Build an Automatic Sugarcane and Bamboo Farm in Minecraft With This Step-By-Step Guide

Are you tired of spending far too much time exploring while trying to gather Sugarcane and Bamboo for Villagers, Enchanting, or Building? Well, this guide will show you the basics of creating an automated farm that will harvest these green materials on its own! This will not only save you time and effort but also ensure that you never run out of resources. Read on and discover how to make a basic automatic Sugarcane and Bamboo farm in Minecraft!

Collect Your Building Blocks, Dirt, Sugarcane/Bamboo, Water Bucket, Hopper, Chest, Observers, Pistons, and Redstone

The first step to making an automatic Sugarcane and Bamboo farm is to gather the necessary resources. You'll need 56 building blocks, 16 Dirt, 16 Sugarcane/Bamboo, 1 Water bucket, at least 1 Hopper, at least 1 Chest, 16 Observers, 16 Pistons, and 16 Redstone.

Create the Foundation 

The next step is to start building your farm's foundation. To do this, place the 16 dirt blocks in two strips of 8 blocks each, with a single block in between. Now, surround the two rows of dirt with blocks on all sides except for one of the smaller ends. To the end that has blocks surrounding it, add the water bucket and make sure no water is leaking out. Put a sugar cane or bamboo on the ground.

Add More Building Blocks 

Once you've placed the Sugarcane/Bamboo, add another layer of blocks on top of the blocks surrounding the dirt and some blocks in front of the green plants on the other end. After that, place a hopper at the very end of the water stream, and connect it to a chest, making sure the chest can still be opened.

Assemble the Pistons and Observers 

Now, it's time to start assembling the Pistons and Observers. Place the Pistons on top of the building blocks in front of the Sugarcane/Bamboo. Make sure the observer's side is facing the Sugarcane. Then, repeat the placement for all 16 pieces of Sugarcane/Bamboo.

Connect the Redstone 

After installing the observers and pistons, place blocks on the back side of each piston. Then place the Red Stone on all of these blocks, making sure the Red Stone is pointing toward the piston. This will ensure that the pistons are powered by the observers when the sugarcane or bamboo grows to 3 blocks in height.

Final Touches

Finally, build up the walls of the farm to 4 blocks tall to make sure no items fall out of the machine. Now, your automated farm is ready to go and will produce as many pieces of green plant life as you need forever! 

Conclusion

Creating an automated Sugarcane and Bamboo farm in Minecraft is a great way to save time and effort while ensuring quick and regular production of these green materials. This guide will provide you with the basics of constructing the farm, showing you how to assemble the necessary components and properly build up the walls and structure. Once you've followed all the steps, your farm should be up and running, providing continuous production of Sugarcane and Bamboo for all your emeralds and paper needs.
