Obtained from
The Seedler in use.
The Seedler is a Hardmode, post-Plantera sword that, when swung, fires Seedler Nut projectiles which travel in an arc before exploding into four to seven Seedler Thorns upon hitting an enemy or after a duration of 0.33 to 2.17 seconds.[1] Seedler Thorns are unaffected by gravity and directed to hit enemies within a 125-tile radius, with each individual projectile being directed to target separate enemies if possible. Otherwise, Seedler Thorns are shot in randomized directions.[2] The Seedler has a 1/7 (14.29%) chance of being dropped by Plantera.
Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes
- The Seedler Nut arcs downwards rather quickly, whereas the Seedler Thorns are unaffected by gravity.
- The player is able to turn while swinging, as the Seedler is always swung in the direction of the cursor.
- The sword does not emit any light itself, but its projectiles do when they explode.
- Melee speed modifiers do not increase the fire rate of Seedler Nuts, however, they do affect the velocity of the Seedler Nuts as well as the Seedler Thorns that derive from it. Both projectiles can be affected by items that inflict additional debuffs (e.g. Magma Stone and its upgrades, flasks, etc.).
Tips
- Despite its comparably low damage (at the stage of the game it is obtained), the Seedler's unique projectiles can sometimes allow it to prove more useful than swords with a higher damage stat, such as the Terra Blade, especially with a good modifier.
- Attacking segmented, worm-type enemies (such as The Destroyer) or large numbers of enemies (such as during events, like the Solar Eclipse) can do immense amounts of damage due to the enemy-targeting, exploding projectiles. This is particularly effective in large, open areas, like on the Surface or in large caves.
Trivia
- The Seedler could be considered as the Hardmode upgrade of the Blade of Grass, as it can be obtained from a source in the Jungle, it has a lower use time, and it looks quite similar.
- Prior to 1.3.0.5, the Seedler could be obtained by fishing in the Jungle in Hardmode.[3] Obtaining one at the beginning of Hardmode, prior to defeating any bosses, would put players at a significant advantage. Therefore, it was removed from the Jungle's fishing loot.
- The Seedler Nut bears a close resemblance to a coffee bean.
History
- Desktop 1.3.0.5:
- Fixed a bug where projectiles dealt ranged damage instead of melee.
- Can no longer be obtained by fishing in the Jungle.
