Must-Have Minecraft Starter Farms – Don’t Miss Out!

When you start a brand new Minecraft survival world there’s a few things you need to do break your hand on the nearest tree create a crafting table from four planks so you can make stuff give a cow a good slap so you can eat maybe find a village so you can steal

All their stuff but you’re going to need resources to progress in your world I’m going to show you seven really simple starter Farms that will get you going fast let’s do this now some people watching might know some or even all of these farms and that’s fantastic let me

Know in the comments below how many you actually knew and if you knew all seven let me know some other awesome starter Farms that you use too and to prove how easy these are I’m going to do them all in survival first Up’s the expandable bamboo farm this one’s dead easy and

This is what you will need for one of the modules but you can expand it to make it a lot wider than this bamboo is now a hugely important thing to get in Minecraft because it makes different blocks and you can also make scaffolding it and even use it as fuel make yourself

A 3×1 hle stick a double chest in there and shift click a hopper into that hole grab yourself your mud and shift click the mud on top of the hopper get one 2 three and four stairs all upside down around like that then on the back of it

Here grab yourself a solid block and a piston facing out then get one glass two Glass three Glass Four glass five glass and six glass I’ll tell you how you can convert this into a sugar cane Farm in just a second on the back of your piston

Place Another block and then once you’ve got that block there stand on it and place your Observer so the little Redstone bum is facing backwards onto this block when it Redstone farts what you’ll find is it lights up this little bit of redstone just like that then get

Another glass there another glass there and another glass there now you want to put a final glass on top of this so you’re going to have to use one of those blocks that you’ve just dug out but before you do get yourself your bamboo on top of your mud like that that’s then

Going to start to grow temporary block there glass on top and then you can get rid of your block there and you’ve got one completely functional Farm now when this bamboo grows up in front of that Redstone face on the Observer that’s going to lay out the Redstone fart which

Lights up this red stone here that charges this block which fires the Piston that knocks out the bamboo underneath the face so you get two bits of bamboo dropping down into your chest like that bamboo grows quite quickly so you’ll find you’ll get quite a decent amount of bamboo in not that long

Especially ese if you expand this out so you got lots of bamboo next to each other if you want to turn this into a sugarcane farm all you need is three extra blocks a bit of sugar cane and a bucket of water around the back of your

Farm Place one block there one block there and then what you want to do is you want to hit your water bucket and water log that step then place a third block there to trap in that water all you then need to do is place the

Sugarcane on top of that mud put the glass back so you can get it there and you’ve got a fully functional sugar cane farm and again you can expand this as much much as you want to any width next up a really simple tree farm this Farm

Works best with Oak but it also work with Spruce and Birch too this one’s even more simple this is all you’re going to need and again this one can be made to any size you want depending on how much would you want now I’ve suggested that there are six slots which

Is why I add six bits of dirt you can have as many bits of dirt as you want the more bits of dirt you have the more tree you’re going to grow but for every bit of dirt you do need a sapling and you need a slab your dirt sections need

To be on offset diagonal so imagine this is your first one you come across two and up one across two and up one again from the first one across one and down two and then you start the same diagonal pattern so you get something that looks

A little bit like that come to any one of them and climb up six blocks 1 2 3 4 5 and six and then place a cobblestone slab on top of it it doesn’t have to be Cobblestone it can be any stone really what you want is something that’s not

Wood then grab a temporary block and put a block there a block there and another block there on top of that third one place your slab and then do it again put a block there a block there and a block there and on this one place your slab

And continue to do that for every row so you’ve got a slab above every block of dirt down on the floor and once you’ve done that just remove all of those temporary blocks even the ones coming all the way down from the floor grab a torch and place one torch on each column

And consider this to be one column so Place one there one there and one there that’s going to make sure that there is light even when the tree is grown and you won’t be surprised by any creepers or something lurking amongst the leaves and then all that’s left to do is put a

Sapling on top of each block these saplings will grow but they’ll never grow into the giant oak trees which makes them really easy to harvest because those slabs will limit the height that they can get to this Farm can get you a lot of wood very quickly

Especially when it gets big let’s do another one next up the chicken and egg Farm now I know know that chicken isn’t the best food in the game that’s a golden carrot and beef is also better however getting a chicken farm set up is definitely the fastest Meat Farm you can

Get and all you need is this just like the bamboo Farm you are going to dig a 3X one hole and you’re going to place a chest in there and a hopper right in the bottom of it then you’re going to stick one of those blocks you just dug out and

Put it on top of that Hopper that is a temporary block we’re then going to place a block there a block there a block there and then an upside dine step right here then we’re going to place a step there a step there and around the

Back a step there and a step there we they going to come on top we’re going to get out that temporary block and we’re going to place slabs on top of all of these there so you’ve got greater than a one block drop over that Hopper that’s really important otherwise your chickens

Are going to escape at this point you can lure a couple of chickens in with seed but you can also get eggs and just lob eggs in and hope that eventually what you get is a couple of chickens coming into your hole there you go I’ve

Got a couple there I’m just going to keep using these eggs now I’ve got to wait for those to grow up but that’s only going to take 10 minutes once they’ve grown up grab your seed and hit one seed on each of them they’re going

To have a love in and produce a baby chicken which is absolutely fantastic but if I have to rely on these guys breeding to fill up my breeder I might have done cows because cow’s food is slightly better well the blooming X cow’s food obviously I mean steak but

The thing about chickens is they so lay eggs so the eggs is going to get collected inside your farm which you can then lob in and get potentially more chickens that way as well and that accelerates getting lots and lots of chickens into your farm and once you’ve

Got 24 chickens in this 1 by one space something it really strange happens because each extra chicken causes one to die which means it collects up chicken and also feathers down in your chest and you can do that by breeding them with seeds or even just throwing more eggs in

And when you get a new chicken what happens that is going to cause one of those chickens to die and it will collect that up in your chest just like before I’ve already got eight chicken and Seven Feathers which I can then cook up to get myself a decent meal next up

Lava this one is a dodle and lava is a really important resource both for making farms and also for fuel for furnaces one bucket of lava can smell items in a furnace and this is all you’re going to need for this farm and by the way you can make it so it’s only

One unit or many many units this one’s three units first off place your Cadron down so I’m just going to place those three Cadron then on top of one of the Cadron it doesn’t matter which one place a temporary block just like that then come up on top of that and what you’re

Going to do is you’re going to place a dripstone block there doesn’t have to be dripstone but I think it works just simply because it is a dripstone based farm and then place two more like that you are then going to come and get your temporary block back because you’re

Going to need that again in a moment place your temp temporary block down on top of one of those dripstones and then get your glass place a glass there a glass there and a glass right there and then come down another two there and there grab your temporary block right

Back again move it to the other end because you’re also going to need to place your last glass on the end of that get your temporary block back just one more time and then you’re going to get your first lava bucket in there your second lava bucket in there and your

Third lava bucket in there that will give you three m buckets which is quite important for when you collect the lava that you farmed you’ll notice we’ve got lava dripping through these blocks like stink but we want to channel it into the Cadron so we’re going to place a

Dripstone there a dripstone there and a dripstone there and all that lava is going to start to drip into the cauldron and eventually that is going to fill up with lava which you can then collect with your bucket the more cauldrons you’ve got the more lava you’re going to

Get when you get a full cauldron right click on it and that will collect up your lava bucket just like that so simple next up we’ve got a stone generator yeah I know you can argue you just get loads of cobblestone if you go mining but this is really handy if you

Want to AFK mine and get lots and lots of resources or maybe you’re playing a modded game like Sky Block and this is the only way to get your Cobblestone if you have efficiency and haste on your pickaxe however I would make it five deep not just three deep this is what

You need for the standard size generator the pickaxe is definitely needed but it’s not really part of the ingredients and the item frame is optional but it’s good to have something to store your pickaxe in place down your chest so it is facing this way when you open it up

You’re then going to get your Hoppers and you’re going to shift click a hopper into the back of the chest then into the back of the hopper and then into back of the hopper again so you’ve got a row of three Hoppers if you’ve got efficiency five and haste on your pickaxe five

Hoppers is a must grab one of your blocks and place it on top of the hopper using shift click this is temporary but we need it because we want to place our wooden block on the back of that then grab back that block it’s probably going

To get go in the hopper so retrieve it from the chest like that then get your block to the side on each side of your wood and then you’re going to climb on top of your Hopper and you’re going to place stairs going towards the centers

Of the hopper on both sides like this you’re then going to place a solid block on the end of each step exactly like that and you’re going to get your sign and place it on top of that and you can place on here I don’t know

Generator in case you forget what it is all about then come inside here and place one of your water buckets there and one of your water buckets there that’s going to create an infinite water source in the middle but the water won’t flow out because of that sign fill up

Your buckets again from that water log that one water log that one water log that one and water log that one and you’ve got lots of water source blocks all over the place now then grab another block and place it on top of those steps

All the way to the end on top of the wooden block and then all the way along here as well so you’ve got kind of a high wall you’ve got one block left which you are going to place right there climb on top of your farm and you might

As well just refill your water buckets here because well why not and then you’re going to get in the middle your lava bucket and you’re going to place it against this middle block here bang like that you only need the one if you want to you could even refill your water if

You’re fast enough I wasn’t then slab up over the top just to avoid that lava spitting out any of its hotness on top of you or anything that might be around your farm you can then place an item frame on the side and stick your pickaxe there ready for when you want to

Generate some Cobblestone or if you’re using a silk touch pick this will give you actual stone blocks rather than Cobble I’ll show you it works grab your pickaxe stand right up against your chest here and just dig through your blocks exactly like that if you do dig

Through the blocks quickly and there is the tiniest little bit of lag that stops that lava from coming through the wood at the end won’t be dug through by the pit cuz it takes that much longer to dig wood than it does to dig Stone when you

Use a pickaxe and all of your Cobble is collected in the chest you can get loads of Cobble really fast with this one and you can design it in a million different ways so as it fits your base farm six is a cactus farm now Cactus can be used in

A number of different Farms it can also be used to make green dye plus it can be used to make a boatload of XP for you as well you need a few more blocks for this build but most of those are structural blocks there got nearly two stacks of

Glass you don’t have to use glass you could use any block you like but I like to see into it the first thing we’re going to do is dig a trench that is seven across that is five six and seven and then we’re going to dig out a toe

Like that and then in this toe and the last of that trench we’re going to dig it down one extra block so put in the double chest there place in a hopper shift clicked into that we’re then going to collect up these blocks here because they’re going to be useful as temporary

Blocks a little bit later on then get our stairs place them upside down facing it outward so you can still open up that chest but it creates a permanent channel right here and then grab yourself your Oak trapo doesn’t have to be Oak be anything you want and place it there

Just to protect your chest so nothing falls into it we’re then going to grab glass and we’re going to place a row of glass in front all the way to that bit of wood there we’re going to miss a corner we’re going to go 1 2 3 4 5 miss

The corner 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 miss the corner 1 2 3 4 5 we’re then going to hop in side and we’re going to place a sign on each one of these blocks right here we’re then going to grab those temporary blocks that we dug out to make that

Trench we’re going to come to the corner and then come one in and place a block there miss a gap place a block there miss a gap place a block miss a gap there place a block and the same again and the same again we should find that

In the corner again we’ve got a block in the way we’re then going to get our water bucket we’re going to place a water bucket there and a water bucket there we’re going to refill our water buckets from there we’re going to come to the next one and the next one place a

Water bucket in the corner and a water bucket right there this gives us permanent water sources all the way along we can refill our water buckets again because we want to put another one right there to give a water Channel going over that Hopper right there we’re

Then going to get ourself a glass block or whatever structural block you’re using and we’re going to place it on top of all of these temporary blocks like this and at this point we put another two rows of glass on the outside we can then grab our sand and place a sand

Block on each of those glass blocks there and we can now remove these temporary blocks underneath the glass be careful that you only remove the temporary blocks and you don’t accidentally smash that glass or take out whatever block it is you’ve got underneath that because the sand will

Fall into the water and you’ll have to start again then place two temporary blocks on top of the middle two pieces of sand come to one side grab your fence is and on the top place a fence there and open it a fence there and open it

Come around the outside to the other side place a fence there open it fence there and open it we’re then going to do another row of glass all the way around and at this point you can remove these temporary blocks cuz you don’t need them anymore and on each sand you are going

To place one of your Cactus and once they’re removed you’re going to do a one more row of glass and I’ve just realized you are going to be five blocks short so make sure you add five more glass blocks or whatever block it is you’re using to your inventory right at the beginning

Now every time one of those Cactus grows you’re going to find that pops off because it doesn’t want to be next to the fence gate and it will fall into the water which will fall into the water at the front which will run it all the way

To the hopper which will put it into your chest and finally we have got this XP farm yeah this is a crazy XP farm and it’s also an auto smelter for anything that you need to cook up so you could swap these furnaces for smokers or BL GL

Furnaces as well if you wanted to again this could be as wide as you like but for a three station farm this is all you’re going to need Place three double chests in a row exactly like that then grab yourself some Hoppers and shift click into the sides of them like that

Then grab three furnaces and shift click those on top of those Hoppers you’re then going to grab more Hoppers shift click those into the back of those furnaces and then grab more Hoppers and shift click those into the top of those furnaces that’s a lot of Hoppers I know

Maybe you should try my iron farm that I brought out really recently then you can make all of these Hoppers the link is in the description below at the back end of your farm you’re going to shift click onto these Hoppers three times so make sure that you get three separate chests

On the back there and then come on here and shift click onto this furnace with a block cuz you want to be able to jump on that block and shift click again lots of shift clicking one two and three you can then come and you can remove that block

And then you’re going to shift click again you guessed it one two and three onto the face of those furnaces that is the end of your farm easy isn’t it these chests at the back are for your fuel so whatever you’re going to use to fuel your furnaces whether that’s coal

Whether that is kelp whether that is lava buckets that be created in the lava Farm already that is what goes in there there chest on top of what you’re going to smell whether it’s iron or gold that you’ve got from mining or maybe it’s the cactus that you got from your farm

Because you want green diet or loads of XP let me show you how to get that I’m coming around I’m going to place one lava bucket into each of these chests at the back you can see they instantly go through and end up in the bottom of my

Furnace ready to fuel it I’m going to put three stacks of cactus into the top of each of these and then I’m going to see what happens cuz I’ve got now my Cactus smelting through you can see it’s running through once that arrow goes across you’re going to have your thing

Come here and then it’ll be instantly sucked out you can see just a flash of it into this chest right here you also get the bucket back which is kind of Handy right cuz those buckets that’s three iron you want those and I’m going to leave it until they are all smelted

Through they’ve all smelted through now you can see there are three stacks of green dye in each of these chests right now of course in standard plank fashion I only put one lava bucket in with it being 100 things and three lots of 64 I needed to put in two sorry about that

Completely lost my head standard now to get the experience I need to take something out of the furnace and I can’t because it’s already melted through so I’m going to put one coal in there one cactus in there and I’m going to place that switch down I’m going to do the

Same here one Co on Cactus place the switch down same in here one Co on Cactus and place the switch down what happens then is when it goes through it doesn’t go through to the chest it stays exactly there and then I can pick it out

You can see right now I’ve got exactly no experience let’s see what three lots of three stacks of cactus gives me go into one take that out that takes me to 11 levels of XP take that out and take that out that’s taking me to 20 levels

Of x XP in fact 20 and A2 and that was only nine stacks of cactus and that is why you need a cactus farm so there you have seven really super simple Farms that you can build with very very few resources in survival very easily quite close to the start of your Minecraft

World depending on what resources are available in the local caves and the local area I really recommend you have a go at these ones because they’re going to give you a really excellent start in life which means you’ll be killing the ender dragon before you know it do

Comment below and let me know if any other starter Farms that you think are absolutely amazing I’d love to hear from you and everybody else go down in the comments and thank those people that have given you other ideas as well it’s really worth it thanks loads for

Watching all the way through to the end and I look forward to seeing you in another video you take it easy now Bye
