Harvested cotton bolls. Spin them into string on a spinning wheel, use them for cotton cloth, or recover seeds at a crafting table.
Japanese cotton for farmland. Mature plants yield cotton bolls plus seeds (Fortune helps). Seeds come from wild cotton in the savanna, or by crafting them from a boll.
Obtaining
- Harvested from Cotton
Generation
- Wild patch: savanna
Ecological basis
Cotton was domesticated in tropical and subtropical regions with seasonally dry habitats. Savanna represents warm, open dry grassland better than temperate plains.
Usage
Seed recovery and spinning
Recover planting seeds at a crafting table and supply the spinning wheel with cotton for string. Set aside bolls for cloth as needed.
Growing string and cloth
Farms like wheat, harvests like a textile mill. For your first plant, hunting wild cotton in the savanna is the quickest road.

Behavior
Harvest notes
Break it early and you get only seeds back — wait for the bolls to burst white before harvesting.
