Redwheat Crossbreeding

  • Ok, I have read every thread I can find on the topic and still seem to be missing something. I am wondering if I a missing something obvious so I wanted to run my setup by the forum and see if anyone can spot a stupid. At the moment I am still just trying to crossbreed my first sample.


    I am using a sealed chamber 7x7x4, no outside light is getting in (confirmed via F3). It is in swampland at a Y height of 140. In the center I have a 3x3 cross breeding area with netherwart and aurelia in alternating corners. I have a single redstone torch in the exact center one block above the crops, producing a blocklight of 6 in the 4 cross breeding squares. Not using a weedex. I have been through maybe 6 stacks of crop sticks worth of failed crossbreeds.


    Can anyone spot anything that would prevent redwheat from breeding? It has been failing so consistantly for so long I am worrying that something in my setup is a problem, as opposed to simply not getting lucky yet.

  • When you first breed a plant, you do not need to meet the requirements to crossbreed it, but I think only to make it grow. My post in this thread demonstrates this with Nether Wart. In any case, up the light level, and if that doesn't work can you post a screenshot of your setup?

    Is the answer to this question no?

    Ah, I thought redwheat broke that rule. So I am trying to cross breed it in my regular glowstone lit open air crossbreeding area.... and somehow only getting hops so far (besides duplicates of the parent plants. Hrm.

  • First time trying to post screen shots here, so hopefully I am doing this right.


    Here are images of the two sites I have been using to try to get redwheat. In this attempt I have using Ferru+Coffee and Auruila+Netherwart. I have generally been stomping out anything that does not have a wheat-like starting image, but so far this has only resulted in Hopps.


    I am really at the end of my sanity with this one....

  • I don't know how crop code works exactly, but I understand that certain crops have a higher chance to produce a certain crop, and therefore the opposite could be true as well where the breeds you are using mainly produce hops. You could always try other crops, although I can't guarantee success with anything really
