Herbs, spices, and grains are the workhorses of the Yeast ‘n Feast kitchen. Barley and Rye form the base of breads and hearty stews. Mint, Ginger, and Garlic add flavour to tarts, teas, and fish dishes. All five crops can be farmed on tilled land, and four of them also appear as wild plants you can forage directly from the world.Documentation Index

Growing from seeds
Barley, Rye, and Mint each have a dedicated seed item. Ginger and Garlic are planted directly from the ingredient item itself, similar to vanilla potatoes or carrots. All five crops share the same four-stage growth cycle (age 0–3) and use the same block properties as vanilla potato crops.Prepare farmland
Use a hoe on dirt or grass to create tilled farmland. Keep water within four blocks to keep it hydrated — crops grow faster on hydrated farmland.
Plant your seeds
Right-click the farmland with Barley Seeds, Rye Seeds, or Mint Seeds to plant. For Ginger and Garlic, right-click with the ingredient item directly.
Wait for full growth
Each crop grows through four stages. You can use Bone Meal to skip growth stages instantly.

Grain details
Barley (nutrition: not directly eaten) is primarily a crafting ingredient. Craft nine Barley into a Barley Block for compact storage (equivalent to a Hay Block), or use Barley to bake Barley Bread (nutrition 5, saturation 0.8). Rye follows the same pattern — craft into a Rye Block or bake into Rye Bread (nutrition 5, saturation 0.8). Rye is also a key component in Stuffed Rye Dumplings, a feast plate dish that grants Strength I for 10 seconds.Herb details
Mint has no direct nutritional value as a raw ingredient. Its primary use is in Minted Cheese Tart (nutrition 11, saturation 0.85), which grants Regeneration I for 6 seconds on consumption. Ginger (nutrition 1, saturation 0.1) is mildly edible raw and is used in Ginger Tea when Farmer’s Delight is installed (nutrition 6, saturation 0.1). Ginger Tea uses the same item class as Milk Bottle and clears a status effect on consumption. Garlic (nutrition 1, saturation 0.1) flavours fish and vegetable dishes, including Herbal Cod and Garden Soup (Farmer’s Delight).Wild variants
Wild Barley, Wild Rye, Wild Ginger, and Wild Garlic generate naturally in the world as flower-type blocks. Break them to collect the corresponding ingredient without needing farmland or seeds. They do not regrow after being picked.Wild plant blocks count as flowers for gameplay purposes and can be placed in flower pots for decoration. Keep your eyes open while exploring — wild crops are one of the fastest ways to start your ingredient collection before you set up a farm.
Thistle
Thistle is a special wild plant found in the world. Unlike the other wild crops, Thistle is a renewable plant: right-clicking it with Bone Meal drops a Thistle item without destroying the block. This makes it a sustainable, renewable source. Uses: Bag of Thistle (storage block), ingredient in crafting recipes.Special dairy ingredients
Two items — Milk Bottle and Rennet — are essential for the cheese-making workflow. Both use a Glass Bottle as their craft remainder, meaning the bottle is returned to you after the item is consumed or used in crafting.Milk Bottle
Milk Bottle
The Milk Bottle stacks to 16 (unlike vanilla Milk Buckets) and returns a Glass Bottle when consumed. Its tooltip reads “Removes a single effect” — consuming it clears one random harmful (non-beneficial) status effect. Beneficial effects like Overfed or Vigorous are not removed.Use it in Cheese Press recipes as the milk source for producing cheese wheels.
Rennet
Rennet
Rennet is the coagulating agent used in cheese-making. It also stacks to 16 and returns a Glass Bottle when used. Combine Rennet with a Milk Bottle in the Cheese Press to produce cheese wheels such as Freshwheel, Duskwheel, and Sharpwheel.Check your recipe viewer (JEI) for the exact crafting recipe for Rennet.
Both Milk Bottle and Rennet use Glass Bottles as their
craftRemainder, so crafting with them returns a bottle to your inventory — you only need to supply the bottle once.
