Hops Starter is a type of seed used to grow hops, a key ingredient for brewing beer. Planted in the summer, it takes 11 days to mature and then produces a hop every day thereafter. These plants are trellised, requiring the player to place them on farmable ground with space for the trellis. Hops can also be used in various cooking recipes or sold directly for profit, making them a versatile crop for players to cultivate.
