# Obtaining

**Wild Ube** can be rarely found hidden amidst the grasses of the **Verdant Growth**. Breaking a **Wild Ube** plant has a chance to drop an **Ube** item, which can be planted like a potato.

# Growing Ube

**Ube** is a sweet-potato-like plant that behaves similarly to the vanilla Minecraft **Potato**. However, it has one interesting twist. When it grows, **Ube** has a chance to spread to nearby **Farmland**. 

<Callout variant="warning">
		**Ube** can and will destroy other nearby crops as it spreads!
</Callout>


# Uses

**Ube** can be eaten raw, or cooked like a **Potato**. **Baked Ube** has a variety of uses. For example, it can be crafted into **Ube Cake** or **Ube Cookies**. These have similar properties to their normal equivalents.

**Baked Ube** can also be turned into purple dye, with two possible recipes. One produces it directly, whereas one uses raw copper as a mordant.
