Wheat in Minecraft is a good resource. Of course, it is rarely used when creating any things. Mostly wheat is used to make bread and cakes. But how to grow it? How to make an automatic wheat farm in Minecraft? The answers to these questions will be in this article!
Where to get wheat seeds?
Wheat seeds, when compared with other crops, are the easiest to get. An inconspicuous grass that grows everywhere is a source of seeds. When the grass is destroyed (it is recommended to do it by hand), wheat seeds fall out. Drop chance is 1/15. For the first farm, you need to get at least 15-20 seeds of wheat, then to make an automatic wheat farm in Minecraft.
Simple wheat farm
Still, for an automatic farm you need a lot of seeds, and if you get them by hand using the destruction of grass, it will take a lot of time. But it is necessary and there is something in this period. Therefore, the best solution would first be to create a simple, manual wheat farm. In addition, much more seeds come out when harvesting wheat than when destroying grass. So we need:
- Any hoe. There is no difference, it can be both iron and wooden.
- 10-15 seeds of wheat.
- A bit of a fence.
- Bucket.
- Light source (light stone or torch).
- Flat field.
So, first you need to protect our future farm. The fact is that any mobs can trample your garden. The next step is to dig water ditches, since wheat cannot grow on a dry bed. Pour water into the ditches with a bucket. We plow the field next to the ditches and plant wheat. Next, we make a path from any block so that it is more convenient to collect wheat. Well, lighting, as without it. Wheat cannot grow if the lighting level is lower than 9. You can, of course, put ordinary torches, but if you want to do everything beautifully, you can use lamps or a photocamera. If you want to save space, you can make small ditches. One block of water moistens 4 blocks next to it. That is, you can put a block of water in the center and already near it in a radius of 4 blocks using a hoe to plow the ground. Such a farm will provide an opportunity to quickly collect seeds for an automatic wheat farm in Minecraft.
Automatic Wheat Farm
A simple farm, of course, is good, and the costs are small, but these are small volumes. You can increase wheat production and bread production from it using an automatic wheat farm. Minecraft can harvest water. For example, if you have wheat growing and you put a block of water next to the field, then the water will flow, thereby washing off all the wheat. Almost all automatic farms operate on this basis. First, a simple wheat farm is made, but in the form of a slide, so that in the future water will wash off the entire crop in only one line. Then a block of water is placed, but it is blocked. And the block is controlled by a sticky piston. And so it turns out an automatic farm in Minecraft, which can produce good volumes. Of course, the use of such a farm in a single player game is a little inappropriate, since there is nowhere to put so much wheat. However, if you play in multiplayer mode, then such use of the automatic wheat farm in Minecraft will be an excellent source of income for you, because wheat can be sold!
