Carrots and Potatoes

[Fireinferno13]

Just something to note that I didnt really think of until now - both carrots and potatoes are usually farmed in rows not in a giant crop like wheat. Something to consider in future farms that would also provide some jobs as you cant simply voxel in a farm like this..

(new textures coming soon )

Well can you confirm that in let's say the Middle Age carrots were too already grown in rows? Your pics look like some heavy modern machinery is involved.

If we base it on the Middle Ages you got to consider that cultivated carrots around the 1200s were pretty much purple and red only and that just in italy and spain. In central europe and later england carrots were cultivated around 1300-1500 (late Middle Ages) which were red, yellow and white whereas the orange carrots, as we got them today and on mcme, were "not well documented until the 16th centuries in Europe." That would be after the Middle Ages.

Found some purty sweet reading over here:
History of Carrots - A brief summary and timeline

I suggest changing the colour to one of those beauties

But I fear that most people will not recognize them as carrots then.

Oh wow that's in interesting find But this may be abit too much
With fire's new texture the carrots anyway look like grown in rows, which makes sense even without machinery, as then you can get to every plant without stepping on all the carrots

Non-Orange carrots what is this heresy! but seriously let's not make this more complex than it needs to be? just orange and since minecraft is all about squares and lines Fire seems to have it

I think it would be overkill to make rows of path-type blocks between rows of carrots, which seems to be what fire was suggesting. The texture, like finrod said, is probably enough to make it look like rows.

Yeah, it was just something I came across while doing some light research for the textures.

My potato textures (which should be out soon) should also solve this problem
