Your first wheat farm: water, farmland and harvesting

One source of water moistens the field 9×9 with water in the center: 80 planting cells remain. For the first wheat you need a hoe, seeds, light and an active world area, and not complex automation.

Mark the field from 0 to 8

Make the land square 9×9 and the water at coordinate (4,4). Treat the remaining 80 cells with a hoe and plant wheat seeds. Our example uses one even layer; upper or lower water is not an arbitrary replacement for the center. Reference: Minecraft: farmland.

Dark farmland shows hydration. Protect the field from animals and make a path outside: jumping can turn the crop bed into the ground. You can start with a few seeds, leaving room for future filling.

Collect mature plants

The wheat is ready when it has fully grown and turned golden. The destruction of a young plant does not produce a full harvest. When harvested normally, the mature stem produces 1 wheat and seeds; Immediately transplant one seed into the vacated cell.

A fully mature field of 80 stems yields 80 wheat without taking into account changes in mechanics by mods. This is 26 loaves and 2 wheat remainder: the bread costs 3 wheat. Fortune helps with the seeds, but does not turn each stalk into several wheats.

The food yield and supply of planting material are calculated in the manual: A reliable food supply: crops, animals and travel rations.

Light and honest automation

Crops need sufficient light to grow, usually a level of at least 9 in the plant cell. Torches along one edge of a large field may not illuminate distant cells: distribute the light and check the center. Growth occurs in random ticks in the treated area, and not just by the clock while you are on the other side of the world.

Water flushing harvests the crop but does not replant the seeds for you. Test the jet on one row, check the outlet to the hopper and then reset the landings. farmer-villager is a separate system with its own inventory and connections, and not a free dispenser function.

To breed and preserve breeders, use the following plan: A small animal farm: pens, food and a breeding pair.
