Farming

Farming refers to the systematic production of renewable resources. The technique is typically used to get blocks, food, experience and other desired items. Specific types of farming are listed below.

Automation
Farms can be classified as manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic. Manual farms rely mostly or solely on the player to harvest and restart the farm. Semi-automatic farms use mechanisms to automatically harvest the farm, but they are manually activated by the player. Fully automatic farms do not rely on the player at all and usually use mobs or more complicated mechanisms.

Mob farming

 * Using wheat, seeds, and carrots to breed animals, to be slaughtered for their products or used in egg, milk, or wool farming.
 * Using flowers to breed bees to store in beehives and bee nests, and make Honeycomb and/or Honey.
 * Creating spawn rooms for hostile mobs to be killed for their drops.
 * Farming villagers requires the player to have enough beds and job site blocks for each villager for them to breed.
 * Farming guardians by funneling them to a concentrated area for materials and/or experience.
 * Farming blaze rods from blazes.
 * Farming crossbows, emeralds, iron tools and ominous banners from pillagers.
 * Farming tridents, nautilus shells, rotten flesh and gold ingots from drowned.
 * Farming slimeballs from slimes.

Experience farming
The reason to farm experience is to easily enchant items, or repair tools and armor. Many common experience farms require a difficulty above Peaceful, as they require mobs to spawn. Other uncommon farms use other ways to gain experience, such as fishing or furnaces.


 * Waiting at an active monster spawner for monsters to spawn. This includes mobs that do not spawn naturally without the use of spawners, such as cave spiders.

These can be automated with a water pathway transferring the mobs to where the player is standing.

Even in peaceful mode, certain crops can be auto-farmed and directed into an automated furnace or smoker. The experience from the smelting is accumulated until the furnace is manually emptied or broken. Ultimately, the only limit here is how much time a player is willing to let their furnaces collect experience between harvests.


 * Cactus provides the most experience (1/item), but a regular furnace must be used. Each furnace will accumulate 6 experience/minute..
 * Potatoes provide about a third of that (0.35/item), but a fully-automated farm may be difficult. A smoker will accumulate 4.2 experience/minute.
 * Kelp provides the least experience (0.1/item), but can be cooked in a smoker for 1.2 experience/minute.  The resulting dried kelp can easily be crafted into dried kelp blocks,  providing fuel for the furnace and a surplus for other use.

Fuel is difficult to supply automatically, but a bamboo farm may be able to keep up. Alternatively, a fuel chest can be loaded with dried-kelp blocks.

The smelted result can be collected, discarded, or (except cactus) fed into a composter.

Food farming

 * Wheat, Carrot,  Potato,  Beetroot farming, and Sweet Berries: Farming wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, and Sweet Berries

Block farming

 * Farming cacti for green dye or traps.
 * Creating a stone or cobblestone generator for self-repairing shelters or harvesting.
 * Creating an obsidian generator for obsidian-intensive builds.
 * Farming ice using a self-refilling rink.
 * Farming pumpkins for use in pumpkin pie, jack o'lanterns or golems.
 * Farming vines for use instead of ladders, decoration, or crafting mossy stone bricks or mossy cobblestone.
 * Farming trees for wood, saplings, apples, or charcoal.
