Comment what tutorials you want next! FAQ: The bonemeal goes back into the despenser, why? -it should take some time before the extra starts to flow into the chest; just wait. The farm is running out of bonemeal and stopping, what do I do? -check if you have the lever on the front flicked to the position where the redstone torch is off. If it is in that position, you are in “moss mode” (meaning you are also collecting the moss), and you need to flick the lever again untill the redstone torch is on. The farm won’t start, why? -check if you built your redstone correctly, if it’s not that, you can try to “jumpstart” the farm by breaking the moss block above the observer (I believe one up and one left from the middle). What version is this made for? -this farm was designed for Java, so no guarantees it will work on bedrock. If you want to test if it will work on bedrock, I would suggest building it in creative first. Does this farm work on servers? -yes and no. Sometimes because of the lag (in tps) of the server, the farm might stop, so it’s anyones game as to wether or not it will work on your server. Hope this helps!
also dont forget to light and mob proof the upper part with torch or something else. because i found hostile mob can randomly spawn at the top of stone block.
Troubleshooting: When The dispenser isn't growing your moss: Swap the redstone torch at 0:46 to the nearest side of that block. To the right, away from the Hopper. Then place a redstone torch on the dispenser itself (break the block above you to expose it and the stone above) then just take the redstone torch off. it will become automatic. If you run out of bonemeal and it stops. put more bonemeal INSIDE the dispenser, then throw a torch on it, then take it off. The torch activates the dispenser, then the pulse of the circuit reactivates it, making it automatic.
Just a quick disclaimer to the build, the machine will have to operate for a few hours until it generated enough bonemeal to sustain itself, then it will start putting bonemeal in the chest. If you want to speed the process up you will have to put a stack of bonemeal in the lower dropper aswell.
@@tomiell9 Yes i was kinda baffled at first aswell, but then i noticed that the redstone output of the comparator isnt strong enough to turn the redstone torch off, so i checked and its about 40 bonemeal. If that amount is in the lower dropper the machine starts putting bonemeal into the chest.
@@Sebalou622 My bad then. Tbf i think you should mention that somewhere, you know for the ppl that don't know all that much about redstone. Props to the farm tho, its something i never would've thought of.
You sir, are a *hero.* Three different tutorials, and only this fourth one by you actually works. Everything else required redstone ticking so fast that the server I'm playing on refused to register it. Thank you for the simple, *usable* farm.
I've been using this farm for several weeks now and here's what I've learned: Rates: I get 344 bonemeal per hour if Cobblestone does not generate. Cobblestone: I found that in the line of repeaters, if you set the one on the end to just one extra click of delay, I now almost never get Cobblestone. The rate drops down to 325 per hour but you don't have to babysit it. I also noticed that when it does generate, its on the very ends, so my guess the water traveling from the source block in the middle of the stream doesn't always make it over before the lava falls. I believe it could be fixed by extending the water area on each side to make room for a source block on each end. That might help ensure that water always refills before the lava can fall even with lag on servers. I have not tested that though. Moss block collection: I routed some drops horizontally outwards and over a moss block sorter, everything else goes back to the hoppers and when the collection system for the blocks is full, any additional blocks don't fall through so they go back into the farm. I could never run out of moss at this point! Upgrading: I have three of these total, and essentially it seems the best way to expand is just to build additional full units either on top or next to each other with the excess bonemeal from all farms just directed to one place with hoppers. I think trying to upgrade a single farm on its own would have diminished returns for the effort. Thank your for the build, it's probably my favorite farm! 🤘
I actually used the farm for a while now, and I don't have any of the problems you describe. In about 2 days of operating it, I never had a single cobblestone forming, and the water always flushes the entire moss content into my hoppers. The yield is not that great though, 300+ bone meal (an hour) is barely enough to operate my tree farm for even 10 minutes, which means I either need to replicate it a few times verticaly or mine fossils by hand in the nether. The first option is kinda laggy over time, which means I'm bound to mining by hand to use bone meal in any bigger industrial way whatsoever.
Great video. Super easy to understand and you get through it quickly. If your farm stops working and you find that the dispenser is out of bonemeal, make sure you have the moss lever off and that the hopper you place at 2:04 goes into the bottom dropper and not directly into the bonemeal chest. The only hopper that should go into the bonemeal chest is the one underneath the bottom dropper. If you accidentally point the first hopper directly into the chest, it can't refill the dispenser.
I built 4 of these vertically all layers connected with hoppers and 4 double chests at the bottom as collection system. 4 layers Produces me almost one bone meal per second, thanks for the design, it's very efficient if you stack it multiple times! And It's also easy to scale it up. Sometimes it starts making cobble but i just mine the cobble out and bone meal the moss if that happens and its running again refilling the missing cobble blocks with stone. Also put a chunk loader there ;) 5/5 farm!
This is the best moss/bone meal farm! I built two of them in my world and I had more bone meal than I could ever use. If you replace the trapdoors with pistons it will work on Bedrock Edition too.
Kept stopping after one cycle at first, toggled the repeater coming out of the observer a few times, and just kept mining the observer block if it got stuck and it ended up running on it's on finally, just needed some coddling I guess, ended up not changing any repeaters, so on idea what helped in the end.. sick machine though. I love just watching it chug away.
It actually keeps stopping after one cycle for me as well. Tried mining the observer block to kickstart it but for some reason after 1 cycle the dispenser won't feed the moss block any more bone meal to keep the process going.
fantastic farm design and tutorial!! i've tried out a couple moss farm designs in the past, but this one is my favorite. will definitely be using this in my hardcore series! :)
heads up! I needed a very efficient moss farm but just needed the bonemeal to be constant, so i moved the chest for the moss right next to the composters and made the hopper for the bonemeal connect straight into the dropper at the bottom, works perfectly! i still havent had a problem with running out of bonemeal ever
If the farm is not filling up the chest for you and the bone meal is going into the dispenser instead, you need 41 bone meal in the bottom dispenser before it'll start sending it to the chest. You can check it by adding bone meal to the bottom dispenser until the torch turns off and allows the extra to drop through. Then you know you've got it primed correctly. I'd start off with 41 if you can instead of 16. It'll still work though either way.
If you're in the early game and don't wanna get 40 stone for the filler you can just fill it with dirt and the moss will replace it just as well as stone, then the stone generators will replace it.
Great video, awesome simple tutorial for a farm that more than gets the job done. Just found your channel and I think I'm gonna come to you for more farms. Also, the reason I didn't click on this video first and instead went to some other tutorials (that I didn't end up using) is because it's titled AFK farm and I thought it was a farm that would require an afk player, maybe consider calling future farms automatic in the title, maybe that'll get more clicks? Again, great content, keep it up!
Works a charm. East to follow tutorial, cheers very much. Small tweak you can make it have an upside down stair next to the dispenser so you can access it from underneath to put the bonemeal in to start or to refill if you choose to have it just create moss for a while.
to everyone whose farm stops after one cycle, its important thyat you build the platform from stone, i did that and it started working and to restart the machine in case it stops, just mine the block abover the observer (it is diagonal to the moss block in the centre) and quickly replace it
@@dandooni1326 moss blocks cannot spread on most blocks but do spread on stone, so make sure you copy the exact same blocks used in the tutorial. in case you built the full machine and it doesn't work, to restart it you've to update the observer. so mine the block above the observer and quickly replace it hope you understand!
I love the farm! I noticed that some rows were never being broken by the pistons though on mine (not sure if that's just a me problem or not) so I added a row of pistons on the opposite side too with furnaces behind them all on both sides.
your video is great, thank you. someone else posted a video of this exact farm, but neglected to put a torch at the very bottom part near the comparator and my build wouldnt work. luckily I found this vid and its works now. thanks bud
Hey, the farm worked good until the bonemeal in the dropper ran out, then it just stopped working completely, the redstone is still blinking and everything but it's not collecting any bonemeal which I want, I put 3 stacks of bonemeal after it ran out (the dropper), do I have to wait for an hour or two or what do I do?
If it ran out that means you had it on moss mode, or the initial amount of Bonemeal you put in wasn’t enough. It will take an hour or two to start generating extra Bonemeal yes.
all other bone meal farms are way over complicated and not efficent/ pain in the a** to get working. this is the most simple and effective one ive seen yet im gonna try it out!
if you have time you can fill up the dispencer with more bonemeal to make the production faster. as of 1.16 you can easily find bone blocks in the nether
I just built this in java 1.19.2. It runs alright, but even with the moss collector locked so everything washes into the composters, it generates less bone meal than it consumes. It works as a moss and azalea farm, but you need to supply bone meal because it is not self-sustaining.
Instead of the trap doors, u replace the blocks below the water sorce block with dispensers and place buckets in it, and the redstone for activing all of the dispensers is easy to connect😃 Also Merry Christmas :)
@@fishingboss503 so I did this (hopefully I did it right) but my water stays running for too long and it shuts off the farm. I don't know which part of the Redstone business controls that. Maybe someday I will understand Redstone lol
@@fishingboss503 do you have to constantly break that block? If I wait til the water shuts off and bonemeal the center myself it starts running again, but the point of the farm was so it didn't have to be babysat.
I did this in a realm on 1.18.2 and it seems to be working just fine on my end. I loved the tutorial and have seen some nasty comments, thank you for the tutorial
thanks for the farm. it works great! it was quick to build and you made it easy to follow, except for one thing: you didn't wait long enough to see if blocks were in the right position. other than that, it was a good tutorial.
works well, easy to build. Had an issue where the stone wasnt created fast enough, so I put all of the repeaters fully and it works now. As small critique, please use other words or cut out the word "then", you use it every other sentence and it's a bit distracting when you start noticing it xD
This farm works smoothly for me on Java 1.20.1. If your farm runs out of bonemeal (all bonemeal goes into chest instead) even in Bonemeal-mode make sure you use two dropper and one dispenser 0:26 ! Made the mistake and used 3 dispenser and spent an hour trying to find the error...
At last, one that works! I have tried 2 other designs before and rebuilt them twice but they didn't run long or did not even start. Got 18 stacks in 5 hours.
It worked perfectly for me. For the build in my world I made some change for the hoppers in the middle so one of them goes to the moss chest instead of the dispenser.
Works great, except that for some reason the bonemeal isn’t depositing into my double chest at all? It seems like the hopper that should connect to it doesn’t take any from the dropper
I had a problem with the furnaces, every minute or so they would extend 3 blocks with the stone, and would stop the whole thing, if you have that issue and you can get some obsidian, use that in place of the furnaces! Works great now.
Do I have to let the dispenser and droppers fill up with bone meal before it starts putting it in the chest? Could I just put placeholders in all but one slot in them so it goes to the chest?
I've got a fix for when it just stops working. you definitely need more than 16 bonemeal to kickstart it. turn it off, then manually fill the dispenser and the dropper below it with bonemeal (9 stacks) then cut out the 4 pieces of smooth stone from the platform (like he originally builds it in the video). turn it back on. then it starts working again, i'm guessing it will be self sufficient at that point. worst comes to worst you just reset it again by filling them up and breaking those 4 stone blocks
I am new to Minecraft (I know I am a bit late to the party) and struggle with understanding how the bone meal gets feeded into the moss block again. I have put in 16 and it worked nicely. But then it stopped and never refilled the bone meal.
@@Sebalou622 ok - I give it a try. From what I see it seems to reproduce it now. I have filled the Dispenser + Dropper below (as mentioned by @motch) and it seems to reproduce now. It is the 3rd Bone Meal machine I try and its the first one working for me. Highly appreciate your work and u giot a new sub. 🙂
One more thing pleased - as I see the dropper (lowest one) also starts filling up. Do all droppers need to be full first before putting BM into the chest? Sorry.... I really just started and try to learn :-D
if the the farm stops working stand on top the the collection chest face the dropper look up mine the cobble stone block that exposes the observer and dispenser and place a redstone torch on the observer then break the redstone torch
Farm was working for a couple hour and noticed as I was building a structure around it, it stopped, tried all the fixes from here and nothing dispenser won't bonemeal the moss, pistons won't trigger I don't get it Edit got it to dispense bonemeal but only if I break the block above the observer and replace it Edit 2: Somehow the repeaters next to the pistons had gotten turned around and the redstone torch fell off????
the top dispenser keeps filling up with bone meal, although a lot of the bonemeal goes into the chest thankfully, but I keep having to empty the top dispenser (a testament to how efficient the farm is lol) any workaround to that?
@@qv8906 it does, it depends on what mode you have, yes the moss collecting is unsustainable, but if you have it on bonemeal mode, it should be 100% sustainable :)
The bonemeal part doesn't work it just keeps going and then once the bonemeal is removed from the observer no bonemeal happens though it clicks the moss does not expand?
The water from the trap doors doesn't reach all the way to the hoppers. There's always one line of blocks left behind and sometimes the moss and etc just get stuck on it.
Having trouble with the observer triggering the dispenser with accuracy? Here's how to fix that: I found 3 videos online explaining this build, none of them addressed this issue and it took me a while to solve. My fix is pretty crude, but it's easy to do. Simply add three additional observers to the Redstone line that triggers the dispenser. This way, if the main central observer doesn't cause the dispenser to fire, one of the others will always pick up the slack. I did this small modification by adding the three new observers near the end of the farm, furthest from the stone generator. Now the farm runs smoothly and never stalls out. Not sure why I seem to be the only person who had this issue, but if you're in a similar position, now you don't have to struggle to fix the machine. Just a quick add on to what you've already built :)
I don't know if it's just me having this problem, but I can't get it to work on 1.21. I've built this exact farm many times on old saves and servers so I know it works in older versions but maybe not the newest? I'm just confused because I double checked everything, but the dropper/dispenser system just isn't working anymore. I don't want to find a new farm for 1.21+ but I have no idea what's going on or how to fix this one
Yo this machine is great! I’m buying another one in my second world. It’s maybe not the fastest but very compact and much easier to build. I can only recommend it!
Nice build, but i have the problem that my dispenser is out of bonemeal. I have make sure the lever is off and i have checked that the hopper is in place the right way. it doesn't refill the bottom dropper? I get a lot of bonemeal, but still it will empty after a while.. Do you have a solution? I am on a realm with 1.18.1
@@Sebalou622 I already found the problem! i had my chest moved with hoppers. but i realised i have crossed the input hoppers below, and that i just have learned, that is the problem. So, i have to extend it with hoppers avoiding the input hoppers. and then it should work fine!
not sure if it is a 1.20 issue but if one of the rows of stone is full stone all 3 pistons will stop regardless of if the other 2 have moss. wait nevermind lol operator error. was trying to run it with 1 water bucket and 1 lava bucket but if a piece of stone formed it would stop water flow
Hey for some reason the droppers and dispensers are not working. I'm using it on 1.19.2 but I see people saying it's fine for them. The dispenser won't bone meal the moss itself I need to do it by hand which is sorta counter productive.
I recently built this but the collection system for the bone meal does not work, the bone meal just sits in the bottom hopper and does not get moved to the chest, the hopper is in the right direction as well so I don't know what is going wrong here.
you can just use another stone generating module on the other side just use furnaces on the back of pistons to prevent pushing and boom you just made it twice as more efficient
So, it worked for the most part. But I have to constantly check on it because sometimes instead of stone, the generator make cobblestone and moss can't grow on cobblestone. Another thing is my trapdoor timer keeps stopping. I have to take a redstone torch onece in a while and activate it. But it keeps happening. Anyhting I might have missed?
I have the same problem on the cobblestone but it worked again when I just replaced the generated cobblestone with stone. Idk if it will keep happening cuz if I'm afk I won't notice if the machine stopped working
Biggest problem i've had with bonemeal farms is that cobble always finds a way in. Whether just randomly while I'm standing there or I accidentally leave it on when I unload the chunks, Gonna build up this one and hoping it doesn't generate any cobble. Looks awesome though
@Mihir I still had the issue after a bit. Worked great at first but then either I changed something or it just ends up doing that, but it ended up making cobble so I stopped using it and am making a giant cactus farm so I have consistent bonemeal without worrying about it
@Mihir also the other farm I’d built was by mysticat, and while it worked. You have to be sure you build the platform that the stone is in within one chunk. He doesn’t say it in the video but has a pinned comment, last I saw. After I did that it worked great in my single player world, not so much in the server I played on, but figured you would want to know
This farm doesn't work in 1.20 as intended. After doing a troubleshoot another person suggeseted, the farm doesn't automatically fill with bonemeal, hence you have to manually refill it and flick the lever again. Waiting for an updated guide...

@@dandooni1326 moss blocks cannot spread on most blocks but do spread on stone, so make sure you copy the exact same blocks used in the tutorial. in case you built the full machine and it doesn't work, to restart it you've to update the observer. so mine the block above the observer and quickly replace it
hope you understand!
A very good Tutorial, very easy to understand straight forward no pauses 10/10!
Thank you :)
I love the farm! I noticed that some rows were never being broken by the pistons though on mine (not sure if that's just a me problem or not) so I added a row of pistons on the opposite side too with furnaces behind them all on both sides.
It’s part of the farm’s design, because of the observer placement. Glad you like it though!
your video is great, thank you. someone else posted a video of this exact farm, but neglected to put a torch at the very bottom part near the comparator and my build wouldnt work. luckily I found this vid and its works now. thanks bud
Hey, the farm worked good until the bonemeal in the dropper ran out, then it just stopped working completely, the redstone is still blinking and everything but it's not collecting any bonemeal which I want, I put 3 stacks of bonemeal after it ran out (the dropper), do I have to wait for an hour or two or what do I do?
If it ran out that means you had it on moss mode, or the initial amount of Bonemeal you put in wasn’t enough. It will take an hour or two to start generating extra Bonemeal yes.
all other bone meal farms are way over complicated and not efficent/ pain in the a** to get working. this is the most simple and effective one ive seen yet im gonna try it out!
Glad you think so!
@@Sebalou622 build it for my tree farm i can't get that working now wish you had a tutorial for it yours are so simple XD
@@vogue25754 good idea, ill have to make that
@@Sebalou622 keep doing what your doing your tutorials bare the best!
@@vogue25754 thank you!!!
0 bonemeal a year 💪
nah
Great design and great video. Thanks dude! It's my second time watching this tutorial for a second world.
You should really let people know that this farm was created by Mr Bouzouki_
thats not even the guy whos farm i modified. i modified one from some other guy, and yes, i modified it, wich if perfectly fine.
@@Sebalou622 Really because this farm is built step by step from the original designer's video.
if you have time you can fill up the dispencer with more bonemeal to make the production faster. as of 1.16 you can easily find bone blocks in the nether
I just built this in java 1.19.2. It runs alright, but even with the moss collector locked so everything washes into the composters, it generates less bone meal than it consumes. It works as a moss and azalea farm, but you need to supply bone meal because it is not self-sustaining.
I'm having the same issue
Then you must have the lever on. Check the faq
this is the best bonemeal farm ever!! not just does it work on Java, it is also is very easy to modifie to work on bedrock. :)
How do you modify it for bedrock?
Instead of the trap doors, u replace the blocks below the water sorce block with dispensers and place buckets in it, and the redstone for activing all of the dispensers is easy to connect😃
Also Merry Christmas :)
@@fishingboss503 so I did this (hopefully I did it right) but my water stays running for too long and it shuts off the farm. I don't know which part of the Redstone business controls that. Maybe someday I will understand Redstone lol
Maybe its gliched, but for me to start my farm i just break the stone block on top off the observer and it works.
@@fishingboss503 do you have to constantly break that block? If I wait til the water shuts off and bonemeal the center myself it starts running again, but the point of the farm was so it didn't have to be babysat.
Wow this is the only farm in Java 1.18 that I found and actually works, simple to build too! Thanks man
Np!
Thanks pardner! Been swapping out different farms trying to get one to work well, yours is the first to work amazingly!
Glad to help!
I appreciate how cheap this is to make since I’m playing on a server with very limited resources, kudos!
This still works absolutely flawlessly!
Thank you so much for this design. I watched many tutorials but this is the only design that realy works. Thanks:)
Yup!
bro was straight to it and works like a charms. thanks mate
ofc!
Works pretty well in 19.2 Java. Thanks for the build and content.
Great to hear!
I did this in a realm on 1.18.2 and it seems to be working just fine on my end. I loved the tutorial and have seen some nasty comments, thank you for the tutorial
Thank you!
@@Sebalou622 This is a great tutorial, may I ask how long does it take for the bone meals actually flow in? About 15 minutes?
@@icedapple7632 no clue lol
I have been looking for so long and yours works thank you SO much
Glad you are enjoying it !!!
Thanks for the great tutorial, this is the only farm I found which is actually designed for 1.19. Thanks man!
Glad I could help!
thanks for the farm. it works great! it was quick to build and you made it easy to follow, except for one thing: you didn't wait long enough to see if blocks were in the right position. other than that, it was a good tutorial.
This thing still works great! Thanks for this design, you really should get more credit
One of the only bone meal farms for 1.18.1 that works for me thanks!
No problem dude! Glad you like it!
works well, easy to build. Had an issue where the stone wasnt created fast enough, so I put all of the repeaters fully and it works now.
As small critique, please use other words or cut out the word "then", you use it every other sentence and it's a bit distracting when you start noticing it xD
lmao i notice that about my recordings too, its a hard habit to break :P
I was looking for something that didn't cost much to build and this is perfect!
Nice!
Simple, easy to follow liked the video. Just finished building it and works great
This farm works smoothly for me on Java 1.20.1. If your farm runs out of bonemeal (all bonemeal goes into chest instead) even in Bonemeal-mode make sure you use two dropper and one dispenser 0:26 ! Made the mistake and used 3 dispenser and spent an hour trying to find the error...
Well I’m glad it’s working now
At last, one that works! I have tried 2 other designs before and rebuilt them twice but they didn't run long or did not even start. Got 18 stacks in 5 hours.
Nice!
such a succinct and well-explained tutorial! thank you very much for sharing!!
Thank you for this tutorial. It's a compact farm that really works. Well done! ❤
ooh! So great system! I love you and thanks so much! Now is easy to build more top of that system and get more bonemeal :D
Yup! Glad I could help!
Awesome tutorial, great cuts, no bullsh!t, just a nice tutorial overall! Thanks
So glad you liked it!!!! Means a lot to me :)
whats the best way to stack another layer of the farm on top?
Not sure really. I wish you luck tho!
Hey I found an issue, at some point the observer gets stuck and will stop ticking
At last I find one that seems to work. Thank you.
You're welcome!
It worked perfectly for me.
For the build in my world I made some change for the hoppers in the middle so one of them goes to the moss chest instead of the dispenser.
Works great, except that for some reason the bonemeal isn’t depositing into my double chest at all? It seems like the hopper that should connect to it doesn’t take any from the dropper
I afked for about an hour and got 2 bone meal. Somehow works but doesn’t get triggered most of the time?
Nvm I placed the red stone wrong lmao
This isn't his farm which is why he doesn't know how it works. Go watch Mr Bouzouki_. He designed and built it
Here's a link ruclips.net/video/1Bgj3qzgvus/видео.html&ab_channel=MrBouzouki_
@@blewflag9928 aight thanks
Very nice and easy farm to make. Also, the tutorial is very easy and simple to follow 👍
I had a problem with the furnaces, every minute or so they would extend 3 blocks with the stone, and would stop the whole thing, if you have that issue and you can get some obsidian, use that in place of the furnaces! Works great now.
lol you must be playing on bedrock.
liked and subbed, worked perfectly on my 1.18.1 fabric server, thanks.
Np man :)
@@Sebalou622 how much bonemeal does this per hour ?
@@Gakkklitooo since it depends on luck, I don't have an exact number. But trust me, its plenty
More than a stack?
the first farm who works perfectly thanks
You're welcome!
Do I have to let the dispenser and droppers fill up with bone meal before it starts putting it in the chest? Could I just put placeholders in all but one slot in them so it goes to the chest?
It will still have to fill up with stacks, so only thing to do is wait
I've got a fix for when it just stops working. you definitely need more than 16 bonemeal to kickstart it.
turn it off, then manually fill the dispenser and the dropper below it with bonemeal (9 stacks) then cut out the 4 pieces of smooth stone from the platform (like he originally builds it in the video). turn it back on. then it starts working again, i'm guessing it will be self sufficient at that point. worst comes to worst you just reset it again by filling them up and breaking those 4 stone blocks
Good suggestion!
I am new to Minecraft (I know I am a bit late to the party) and struggle with understanding how the bone meal gets feeded into the moss block again. I have put in 16 and it worked nicely. But then it stopped and never refilled the bone meal.
@@uninho1985 I would Fill the entire dispenser if you’re having trouble
@@Sebalou622 ok - I give it a try. From what I see it seems to reproduce it now. I have filled the Dispenser + Dropper below (as mentioned by @motch) and it seems to reproduce now.
It is the 3rd Bone Meal machine I try and its the first one working for me.
Highly appreciate your work and u giot a new sub. 🙂
One more thing pleased - as I see the dropper (lowest one) also starts filling up. Do all droppers need to be full first before putting BM into the chest?
Sorry.... I really just started and try to learn :-D
tip: put 41 bonemeal in the bottom dropper for it to start working properly faster
Good idea!
Does anyone's machine ever jam up because it occasionally creates cobble instead of regular stone?
Yes I posted the solution. Check the comments
Thanks this works really well I needed actual moss and I
Just had to adjust 5 blocks for it to work
Nice!
if the the farm stops working stand on top the the collection chest face the dropper look up mine the cobble stone block that exposes the observer and dispenser and place a redstone torch on the observer then break the redstone torch
Farm was working for a couple hour and noticed as I was building a structure around it, it stopped, tried all the fixes from here and nothing dispenser won't bonemeal the moss, pistons won't trigger I don't get it
Edit got it to dispense bonemeal but only if I break the block above the observer and replace it
Edit 2: Somehow the repeaters next to the pistons had gotten turned around and the redstone torch fell off????
Is the stone necessary for the build or could another block be used in its place?
I built it from wood bc I didn't know but it turns out it needs to be stone. Moss can only grow on stone I think.
yup, moss only grows on stone
Thank you. I just put a lever on that redstone torch to the bone meal go to the chest and not to the dispenser. Thank you from Brazil
Np! Glad to help people far and wide!
the top dispenser keeps filling up with bone meal, although a lot of the bonemeal goes into the chest thankfully, but I keep having to empty the top dispenser (a testament to how efficient the farm is lol)
any workaround to that?
I don't know why, but 4 of the furnaces got pushed away by 3 blocks. The farm still works great, but it looks a bit weird haha
Broo tysm! This is the only farm that fully works!
Np m8 :)
@@Sebalou622 btw the only bad part is that it does not self sustain
@@qv8906 it does, it depends on what mode you have, yes the moss collecting is unsustainable, but if you have it on bonemeal mode, it should be 100% sustainable :)
@@Sebalou622 Wow I was watching it, it sustains and collects bonemeal amazing :)
The bonemeal part doesn't work it just keeps going and then once the bonemeal is removed from the observer no bonemeal happens though it clicks the moss does not expand?
weird
Thanks alot!
But a question what are the rates? per hour
lol idk, but you're welcome
Great design, thanks for sharing this tutorial. Working fine on Java 1.19
Thank you!
The water from the trap doors doesn't reach all the way to the hoppers. There's always one line of blocks left behind and sometimes the moss and etc just get stuck on it.
Having trouble with the observer triggering the dispenser with accuracy? Here's how to fix that:
I found 3 videos online explaining this build, none of them addressed this issue and it took me a while to solve. My fix is pretty crude, but it's easy to do. Simply add three additional observers to the Redstone line that triggers the dispenser. This way, if the main central observer doesn't cause the dispenser to fire, one of the others will always pick up the slack.
I did this small modification by adding the three new observers near the end of the farm, furthest from the stone generator. Now the farm runs smoothly and never stalls out.
Not sure why I seem to be the only person who had this issue, but if you're in a similar position, now you don't have to struggle to fix the machine. Just a quick add on to what you've already built :)
Cool cool, thanks for the advice!
I have one problém with this farm, the bone meal wont come out to the chest, instead it come to the droppers and dispenser.... what should I do?
same problem here :/
actually it was just really slow, I just waited around a bit and bone meal started to appear in the chest
Yup, you just have to wait
I don't know if it's just me having this problem, but I can't get it to work on 1.21. I've built this exact farm many times on old saves and servers so I know it works in older versions but maybe not the newest? I'm just confused because I double checked everything, but the dropper/dispenser system just isn't working anymore. I don't want to find a new farm for 1.21+ but I have no idea what's going on or how to fix this one
Yo this machine is great! I’m buying another one in my second world. It’s maybe not the fastest but very compact and much easier to build. I can only recommend it!
Nice build, but i have the problem that my dispenser is out of bonemeal. I have make sure the lever is off and i have checked that the hopper is in place the right way. it doesn't refill the bottom dropper? I get a lot of bonemeal, but still it will empty after a while.. Do you have a solution? I am on a realm with 1.18.1
What console do you play on?
@@Sebalou622 I already found the problem! i had my chest moved with hoppers. but i realised i have crossed the input hoppers below, and that i just have learned, that is the problem. So, i have to extend it with hoppers avoiding the input hoppers. and then it should work fine!
@@FandyBackers glad you got it to work!
not sure if it is a 1.20 issue but if one of the rows of stone is full stone all 3 pistons will stop regardless of if the other 2 have moss. wait nevermind lol operator error. was trying to run it with 1 water bucket and 1 lava bucket but if a piece of stone formed it would stop water flow
Hey for some reason the droppers and dispensers are not working. I'm using it on 1.19.2 but I see people saying it's fine for them. The dispenser won't bone meal the moss itself I need to do it by hand which is sorta counter productive.
what version
I recently built this but the collection system for the bone meal does not work, the bone meal just sits in the bottom hopper and does not get moved to the chest, the hopper is in the right direction as well so I don't know what is going wrong here.
same here
I have a faq… you just have to wait a while
@@Sebalou622 Sorry... The farm indeed works quite well, thanks for the video.
you can just use another stone generating module on the other side just use furnaces on the back of pistons to prevent pushing and boom you just made it twice as more efficient
Yep
So, it worked for the most part. But I have to constantly check on it because sometimes instead of stone, the generator make cobblestone and moss can't grow on cobblestone. Another thing is my trapdoor timer keeps stopping. I have to take a redstone torch onece in a while and activate it. But it keeps happening. Anyhting I might have missed?
You might have missed one of the redstone peices, I’d check the video to see if you missed anything. Good luck!
You might have missed one of the redstone peices, I’d check the video to see if you missed anything. Good luck!
@@Sebalou622 i checked everything. Nothing i missed. Also my generator is generating cobblestone and not stone
@@cjnoelbonconcepcion279 hmm… I’m not sure what could be causing that. I would try building the whole generator part again
I have the same problem on the cobblestone but it worked again when I just replaced the generated cobblestone with stone. Idk if it will keep happening cuz if I'm afk I won't notice if the machine stopped working
Biggest problem i've had with bonemeal farms is that cobble always finds a way in. Whether just randomly while I'm standing there or I accidentally leave it on when I unload the chunks, Gonna build up this one and hoping it doesn't generate any cobble. Looks awesome though
Well good luck, and I hope it works well!
@Mihir I still had the issue after a bit. Worked great at first but then either I changed something or it just ends up doing that, but it ended up making cobble so I stopped using it and am making a giant cactus farm so I have consistent bonemeal without worrying about it
@Mihir also the other farm I’d built was by mysticat, and while it worked. You have to be sure you build the platform that the stone is in within one chunk. He doesn’t say it in the video but has a pinned comment, last I saw. After I did that it worked great in my single player world, not so much in the server I played on, but figured you would want to know
@Mihir might just be lag
This is amazing, thanks man!
No problem!
for those who wondering how much blocks to go up is 8 (like u have 2 already so go up 8)
This farm doesn't work in 1.20 as intended. After doing a troubleshoot another person suggeseted, the farm doesn't automatically fill with bonemeal, hence you have to manually refill it and flick the lever again. Waiting for an updated guide...
It should work, you have to wait
this was amazing and so easy to follow thanks so much!
Np dude! Glad you liked it! :)
