FOR THOSE SHORT ON QUARTZ, or looking to do this cheaper. Technically you only need one observer. It can be the one dead center and so long as the sugar cane grows in front of it, it’ll clear the whole row by activating the red stone and sending all pistons forward. I’m early on in my world and I’m at college, so I let my game run and it’s worked swimmingly! It’s technically a pinch slower bc it isn’t checking every single stalk, but it works well for larger farms!
@Mewtwo73444well I had the same problem but you can make mud by placing a dirt block and getting a water bottle by using the water bottle on the dirt it turns it into mud so there you go
MAJOR UPGRADE TIP: Use only one observer and plant bamboo in front of it, that will trigger the piston every 408 seconds, ensuring you get maximum efficiency!
@@johnthebarbariani think you can place them on the corner. Bamboo grows longer than sugarcane, so when the bamboo reached the observer, it will activate the pistons and push the fully grown sugarcanes
get completely rid all the mine track /cart garbage !! use top row sticky and bottom row regular regular pistons to push on 2 y levels use a water stream to collect !! to hopper /chest WAY WAY WAY WAY less resources of both nether quartz ,iron ,gold and red stone also only needs one observer period placed on a bamboo :/ daylight sensors are garbage :/ tis crap is made by people that dont play hardcore and only use creative and it shows :/
The previous version of your sugar cane farm was how i found your channel! What you said in the end is absolutely correct. Once you make it, you don't forget how to do it. It literally is like riding a bike.
If you make multiple layers, build back one, so you can have hoppers on top of the observers. Doing this will make the farm take up more space, especially if you plan on making more than two layers, however it does help with block loss. To try and add to the explanation, the hoppers above the observers should be underneath the mud for each layer, and the hoppers should lead to another chest, or you can connect them to the first chest. After testing it, it seems to mitigate drop losses by a considerable percentage. There is still the occasional escapees that land by the hoppers, but it's not many.
I just built this, and I wish I'd known a long time ago. My first build had a rail line with a cart + hopper and this saved a ton of resources. Seconded the thank you to JWhisp!
Every other video seems to be the micro build dependant on bone meal and I just need a passive farm to stick under our base. A perfect build, especially for scaling. Thank you so much!
@@yomemea6694use a hopper minecart underneath the dirt which the sugarcane is on ontop of the hoppers. The minecart will pickup all the items through the dirt and put it in the hopper that go to the chest.
@yomemea6694 make sure the block you're growing on is mud. It is a pixel lower than dirt and sand that allows for items to be picked up by hoppers through it.
If you want you can use this design to also get bone meal: just add a second chest and hook it up to a composter and you'll automatically convert the sugar cane into bone meal, giving you effectively two items from a single farm. Sugar cane is not the best item you can put in a composter so it's not great in terms of efficiency, but if you just go afk for a while it will still give you more than enough of both.
You could also do a stair with the lower step facing the mud. This then also uses the same space but gives uniformity in design. Place water bucket in each stair and youre good to go
water streams over packed ice blocks and blue ice block are much much much faster for item collection than any other "vanilla" method and much cheaper and far more effective than garbage mine-cart collectors !! you never want to be water-logging your most effective collection method that costs the absolute least amount of resources !!
Good expandable build, but I always do my piston farms (Kelp, Bambo, Sugarcane) with a slightly different redstone set up. Basically instead of how this video does it what it's a block behind the piston and redstone on top behind the observers, I do redstone behind the piston and a block behind the observers. This does require you to put an extra block behind the block beneath the pistons, however what this does is causes the pistons to go off once at a time instead of the whole row, which gets you more sugar cane. It works better since because sugar cane has a chance to gain a growth point (GP) ever tick, and it needs a certain number of GPs to grow an extra layer, lets say 12 (i don't remember and ain't looking it up), if you have it set up the way it is in this video, you can get the problem where the line of pistons will take out multiple 2 tall sugarcanes when they are about to reach 3 tall. If you set it up the way I explained it only takes out one at a time, and you'll only reap 3 tall ones, giving you a more efficient farm.
"you can build this shortly after booting into a world, the only kinda expensive thing is the hopper". Bro, the observer requires Quartz which requires obsidian for the portal and then avoiding piglins (which is fairly easy, but for a beginner might be challenging). The obsidian requires a diamond pick which requires at least an iron pick beforehand to mine. The observer is easily the most expensive item in this farm, and you went with HOPPER?
you know you can easily build a portal with a bucket of water and a lava pond you can hear through walls.. so you need 3 iron and quartz is everywhere. It really just is a skill issue
if the hoppers arent picking up the sugarcane, under the mud instead make rails and powered rails on the ends making a minecart with a hopper going back and fourth bouncing off the walls. under the rails put two hoppers connecting to a chest . hope this helps!
I might just be impatient, but it seems like my sugarcane isn't growing. I DID build this autofarm one block up from the ground using cobbled deepslate (also used for the rest of it) so that my chest was above ground. I did use sand under the sugarcane and I am in Java. Any ideas? I'll update if I have anything new... ** UPDATE ** Yeah, I was growing sugarcane naturally next to this farm and those were growing, but the sugarcane in the autofarm wasn't. Tried just taking out the blocks that are supposed to sit above the water blocks and that seemed to do the trick! Unsure why the sand wasn't wanting to detect the water next to it, but oh well. So if if you're experiencing the same issue, try just leaving those blocks out. Good luck! ** UPDATE 2 ** Okay, you deeeeefinitely should use mud rather than grass or sand. Sand was not allowing the sugarcane drops to fall into the hoppers. I thought I could get away with sand and it would be no big deal to just break something to grab the drops if some didn't fall, but like NONE of them were falling into the hoppers so... Mud for the win. JWhisp is right.
Some notes: 1: If you dont want the hassle of spending multiple stacks of iron and finding a mangrove swamp for mud, place a minecart with hopper on a track going up and down the line with a single hopper feeding into one (or more) chests. Minecarts with hoppers can pull items through blocks. 2: The way he is placing his hoppers to his chests is space inefficient. Place a hopper to the side of a chest feeding into it, then place a hopper below the hopper pointing into a chest below the chest. 3: DO NOT build this farm 1 block wide. It is a complete waste of resources. In the video he set his tick speed to max to demonstrate, but in reality the farm is much slower. Make it at least 10 blocks wide for actual results.
When I stack the farm, the sugar cane gets caught on the upper levels (the pistons don't push it over the ledge). Yes, I built the glass further out so there is room for it to drop - it just gets caught on the upper level. Any tips?
anyone else having an issue of this being intensely slow and producing almost no sugar cane? I even AFK'd in front of it and barely got any. is it because im using mods? (Modpack: Fantasy Minecraft)
as tip i found was instead of using water directly, using waterlogged leaves is better since it works and you dont need extra building blocks to prevent it from spilling. it is especially helpful to save blocks if you are building the whole thing out of glass (which was waht i did)
the blocks beneath the pistons would be better swapped out for a light block as sugar cane needs light to grow. This farm is ok outside, but not indoors
Nice design 👍, i ve also done a sugar cane farm tutorial video using hopper minecart, witch is not the simplest but it works without mud and it's less iron expensive. Suguh
I created a jumbo sized version of this farm, 20 blocks long and 2 stories high so far (I go through a ton of sugarcane trading with villagers for lots of emeralds), the issue I seem to be having is the upper row stuff doesn't seem to be passing through the mud, or some might be but with some loss. I have an extra 1 height level between the bottom and upper row from your design and am wondering if putting hoppers under the upper row mud blocks pointing straight down to the blocks at ground level will remedy this issue? 🤔
My honest opinion. Not worth building. I did a whole row of 5 and I'm only getting 6 pieces each time. Which means lots of the cane is going to waste. Save the iron for more shields and just kill some skeletons craft bone meal. Then build a farm the old way with dirt and water make it as big as you want then plant cane use bone meal for more cane to plant them in the empty square once all the square are full you could just leave it alone to grow itself you'll get more sugar cane this way than you'll ever going to need since all you have to do is not break it all so it regrowths a bit every mc day. This automated "farm" is only good if you're planning on traveling and exploring a lot and can't tend to your old school farm because you won't be home for a while but if you're planning on always returning back from your travel to your home base or just survive around the area then old school farm is the way to go
compact farms like this are never going to give you the amount of drops you want. this is a small scale build just meant for automating collection in the background for passive usage. there are different mechanisms that do what you want
This stops working when I add the glass wall, I’m on bedrock, what am I doing wrong😭 if I leave it without the glass will the sugar cane fall properly on the hoppers if I remove the glass wall?
you will want mud. either try and find a mangrove biome or find some sand and smelt it. once you get three glass make a glass bottle and fill it with water. get some water and put it on a dirt block without glass and do this five times to get 5 mud
im building it rn and as you said "you can even build it a chunk high and well my friend mined out a whole chunk and im building it rn, will say if it works haha, it prob will :)
You need to be 128 blocks away or less from the chunk with the crop you want to grow in java edition, or the crop WILL NOT GROW. Making this in the spawnchunks will have no effect if you are no around!! Thanks for the video.
This is apparently true in bedrock too. When I leave my spawn chunk, my crops absolutely do not grow. My iron farm stops, though they say to build it at spawn so it runs all the time. I’ve found that a lot of the guys making these vids give incomplete info. Maybe they play on creative all the time. Maybe they just crave likes and views. But I usually have to tweak a few things to make them work on survival properly.
@@r0nk_I think I am taking a roundabout way of saying too much work either way. 😁You need a diamond pickaxe to mine obsidian. But the easiest method is to scoop a bucket of lava into flowing water, into the proper shape. Instant obsidian and shape. No pick needed. 😎
@@Cherish69_ set your survival difficulty to peaceful mine your quartz leave then set it back to hard or the difficulty you had prior Sometimes you'll have to swallow your gamer pride to get things done. That's what I usually do when I'm in need of quartz or gold chunk soul sand etc.
Just wanna say if you wanna use sand or grass put the hopper 1 block infront of the sand so that when the piston breaks the sugar cane it automatically gets picked up by the hopper.
If you build the second one a space above and put droppers under it facing down, wouldnt that make them all fall down or do you need another for a dropper?
just sometips; if u want more effecient way to get the sugar canes, destroy the glass on the lowest then put slabs on it(any slabs will work) then grow your sugar canes using bones. if u already have a mob/exp farm its really ez. i hope it helps:)
Add a row of bone meal dispensers hooked up to redstone and a button and thank me later. You can still AFK it then you have a button you can press to fast track sugar cane
Does not work tried everything from adding more light to building it at 10,10 and nothing.. i have surgarcain planted right by the where i built it and its growing but the one in the machine does not.
Im just doing the basic design with 5 sugarcane, but can you stack it horizontally? It would be way more convenient for me since i made it in my underground base
Not sure but I know you have to be within the simulation distance or render distance. Also not sure if you're on a realm but on realms it's only 10 chunks, kinda sucks tbh
Omg mate I just tried this on Bedrock Edition and I replaced the block under the pistons with dispensers full of bonemeal. I have tried so many times to automate that part and I succesfully automated it. I got almost 3 double chest full of sugar canes in under 10 minutes after afking it. RIP the bonemeal never working on sugar canes in Java. It would've been OP for those Hardcore Minecrafters out there
For best possible efficiency: Keep the observer on the left only. Place a piston diagonal to the observer so it is in line with the sugarcane row. Activate the observer with anything than the piston will constantly move which will continue to activate the other pistons. Note: may lag your minecraft, not sure
FOR THOSE SHORT ON QUARTZ, or looking to do this cheaper. Technically you only need one observer. It can be the one dead center and so long as the sugar cane grows in front of it, it’ll clear the whole row by activating the red stone and sending all pistons forward.

im building it rn and as you said "you can even build it a chunk high and well my friend mined out a whole chunk and im building it rn, will say if it works haha, it prob will :)
You need to be 128 blocks away or less from the chunk with the crop you want to grow in java edition, or the crop WILL NOT GROW. Making this in the spawnchunks will have no effect if you are no around!! Thanks for the video.
thank you
This is apparently true in bedrock too. When I leave my spawn chunk, my crops absolutely do not grow. My iron farm stops, though they say to build it at spawn so it runs all the time.
I’ve found that a lot of the guys making these vids give incomplete info. Maybe they play on creative all the time. Maybe they just crave likes and views. But I usually have to tweak a few things to make them work on survival properly.
@Bhamloud47 Spawn chunks don't exist on the bedrock edition
@@Bhamloud47 real facts not a one of theses dipsticks would last a month none the less over 7000+ days on a hardcore world lol
@@OFFLimits21 bedrock is trash :/ no real minecraft player plays it minecraft was made for java :)
this was my first time using redstone, thanks for making it simple to understand!!
One note on the expenses, you need to go to the nether to get quartz for the observer. Otherwise, I like this setup.
@@r0nk_ True but you still gotta build the portal. Filling and transporting 10 buckets worth of lava takes longer than finding redstone. 😀
@@r0nk_I think I am taking a roundabout way of saying too much work either way. 😁You need a diamond pickaxe to mine obsidian. But the easiest method is to scoop a bucket of lava into flowing water, into the proper shape. Instant obsidian and shape. No pick needed. 😎
Is there another method to do a sugar cane farm without going to the nether cause i don't wanna get blasted by 5 ghasts at the same time
@@thomasaitken7495 feels like a waste of iron too lol I swear I could've use the irons to build more shields instead of spending it on hoppers
@@Cherish69_ set your survival difficulty to peaceful mine your quartz leave then set it back to hard or the difficulty you had prior Sometimes you'll have to swallow your gamer pride to get things done. That's what I usually do when I'm in need of quartz or gold chunk soul sand etc.
Thank you for this! I tried it with sand and grass, I observed and lost 90% of the drops. I tried with mud and it worked!
My sugarcane isn’t going into the hoppers at all. What should I do?
i am having the same issue
Use mud instead of grass and sand it will work
I’m having the same issue.
Just wanna say if you wanna use sand or grass put the hopper 1 block infront of the sand so that when the piston breaks the sugar cane it automatically gets picked up by the hopper.
It’s a nice farm but to increase the rates u should try to add a dispenser with bone meal to make it grow faster
where
@@Nyctotopebelow the pistons
that only works with bedrock
This is the best minecraft farn tutorial video I’ve ever seen and I liked and subbed and this is the comment thanks for the tutorial❤
Question: can u use this farm build for bamboo as well?
yes
If you build the second one a space above and put droppers under it facing down, wouldnt that make them all fall down or do you need another for a dropper?
Do you have to have mud?
No, but it’s easier because the sugarcane can be collected through the mud if though put a hopper underneath
This was very helpful to me & I didn't know that entities could pass through mud! thanks for the help!
You can't place sugar cane on mud...
Yes u can lol
We can place
It isn’t working for me placing sugar cane on mud isn’t working
You need to place water first
You can put redstone behind each piston instead of each observer with a block behind the observer and the pistons will trigger individually
This does not work
I remembered how to make it. Simple and easy! Thank you!
My sugar canes don't grow sadly, I tried rebuilding it 3 times now
it should grow. Make sure you afk close enough. make sure there is also enough light
i have the same problem
It needs light aswell
Same here
just sometips; if u want more effecient way to get the sugar canes, destroy the glass on the lowest then put slabs on it(any slabs will work) then grow your sugar canes using bones. if u already have a mob/exp farm its really ez. i hope it helps:)
Sugarcane won't grow
It will💀 It’s just slow cuz he made the ticks faster
Bros impatient 💀
Womp womp
It needs light😊
Did bro really need to comment this 💀
This is the first automatic farm I ever built and it works! Thanks so much!
My hopper won't connect to my chest is there a reason for that?
The sugarcane is not growing
its just slow
when I didn’t put a barrier for the farm the hopper wasn’t collecting the sugarcane, but when i put glass, it worked
The sugar cane doesn’t even grow doesn’t work
It will grow its just not very fast. This is a starter build so it's a bit slow. I've built this on Java and Bedrock it definitely works.
@@ycleptubi8935 yea it works now
I bet you forgot the water
@@MatthewHeraghty nope I check everything multiple times yet it was still right but the sugar cane wouldn’t grow.
Works perfectly fine for me
Add a row of bone meal dispensers hooked up to redstone and a button and thank me later. You can still AFK it then you have a button you can press to fast track sugar cane
the sugar cane is not going in the chest
Place the hoppers infront of the mud and glass infront of the mud by 2blocks as the piston will push the sugarcane forward
this is way better than my old sugar cane farm when I used to play bedrock.
why isnt my sugarcane growing
Skill issue
Positive comment: 🎉😂❤😊😅😍🥰😘🙂😆😁😄😃😀😎😋😛😝😜 well done, great job ,can’t wait to watch more ,have a great day ,love you,good morning, good day and good night
Does not work tried everything from adding more light to building it at 10,10 and nothing.. i have surgarcain planted right by the where i built it and its growing but the one in the machine does not.
Tip: can't find a swamp for mud? Just get a dirt block and spam it a couple of times with water filelr glass bottles and there you have it! Mud!
Not working, sugar cane ain’t hitting the hopper
did you use mud i had the same problem but relized you need mud cause its not a full block
Huge help! Thanks a lot!
i built the design exactly as shown here in bedrock and the hoppers don’t collect the sugarcane
Are they facing the chest?
same issue, everything is facing as should
@@gimlido it does take a while to grow, I use a bonemeal dispenser farm it’s way easier.
i found the issue - seems I was using dirt intead of mud which works with hoppers@@ShootieMcShoot
Im just doing the basic design with 5 sugarcane, but can you stack it horizontally? It would be way more convenient for me since i made it in my underground base
not growing
water
Fire@@iwastesting6602
+ you need to be near it
Same
Not sure but I know you have to be within the simulation distance or render distance. Also not sure if you're on a realm but on realms it's only 10 chunks, kinda sucks tbh
i built this farm in 1.20.4 optfine and i cannot get the sugarcane to grow. am i doing something wrong?
if you use dirt how would you place the hoppers
use a waterbottle (3 glass) and rightclick the dirtblock -> mud
i did this and the sugar cane grows but the piston doesn’t destroy it , and the sugar cane doesn’t go in the hopper .
Omg mate I just tried this on Bedrock Edition and I replaced the block under the pistons with dispensers full of bonemeal. I have tried so many times to automate that part and I succesfully automated it. I got almost 3 double chest full of sugar canes in under 10 minutes after afking it. RIP the bonemeal never working on sugar canes in Java. It would've been OP for those Hardcore Minecrafters out there
How did you connect the redstone to dispensers? Everytime I do it doesn't connect
Just made it, thank you 🙏
my sugar cane is not growing and im on Java
SAME
For best possible efficiency:
Keep the observer on the left only.
Place a piston diagonal to the observer so it is in line with the sugarcane row.
Activate the observer with anything than the piston will constantly move which will continue to activate the other pistons.
Note: may lag your minecraft, not sure
Doesn’t work
ypu knwow whr happen to hater? THEY DIE
thank u bro love the design
WHY IS MY CANE NOT GROWING
same
suguh!! I can't count how many times I've seen my friends and people in servers do ur sugarcane farm 😭
