What is Custom Farming?
Season 4 of SkyMata introduces an add-on that allows you to level up various skills to enhance your farming experience. It leans into the principles of real life farming, so you can explore how temperatures and planting environments will impact the growth of your farms, and even apply “fertilizers” to adjust growth speeds.
To view an in-game tutorial you can type /farm help.

Workstations Needed for Custom Farming
Growstation
Required for any custom farming seeds
Composter with Hoe
Used to make custom farming items. (This is a vanilla Minecraft composter.)
Skill Archive
Used to level up skills in custom farming.
Buy, Sell, and Farming XP
Earn Farming XP
Farming XP is earned by harvesting crops or bushes, and is used when choosing to level up your farms. Each crop will display how much XP you can earn in the information section of the seed or bush.
Sell Crops in the Farm Shop
Use /pyrofarm shop to sell the crops you’ve harvested!
Purchase Seeds in the Farm Market
Use /pyrofarm market to purchase seeds and bushes. More seeds and bushes will become available as you level up!
Earn Elysium to Upgrade Skills
Some payments for farming comes in the form of elysium, which is used to purchase upgrades through the Skill Tree. You can earn elysium by harvesting crops from the Growstation or from bushes.
Growstation (Required)
To get started with custom farming you’ll need to craft a Growstation. To do this, place a standard pot in the middle of your crafting table and surround it with wheat seeds.
Next, place your newly crafted Growstation in your desired location, and fill it with water. This will take several water buckets, but the Growstation can still be used even if it’s not completely full.
Every player will be allowed 10 Growstations when getting started. You can then purchase more Growstations through the Skill Archive using Elysium. Learn more about Growstations below.
Custom Items
There are 12 custom items available for custom farming, and they’re all craftable. Custom items are placeable mini-blocks that are used to change the temperature, environment, or growth speed of your crops. They are level based and craftable using crops from vanilla items and seeds you unlock as you level up. More details on custom items are below.
To access custom farming items, craft a composter, place it in your desired location, and right click it with a hoe. This will open the custom items GUI.
Custom Plants & Bushes
Just like in the real world, plants can have preferences for their environment, and their own attributes that might make them more or less desirable. Desired temperature and plant temperament are how these come to life in custom farming.
🌡️ Temperature
Some plants are resilient in all temperatures, while others have stronger preferences. The biome where your Growstation resides can have a positive or negative effect on your crops. Crafting custom items (see below) can provide adjustments to those environments to help your plants thrive wherever they are.
Biome temperatures are seen by custom crops in the following ways:
Temperature Category · Biome(s)
- Boiling — All Nether Biomes
- Hot — Badlands, Desert, Savanna, Jungle
- Warm — Beach, River, Plains, Mushroom Island, Meadow, Forest, Birch Forest, Dark Forest, Swamp, Cherry Grove, Mangrove Swamp, The End, All Oceans (except frozen ocean)
- Normal — Taiga, Stony Shore, Mega Taiga
- Cold — Windswept Hills, Gravel Windswept Hills
- Freezing — Snowy Plains, Ice Spikes, Snowy Beach, Frozen Ocean
- Glacial — Jagged Peaks, Icy Peaks, Snowy Slopes, Grove, Snowy Taiga
👽 Temperament
This one isn’t quite based on real-life. Think Little Shop of Horrors, rather than “spreads really fast.” With that in mind…
Temperament · Description
- Friendly — Doesn’t attack players or peaceful mobs.
- Normal — Might attack anything except players.
- Aggressive — No chill. Will attack anything, including players.

Farming Skills
Farming skills are split up into different categories. Below is a comprehensive list of skills in each category and what they do. A Skill Archive is required to upgrade skills and is unlocked at custom farming level 7. All skills and upgrades are purchased using Elysium.
Skills are acquired in predetermined pathways. For example, more Growstations 1-5 seems obvious, but you do have to level these up completely before being able to get Better Tanks 1. Better Tanks 1 has to be fully upgraded to get Rain Fill. Similar pathways exist for XP and Elysium upgrades.
You’ll start your skills journey from the bottom center of the menu, and follow the arrows in the direction of the skills you wish to acquire. (This menu may appear distorted for Bedrock players due to a different grid size.)
To craft a Skills Archive Lecturn use this crafting recipe.
Left click on the book in the bottom row to switch between the categories listed below.
Please note: These farming skills are separate from the levels you can upgrade directly at the Growstation.
