Gemcorns



Gemcorns are a type of Seed used to plant Gem trees. When planted on stone in the Underground layer or below, the Gemcorn will grow into a Gem tree. Although fairly uncommon, Gem trees can be found in the Cavern layer. Chopping one down will drop 10-20 Stone Blocks, 0-5 Gemcorns of the tree’s type, and 0-5 Gems of the tree’s type. The growth speed of Gem trees is inversely related to the amount of light present - the higher the light level, the slower it grows. With torches directly next to the sapling, it will not grow. In complete darkness Gem trees grow at the same rate as other tree acorns. Gemcorns are also unable to grow in front of background walls. They cannot be picked back up after they have been placed down.
