Hello everyone only Draven here and today we’re doing another tutorial in Minecraft sky factory for today I’m going to be showing how to automate your farm using a harvester and a simple culinary generator there are different ways of automating it and additional things you can use to make your farm

Better and faster and grow crops quicker but right now I’m just showing the automation side of how to get it a little bit more self-sufficient if you find the video helpful and you like it please be sure to click like and most importantly please remember to smack

That subscribe button that way you can see all my tutorials and videos as they come out so today we’re going to need a couple of different things to get started with we’re gonna need some item cables and item cables are for iron nuggets and for brick stairs we’re also

Going to need a couple item extraction cables and that is a dropper in the center with for iron nuggets and a weighted pressure plate we’re gonna need one simple culinary generator which is four pieces of stone a block of redstone a furnace an iron hoe flint and steel

And a fishing rod and then lastly we’re going to need the harvester and the harvester is to emerald a diamond a dispenser two pieces of nether quartz and three obsidian blocks alright so the only other things you’ll need of course are some actual crops I’ve got us a

Little farm going and for this one I’ve got some corn carrots beet roots and wheat so were you a head and we’re gonna sit down a couple of our components first and I like to put it kind of in the middle because that way it’s going to be

Able to reach as much as possible the harvester does have a range we’re going to start with a harvester set that in the center and the circle is going to be facing your farm or your crops okay then on one side you’re going to put down your simple culinary generator next

We’re gonna take an item extraction cable and put it by shiting shift and right click place one on top and another one shift and right click on the opposite side and then we’re gonna put down a chest if you want double chest bigger chest anything you want that’s

Where your everything is gonna pack up now we’re also gonna put one item cable here on the side of this item extraction cable but we’re gonna wait on that first because there’s something else we’re going to do first now we want to get some of our crops we need to kind of

Decide which crop is going to be our fuel source and I’m gonna use beet roots so let me go ahead and harvest a beet root there we go I’ve got beet roots here now on the item extraction cable on top of the harvester we want to right

Click you want to put beetroot and we want to put whitelist that way only beet roots will go through the upper extraction cable and then on the right hand side or this side here we’re going to click on the extraction cable we’re gonna put beet roots but this one we’re

Gonna leave on blacklist because we want everything except the beet roots to go through this item extraction cable alright and now that we have got that set we want to click on the harvester itself you can choose between always on or requires redstone you can also hit

Preview if you do that it’ll show you the range as you can see by these outer blocks the range of the harvester that’s gonna harvest all crops inside that shaded square there and you can change the size to one three five seven nine eleven my 1130 my thirteen or the default fifteen

By fifteen once you have the size you want you can turn off the preview you don’t have to see that anymore so now that we have that set on always on and maximum size okay the last thing you want to do is we want to take that

Item cable and by holding shift and right-clicking we’ve now connected it to this so it’s gonna take a minute for it to actually get started I’m gonna throw a couple beetroot in there just to give it a starting power source here by putting that in there it transferred the

Beet roots into the simple culinary generator which is then using that to make energy which is going right back into the harvester which then comes to the harvester to harvest no I like to do area which is gonna use more energy but it’s gonna try to harvest everything as

You can see every crop just disappeared and all of these are transferring into here now the beetroot are transferring into here so the beetroot will continue to provide energy as it farms and harvests as they grow it will continue it will continue to harvest them and use

It as a power source while transferring all of your other crops and any seeds that it harvests into this chest and then you can use ways to connect this chest here to different inventories and such down the road but now at this point this is basically self-contained there

Really isn’t anything else you’re gonna have to do except come over here and occasionally empty out your chests of the different crops that you’ve harvest it’s been completely automated with just a few simple components all right so that’s all that’s involved with automating your farm using a

Harvester and if you have a very large farm you may need more than one harvester and that’s perfectly fine the areas can overlap I don’t run into any issues with that at all but this is a great way to kind of just get your crops going and then leave them and then come

Back and take out what you need as you need them all right so that is all for today’s tutorial I hope you found it helpful if you have any questions about this tutorial or any of my tutorials please feel free to put those down in the comments as well if you have any
