
The quest "Purchasing Farm Supplies" quest (Purchasing Farm Supplies) asks you to get a Market. It unlocks after the quest Mary had a Little Lamb. The quest text says the Market gives you a villager who sells farm goods for emeralds, usually 1 Emerald per item.[2]

Recipe id: farmingforblockheads:market
This is the mod's own recipe, the pack has not changed it.
The pack has changed the Market's entries for all of the fertilizers. The recipe dump lists no item inputs for those entries.[3]
Fertilizers
Each fertilizer has its own quest, and all of them come after the quest Improving Growth. You can get them from the Market or craft them. Pay attention to which ones conflict.[2][3]
- a quest in "Food and Farming" asks for Red Fertilizer. It increases the speed of growth and conflicts with green fertilizer.[2]
- a quest in "Food and Farming" asks for Green Fertilizer. It increases output per harvest and conflicts with red fertilizer.[2]
- a quest in "Food and Farming" asks for Yellow Fertilizer. The quest text hints that it saves your crops from being trampled when you jump, and says you can use it with the other two types.[2]
The pack changed the crafting recipes for red and green fertilizer. Yellow fertilizer still uses the mod's own recipe.[3]

Which All the Mods 10: To the Sky quests use Farming for Blockheads?
3 parts
All of this mod's quests sit in a single chapter, Food and Farming. There are five of them, and each one has you hand in a single Farming for Blockheads item. They fall into groups, and each group unlocks after a different earlier quest.[2]
Fertilizer quests
The fertilizer quests all unlock after the quest called Improving Growth. Each one asks for one type of fertilizer.[2]
- a quest in "Food and Farming" asks for Red Fertilizer. The quest text says it increases the speed of growth and conflicts with green fertilizer.[2]
- a quest in "Food and Farming" asks for Green Fertilizer. The quest text says it increases output per harvest and conflicts with red fertilizer.[2]
- a quest in "Food and Farming" asks for Yellow Fertilizer. The quest text says it can be used with the other two types, and it's pitched as the fix for trampling your crops when you jump on them.[2]
Egg Automation
"Egg Automation" quest unlocks after the quest called I'm not gonna make an Egg pun. It asks for a Chicken Nest, which the quest describes as the humane way to collect eggs. The quest text adds that you could use MA instead, but asks who would want to.[2]
Purchasing Farm Supplies
"Purchasing Farm Supplies" quest unlocks after the quest called Mary had a Little Lamb. It asks for a Market. The quest text says the Market gives you a villager who will sell you anything for the right amount of emeralds, usually just 1 emerald per item.[2]
The sources only show which quest each one follows. They don't give an overall order across the whole chapter, so use the quest book's own layout to see where each group sits.[2]
