To sow the block into farmland, simply right-click a dirt or grass block. After converting the blocks into farmland, make sure they are irrigated with water and then plant seeds. Once these seeds turn into crops, they can be harvested by right-clicking once again. Farms can be semi-automatic so that you only need to press a button or flick a lever for harvesting. However, they can also be fully automatic farms for crops like sugar cane, cactus, and the like where you don’t have to destroy in order for them to regrow. br There are so many different aspects to Minecraft. There is building, mining, but another aspect of Minecraft is farming. Farming is a great way to gather food to keep your hunger up. In this tutorial, you are going to learn the basics of farming, a semi-automatic farm, and a fully automatic farm. br ContentsHow to Start Farming in MinecraftStep 1 SowingStep 2 HarvestingHow to Automate Farming in MinecraftSemi-Automatic FarmingFully-Automatic FarmingFAQsQ What are the best farms to make in Minecraft Q What is the most efficient way to farm in Minecraft Q How much water does a farm need in Minecraft Q What is the fastest-growing crop in Minecraft Q How many minutes does it take for wheat to grow in Minecraft Q Do trees need water in Minecraft Conclusion br br How to Start Farming in Minecraft br Step 1 Sowing br When starting a farm in Minecraft, you first need to know how to create farmland. To do this, you need to sow dirt. Sowing dirt is very easy. The first thing you need to do is get a hoe. Hoes are really easy to craft in Minecraft. There are six hoes in Minecraft, but the only difference between them is durability. They don’t make better farmland so all you really need to do is craft a wooden hoe. To do this, you need two sticks and two wooden planks. It is really easy to get wooden planks. To get wooden planks, all you need to do is punch a tree and get oak wood. You can then turn one piece of oak wood into four wooden planks in your crafting table. br br Now that you have gotten your wooden planks, you can place them in the crafting table. Make sure to stack them on top of each other like in the pattern below. This will enable you to craft sticks. br br Now that you have your two sticks and two wooden planks, all you have to do is combine them together in a crafting table. br br Now that you have your wooden hoe, all you have to do is right-click a dirt or grass block. This will sow the block into farmland. Remember that you need water around the farmland in order to keep the farmland fertile. br br It is recommended to get a stone hoe so that your hoe doesn’t run out of durability while you are farming. To craft a stone hoe, all you have to do is get two blocks of cobblestone and combine them with two sticks in a crafting table. br Step 2 Harvesting br Harvesting crops in Minecraft is really easy. All you have to do is right-click farmland with seeds and this will plant the seeds. After a set amount of time, the seeds will grow into full plants. Once this happens, all you need to do is is break the plant. Breaking the plant will drop the finished product plus some extra seeds so you can replant them. There are so many different types of plants that you can farm on farmland. There are seeds that turn into wheat, beetroots, carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, and melons. br How to Automate Farming in Minecraft br Semi-Automatic Farming br In Minecraft, there are two different types of farms. The first is a semi-automatic farm. This is considered semi-automatic because it requires some labor, but only like the press of a button or the flick of a lever. br Image via Pinterest br Once you have done this, some sort of mechanism will trigger and destroy the crops. Then, all you have to do is replant the seeds. This can be done with items like dispensers that will shoot out water and destroy the crops. br Fully-Automatic Farming br The second type of farm is a fully-automatic farm. A fully automatic farm is for crops that you don’t have to destroy in order for them to regrow. Some crops can be sugar cane, cactus, melons, or pumpkins. br br These blocks mostly utilize observers to get the job done. Once an observer detects a block or entity in front of it, it will trigger a Redstone signal that will lead to pistons and destroy the crops around them. br As the sugarcane grows to reach the observers, a pulse is sent to the pistons which breaks the sugarcane. The drops are collected by a hopper in a minecart, traveling underneath the sugarcane. br br The design is very simple. As you can see, the observers are connected with redstone which sends the pulse down onto the cobblestone blocks. Because an adjacent block is powered the pistons will break the sugarcane. You can also replicate this design with bamboo. br FAQs br Q What are the best farms to make in Minecraft br A. The best farms to make in Minecraft food-wise are cow farms.
