Would my villager already be fully occupied with a smaller area? What would be its size? Or in other words: What is the best farmland / farmer ratio that maximizes farmland utilization? Is it practical to put multiple villagers at once on the same field?Īny resources on the topic are welcome as well. When increasing the area to the maximum possible size that can be reached by a farmer, I noticed that in this design around 50% of all crops are fully grown at the same time, everytime. What about potatoes and carrots? Is it even possible to get a good output for these crops?

If you combine both strategies however, it evens out.Īm I missing anything or is that the only approach to create a working farm with considerable output? Are there other designs that I should check out which are more effective?Īre there ways to prevent villagers from composting, like e.g. The dispenser system works, but you need to supply it with seeds from somewhere else, which somewhat messes up the idea behind the farm. By increasing the farmland area, more seeds are being produced than consumed, but there are still situations in which the villager throws away a full stack of seeds and messes up its inventory. Using a system of sorters and dispensers to throw collected wheat seeds back at the villagerīoth approaches do not work on their own. Once one stack of seeds is composted, the villager starts to collect wheat and turning it to bread, drastically decreasing the farm's output (maybe even to 0?). Basically, the villager composts more seeds than the amount that is able to regrow. However, this is where I started to run into trouble. I spawned a villager, gave it 8 stacks of wheat seeds and let it do its job. I decided to use a hopper minecart trail beneath the farmland for collection and then built a prototype of this design with a total farmland area of 9x9 (with the composter being in the middle).

So my goal was to build a crop farm with villagers that do the harvesting and re-plant seeds. Works with Beetroot, carrots, potatoes and nether wart (.

First I should mention that I'm not that much into technical minecraft, so please excuse me if I'm asking trivial things here. In this video i will be showing you step by step how to make an automatic wheat farm for 1.8-1.19.2.
