Chorus Fruit is perhaps the most unique food in all of Minecraft, with further uses past just restoring hunger. It is a fruit native to the End dimension and is one of the few foods that can be eaten, even when the hunger bar is full. It is also farmed differently than any other food source in the game, so players who are new to this item may need a bit of guidance with getting a farm set up.
This fruit triples as a food source, a crafting ingredient, and a piece of equipment. It has a relatively straightforward farming method, and likely the most difficult part of setting up a farm is finding some Chorus Fruit to begin with. Players must kill the Enderdragon to unlock gateways to the outer End islands, where natural Chorus Fruit can be found growing on stalks.
How To Farm Chorus Fruit
Chorus Fruit has a 50% chance of being dropped when a Chorus Plant is destroyed. This means that in order to farm Chorus Fruit, players are actually going to be farming Chorus Plants. To do this, players are going to need just two things: Chorus Flowers and End Stone.
Chorus Flowers are the cubic, purple and white blocks that spawn as part of Chorus Plants on the End islands. When a player destroys one, the flower itself is dropped. Mining the bottom of the Chorus Plant will cause the entire plant to collapse, however the Chorus Flowers up top will not survive when this is done this way. This means that players must climb up to harvest those flowers directly.
Now, players need to just simply plant the Chorus Flower on End Stone. This can be done in any dimension, not just the End. They also do not require light or water to grow. As the Chorus Plant grows, it may sprout additional Chorus Flowers, which result in additional branches coming off and sprouting into other directions. Plants can grow up to 22 blocks tall, however, they will most often stop before a height of 16 blocks.
To tell whether or not a plant is completely done its growth, players can look at the age of the flower. Once a Chorus Flower has reached age five, its branch will stop growing. Age five can be identified based on the color of the flower, as it will lose almost all of its white color at this point, as seen below. Once a plant has reached this point, players should mine the bottommost Chorus Flower to instantly harvest the whole plant, then replant the flower.
What Is Chorus Fruit Used For?
When eaten, Chorus Fruit will recover 20% of a player's hunger, with a saturation of 2.4 In other words, Chorus Fruit is exactly as good of a source of energy as apples are, but much less difficult to farm. There is one caveat, however, and that is the fact that any time a Chorus Fruit is even, the player may be teleported up to eight blocks away. The game will make 16 attempts to find a safe place to teleport the player that is within eight blocks in any direction. If a spot is found, the player will be sent there.
Players cannot be teleported into water or lava, so no need to worry about sinking into magma, but players can be teleported through solid blocks, which not even Ender Pearls can do. If no safe landing spots are found after 16 random checks, the player will not be teleported. If players want to be teleported, they can continue to eat Chorus Fruit until they get a warp they want, as it can be eaten even when the hunger bar is full.
Chorus Fruit can also be smelted into Popped Chorus Fruit. Oddly enough, these can not be eaten, but instead can be used as a crafting ingredient for a few select blocks. Placing a Blaze Rod atop a Popped Chorus Fruit will create four End Rods, which can be used for lighting. Four Popped Chorus Fruit can also be arranged in a 2x2 square to create four Purpur Blocks, which are purple building blocks. These can be made into slabs and stairs with the standard crafting recipes, and combining two Purpur Slabs will create Purpur Pillar blocks.
