Cycad

Cycads are small, woody plants native to the Primordial Caves.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Cycads generate throughout the Primordial Caves, and are between two and four blocks tall. Breaking the trunk of a Cycad causes the rest of the Cycad above it to break immediately.

Growth

Using Bone Meal or Fertilizer on the top of a Cycad causes the Cycad to grow one block taller, up to a maximum of four blocks tall. Attempting to use these items on a Cycad that is already four blocks tall does nothing.

Usage

Crafting

Cycads are used to make the Primitive Club.

Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Cycad + Heavy Bone

Potting

Cycads can be placed in Flower Pots.

Composting

Using Cycads on a Composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Bugs

• The leaves on the tops of Cycads are prone to z-fighting with other blocks. This can easily be seen when placing Slabs, Stairs, or other half-blocks underneath them.
