Creating an Automated Sugar Cane Farm in Minecraft Java 1.20
In this episode, we will be exploring how to create an automatic sugar cane farm in Minecraft. Sugar cane is a versatile resource that can be used to obtain paper, which is essential for creating books and enchantments. By automating the sugar cane farming process, players can save time and effort in obtaining this valuable resource.
Materials Needed
Before we begin, let’s gather the materials needed for this project. For a three-story high farm, you will need:
- 10 blocks of your choice (e.g., stone, wood)
- 1 chest
- 1 hopper
- 1 bucket of water
- 4 pistons
- 4 observers
- Sugar cane
- Glass blocks
- Redstone dust
Building the Farm
Start by breaking a 10-block long section of the ground. Place a chest and a hopper on one end, and a block of your choice on the other end. Next, place pistons facing upwards on the blocks, and observers facing towards the pistons. Plant the sugar cane on top of the observers, making sure to stack them four blocks high.
Surround the farm with a three-block high glass wall, leaving a gap for the water to flow through. Connect the pistons and observers with redstone dust, creating a mechanism that activates the pistons to break the sugar cane when it reaches its maximum height. This prevents the sugar cane from bouncing around and ensures a smooth farming process.
If you want to add more floors to your farm, simply repeat the same steps below the existing ones. Make sure to cover each floor with blocks and connect the pistons and observers with redstone dust. You can customize the height and size of your farm according to your preferences.
Expanding and Collecting
Once your automated sugar cane farm is set up, you can start collecting the sugar cane as it grows. You can also expand the farm by adding more floors or extending it to the side. Remember to leave a corridor for easy access and visibility. The possibilities are endless!
With this automated sugar cane farm, you can save time and effort in obtaining paper and other valuable resources in Minecraft. Enjoy the convenience of having a self-sustaining farm that provides you with the materials you need for enchantments and other crafting projects. Happy farming!
