# PotatCraft
\n## Potato based progression for Minecraft. <\/p>\n
PotatCraft was made for the first DataPack jam. https:\/\/discord.gg\/z6TgybXhrg
\nPotatCraft won second place!<\/p>\n
PotatCraft is a Datapack that changes the main progression of the game. PotatCraft makes the humble potato, an oftentimes overlooked item, into a vital and useful item, without which the player may not progress.<\/p>\n
PotatCraft very much aims to slow down early game progression, and allows you to take Minecraft at a slower pace. One of the problems I feel I face with Minecraft is that early game is over too quickly, and I personally don’t find late game as fun. If you enjoy farming in minecraft, and taking it easy, then PotatCraft may be a fun challenge for you!<\/p>\n
PotatCraft adds three extra potatoes into the game; the Super Potato, the Mega Potato, and the Giga Potato. These potatoes are used to craft the main tools and weapons that a player would use within Minecraft.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ingredient | Tier
\n———–|——
\nPotato | Wooden Tools
\nSuper Potato | Stone and Gold Tools
\nMega Potato | Iron Tools
\nGiga Potato | Diamond Tools, Eye of Ender<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As well, PotatCraft also adds various meat-filled baked potatoes (meat can no longer be smelted, rather must be crafted with a baked potato)

PotatCraft also adds the delicious Potato Pie:

Eyes of Ender also require Giga Potatoes:

## Tips for progressing:
\nTo make any progress in PotatCraft, you will need to farm potatoes. If there is a nearby village, you will be best off starting there, as likely there will be potato farms.<\/p>\n
If you cannot find potatoes in the village, do not worry. Seeds can be smelted down to make potatoes. You will, however, need to find a furnace and fuel, as you cannot make a wooden pickaxe without first having a potato.<\/p>\n
Super Potatoes can be traded with level 5 farmers. Also, every farmer will trade 10 potatoes for an emerald. Super Potatoes also will rarely drop when harvesting a crop of potatoes. Getting to the nether quickly, and getting a soul sand valley will be very useful, as the bountiful bonemeal will greatly speed up progression.<\/p>\n
You will also notice that there is an additional item in the promo image for this datapack. It is a challenge for players to figure out how to craft the Mashed Potato.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
