(Add a section for netherite bonus viability calculations)
Line 229:
A soil bonus will allow the crop to grow faster than normal. Simply putting layers of clay underneath the farmland, in this case (and most) a max of 8 layers of clay will speed up growth by a decent amount. This example of carrots with 16 hours growth time and 8 layers of clay added underneath would amount to a little below 8 hours. over half of the original time, and so is very much worth it when needed in high quantities for production of XP.
 
== Netherite Tool Bonus'Bonuses ==
Netherite is made harder to produce on CivMC as mentioned elsewhere are therefore various tools have been given bonus'bonuses unique to their netherite variants. These bonus'bonuses are given by hidden ore and therefore you can't continually use them in the same chunk. Once a chunk is depleted you'll stop receiving the bonus'bonuses. This means you can't just keep placing blocks (for example sand) or continually grow trees in the same area and receive bonus'bonuses still.
 
=== Netherite Shovels: ===
Netherite shovels' are believed to confer a +40% bonus to various blocks based on testing performed by players. These blocks include sand and gravel. Testing on other blocks has not been completed as of writing.
 
This +40% bonus means that it is economically viable to use netherite shovels and receive greater profit than you would if you were to use diamond shovels once a certain price threshold is reached for different blocks (calculations done under the assumption that the shovel is enchanted with at least unbreaking 3):
Line 240:
 
* '''Diamond shovel vs. Netherite shovel repair cost:''' Taking the current mid-market values in Pavia of items used in the production of netherite: 6 diamonds per debris; 1.44 diamonds per Emerald block; 3.75 essence per diamond; and taking gold as a negligible cost we can compare the cost of production for a diamond shovel vs. a netherite shovel within their respective factories (this does not take the cost of the factories themselves into account). In the diamond shovel factory, 5 diamonds produce 15 shovels. Therefore, 1 shovel costs 0.333 diamonds to produce. On the other hand, in the netherite shovel factory, 4 diamonds + 2 netherite ingots will produce 6 netherite shovels. Therefore, 1 shovel costs 0.666 diamonds + 0.333 netherite ingots. Take the production costs of a netherite ingot and calculate the equivalent value of each in diamonds and you get that the cost is 77.97 diamonds. Therefore, the cost of 1 netherite shovel in diamonds is 26.66 diamonds. Therefore the difference in cost per repair shovel is ~26.33 diamonds.
* '''Glass Bottles as an example:''' We will use glass bottles here as an example of an end product whose production is made easier by netherite shovels as they are used in the production of xp and are therefore the most likely product to hold value. Netherite shovels confer a 40% chance of a bonus drop when breaking sand. Therefore, we can compare the amount of sand produced by a diamond shovel with unbreaking 3 per "full" use (6248 sand) to the amount produced by a netherite shovel with unbreaking 3 + a 40% bonus (11379.2 sand). This then translates to 12496 glass bottles per diamond shovel and 22758.4 glass bottles per netherite shovel as the basic smelter factory will smelt sand:glass at a 1:2 ratio. Or in terms of CS (64 compacted items): 3.05CS per diamond shovel "full" use or 5.56CS per netherite shovel "full" use. So we have a difference of ~ +2.51CS glass bottles per "full" use of a netherite shovel as compared to a diamond shovel. When you buy an enchanted diamond shovel it will usually have either 4 or 5 possible repairs during it'sits lifetime. This translates to either 5 "full" uses or 6 "full" uses. If the shovel has 4 repairs then the difference, in upfront cost of the shovel + 4 repairs, between diamond and netherite will be 183.27 diamonds. Similarly, if the shovel has 5 repairs the difference in upfront cost + 5 repairs is 209.60 diamonds. The difference in amount of glass bottles produced between diamond and netherite for a shovel with 4 repairs is ~12.53CS and for a shovel with 5 repairs ~15.03CS. Therefore, to cover the difference in costs between diamond shovels and netherite shovels a CS of glass bottles must be valued at ~14.63 diamonds/CS for a netherite shovel with 4 repairs and ~13.94 diamonds/CS for a netherite shovel with 5 repairs. As long as the mid-market costs remain accurate and glass bottles are valued at more than either of these values (depending on the number of repairs your shovel has) then it is more profitable to use netherite shovels than diamond shovels.
