This Limited Edition item is available for 450 MC starting on July 22, 2010 and gives 1 xp when bought. The description reads “Contains 1 of 5 exclusive MC jungle themed surprises that can’t be found anywhere else!” True to its description, all items inside the Jungle Mystery Crate cannot be bought elsewhere.

What you get from the Jungle Mystery Crate is entirely random however, so there is no way to pick and choose, or to “increase” your chances. It is possible to receive the same item more than once if you purchase the crate more than once.

Island Paradise Jungle Mystery Crate

The potential prizes are:

- Black Panther
- Jungle Pillar
- Ganesh Statue
- Toucan Trees
- Jungle Wall Ruins

This crate is not the same object as the Mystery Crate or the Mystery Gift Box, nor will it give the same items as the other two.

Island Paradise Summer Mystery Crate

This crate is not the same object as the Mystery Crate or the Mystery Gift Box, nor will it give the same items as the other two. Everything found in the Summer Mystery Crate is a decoration.

Below you’ll find all the recipes currently available in the game. For details on how this works, see Cooking. If you think the chart below is altogether incorrect and you have a better explanation, read Cooking Investment.

For each recipe below, the following items are listed: Level of stove required, Time to cook, Ingredient Value if sold instead of cooked, Ingredient Cost to plant, Profit made by Cooking the ingredients instead of selling them, Total Profit made after considering the cost to plant any ingredient items. Explanatory notes are below the table.

Recipes can be upgraded by cooking a lot of the same one. You can check how many by hovering over the first star on the recipe you want to cook.

Stars mark the number of upgrades you have. Once you have gained the star, it turns yellow. Stars indicate how likely you are to make an “excellent” recipe. For each star you gain, you gain 10% in the chances you’ll make an excellent recipe, to the maximum of 3 stars, or 30%. An excellent recipe is one that gives you 1 additional xp when you harvest it. You can tell a recipe is an excellent one when you go to harvest it. The stove you have it cooking in will have large round sparkles rising from it along with the steam. Excellent recipes will not give you more coins. Thus they are not a separate item when you harvest it. It will stack with the other recipes.

Gaining a star will also give you experience. For the first star, you gain 25xp, and can make a post for your neighbors to give 10xp. For the second, you gain 50xp and your post gives 25xp. For the third and final star, you gain 100xp and your post gives 50xp.
