Chorus Fruit Farm
Intermediate Java + Bedrock
Produces: Chorus fruit (0-1 per plant block) for food and purpur blocks, plus chorus flowers to replant
Quick answer: Chorus plants grow from chorus flowers planted on end stone - in any dimension, at any light level. Harvest the fruit by chopping the trunk (everything above breaks), shoot the flowers down with arrows to replant, and re-plant to reset their age.
How it works
- Chorus flowers plant only on end stone, but grow in any dimension and any light - an Overworld chorus farm beside your base works exactly like an End one.
- Each flower ages as it grows and stops at age 5 (turning purple); harvesting and replanting the flower resets the age, so the same flowers serve forever.
- Each chorus plant block has a 50% chance to drop a chorus fruit, and Fortune does not change it.
- Flowers only drop if broken directly, shot or blown up; if their support is broken they drop nothing. Bone meal has no effect on growth.
- Eating chorus fruit (even with a full hunger bar) restores 4 hunger, teleports you to a random spot within +-8 blocks and removes fall damage; smelted it becomes popped chorus fruit, a prerequisite for purpur.
Materials
- End stone (one block per flower)
- Chorus flowers from the outer End islands
- An axe for the trunks and a bow with arrows for the flowers
- Torches optional - light does not matter
- Furnace if you want purpur production
Build steps
- Harvest starters in the End: bridge to the outer islands after the dragon fight and shoot the white flowers off the treetops - arrows drop them as items; breaking the trunk first destroys them.
- Plant at home: end stone rows with a flower on each, spaced 3-4 blocks apart so the branching canopies do not tangle.
- Let them grow: flowers branch upward and outward through age 4, then finish at age 5 - taller, bushier plants mean more fruit per harvest.
- Harvest the fruit: chop the lowest plant block with an axe - the entire plant collapses, dropping 0-1 fruit per block.
- Harvest the flowers separately: shoot or break each flower directly before or after felling the plant, or they vanish.
- Replant immediately: each flower goes back on end stone with its age reset, ready for the next cycle.
- A fully grown unrestricted plant gives 1 to 8 flowers (average 3.7), and is 5 to 22 blocks tall.
- Eat the fruit to teleport or smelt it into popped chorus fruit for purpur.
Rates
A mature grid of 20-30 fully grown plants yields several stacks of chorus fruit per harvest cycle; plants regrow from replanted flowers in a few in-game days, and the flowers last forever.
Tips
- Carry a bow: flowers destroyed with their support drop nothing.
- Purple flowers (age 5) stop growing; white ones are still growing.
- Planting in the Overworld works: end stone is the only requirement.
- Chorus fruit has a 1 second cooldown between uses.
