RanchMC Wiki

Everything you need to go from a patch of dirt to a full ranch. New here? Start with Getting started.

Getting started

  1. Join at play.ranchmc.farm and accept the resource pack. Custom crops and items need it.
  2. Claim your farm. It's your own protected plot where nobody else can build or harvest.
  3. Buy seeds from the Seeds shop and plant your first wheat.
  4. Harvest, sell your crops, and use the money to buy better seeds.
  5. Level up your farming to unlock new crops, factories and bigger farms.

Crops keep growing while you're offline, at a slightly slower rate, for up to 7 days.

Money

RanchMC has three currencies, and each one does a different job.

CoinsEveryday money. Earned by selling crops and goods, spent on seeds and supplies.
TokensProgress money. Spent on farm expansions and buildings.
GemsCosmetics money. Spent in the /gemstore on hats, backpacks, particles, tags and disguises.

Your farm

Your farm is protected. Visitors can look around, but they can't break blocks, harvest, or open your chests unless you allow it in your farm settings.

  • Expanding: spend Tokens to make your farm bigger. Each expansion also raises how many crops you can plant.
  • Crop limit: every farm starts with room for 1,000 crops, and each expansion adds 100 more.
  • Visitors: set your farm home and visit spot so friends can find you. You can kick or ban anyone from your farm.

Crops

Each crop unlocks at a farming level. Crops marked "regrows" can be harvested several times before you need to replant.

Factories

Factories turn raw crops into goods that sell for much more. Put ingredients in, start the craft, and collect the output when it's done. You can stack ingredients to run several batches in a row.

FactoryMakes
OvenBread, pies, cookies, cheesecakes, soup
Jam MakerBerry and pumpkin jams
Juice PressFruit and vegetable juices
DairyDairy goods from milk
LoomCloth from cotton and wool
SmokehouseSmoked meats like Fresh Bacon
Feed MillChicken, Cow, Pig and Sheep Feed

Animals

Build coops for chickens, cows, sheep and pigs. Make feed in the Feed Mill, put it in the coop's feed tray, and collect eggs, milk, wool and meat to sell or use in your factories.

Pets

Pets follow you around and give your farm a bonus. Level them up to make the bonus stronger.

PetBonus
ChickenMore farming XP from harvests
SheepExtra crops from harvests and more wool
PigHigher sell prices
CowExtra factory output and more milk
HorseFaster crop growth

Use /pet summon <type> to bring one out and /pet dismiss to put it away.

Order Board

The Order Board gives you three orders at a time for specific crops and goods. Fill one to earn bonus coins and XP, and a new order takes its place. Higher farming levels get bigger orders for better goods.

Co-ops

Invite friends to farm with you. Co-op members can work your farm, and you can promote trusted members to Moderator.

  • Members can farm, harvest and use your buildings.
  • Moderators can also kick and ban visitors, set the farm home, and pay for expansions with their own Tokens.

Trading

  • Shop signs: put a sign on a chest to sell items to other players while you're offline. Use /farmshop. Everyone gets 5 signs, and ranks get more.
  • Player market: list items for other players with /playermarket.
  • Direct trades: trade safely with another player using /trade.

Shop sign sales have a small tax, so set your prices with that in mind.

Cosmetics

Hats, backpacks, hand items, particles, tags and mob disguises are all in the /gemstore. Right-click any particle in the store to try it on for 15 seconds before you buy. Equip what you own from your cosmetics menu.
