Automatic Brown Mushroom Farm

[@ilmango]

yes. It is easier to just bone meal a brown mushroom. It's not necessary that even more people comment that. I even made a video about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKPRdph-nbxml9U In case somebody wants to build such a spreading based farm nevertheless, because they like building automated farms in general (yes, weird concept, building farms for fun) or just prefer to have something automatic that they don't need to put manual work into after it's done this is my suggestion how to do it.

[@AlexOp]

I love building automatic farms. This is dope. Thanks.

[@PBTophie]

Passive auto farms are my jam in Minecraft. Yes, if I need some brown mushroom, then I can plant a few, fertilize them, and chop them down. Then, with mushroom in hand, the job is done. But wouldn't it be COOLER if there was a massive tower dedicated to producing brown mushroom all by itself? Even if it took a bit longer to get that initial stack or two of mushroom in return, wouldn't it be COOLER to have double chests full of mushroom at the base of a massive farm? What about this do people not understand? It's cool, and you also just have mushroom for everyone!

It can still happen occasionally thanks to Endermen, as underneath my base they were establishing their sprawling fungal domain without my knowledge. Then one day I dug into the network and the ruse was up, but I kept it around afterwards just because of how impressively expansive it was and the low odds of it occurring.

[@leonardotolomeo899]

I think this is one of the rare cases where desyncing the collection between the two sides can increase the rates. The reason is that as soon as one mushroom grows, the central row of mushrooms cannot spread anymore, and only one of the two lateral rows can keep spreading. By desyncing the collection, you alleviate this issue, "reactivating" the central mushrooms sooner on average.

[@Nevir202]

Probably true, but likely not worth the effort of two separate signal towers, unless you build it wider as he mentioned, in which case having the two sides desynched could be done for free.

[@ZBigT]

Good idea, but I think @Nevir202 has a point . I think I'll design one with a different Redstone system that uses your alternating idea.

[@ilmango]

I agree. This could be useful to push the rates, but I would expect that the extra effort might not really be worth it. It might be easier to just make a bigger farm with more modules than trying to squeeze everything out of a certain area. edit: I'll do some testing

[@skylerlehmkuhl135]

@@Nevir202 If the torch tower went side to side instead of front to back, you could use that to invert the signals for basically free.

8:00 Estimating the tower at 316 4x4 growing platforms. At 1000 items/h that's ~3 items per hour per platform. Estimate your farm size based on how many mushrooms you need and how long you want to wait.

[@JoeTaber]

ilmango has a good point: for max brown mushrooms / work-hour up to a fixed amount, bonemeal is probably the best bet. This kind of farm is one you build and let run for a month.

Spreading mushroom farms are one of those nostalgic old-school minecraft farms. I don't think I could bring myself to use a version with target blocks tbh. Really appreciate this :)

[@haph2087]

With the target block method, you can get rid of the target blocks by moving the torch tower down one block and having the dust as a cross.

[@volbla]

Oh yeah, because the torch would power a block instead of directly powering the dust. Nice catch!

[@haph2087]

@@volbla Yep! Lone redstone crosses are quite useful when you want to direct dust cheaply. Especially when your main wire isn’t dust (in this case it’s torches, but repeaters and observers work the same)

[@speedwagonoverheaven9716]

I got a very niche use case out of this farm. I play on a modded server where there is a custom mushroom programmed the same way as brown mushrooms, and basically the only way of farming them is the spread.

[@MrRubikraft]

Great! I finally understood why the setup that I used about ten years ago doesn't work anymore: it's probably due to this spreading limitation that got introduced at some point.

[@MethodZzS]

yes there are better ways to farm brown mushrooms, yes brown mushrooms arent super usefull. no we should still do science and figure out what is the best approach to do it even if the concept itself isnt the best. this is how science works.Spreading farms still can be extremely handy we used one on scicraft for YEARS to make our harming pots automatically for the guardian farm as example. and if i now consider how all spreading based farms looked before this vid id say it was definatly a very good idea to look into it. if you really want a reason to built this farms go play spigot or paper and try your bonemeal based one :)

This is one of those cases where trying to force production is probably to disadvantage. 3 per hour per floor seems absurdly slow. We used the same radius but just one mushroom so that at most three mushrooms could appear per floor between flushings. Farms that alternate mushrooms would see less locking and more mushrooms between flushings with luck and fast spread. Our old bedrock to build height yielded a row of mushrooms per mc day.

[@jogiff]

Why do extra spawning blocks increase the rate of mushrooms? My understanding was that a mushroom would spread if there was an available block (and there were 4 or less mushrooms of the same time near it). I designed a farm with a single spawn block per level, but 16/16 mushrooms in range which instantly (2 red stone ticks) clears the block when one spawns. I even wrote a proof that 16 was the optimum number of mushrooms of one type that you could fit into the area (the proof was way easier than figuring out how to fit all 32 mushrooms into the area)!

[@joevdb9232]

not easily. if you want to procedurally destroy terrain and collect the items, that is a quarry. quarries generally need side trenches and clear top/bottom layers built in advance, so they're safe from liquids and there's somewhere for the block-breaking/item-collecting machinery to fit. ilmango's ancient debris tunnel bore is an exception: no trenches or clear layers needed, it goes right thru terrain. but, it's very limited: it does not work in the overworld, and storage is limited to a few hopper minecarts. also, it cannot reliably collect anything except ancient debris (other things burn in lava).

[@masteroba4388]

I don't think you need a fully automatic farm specifically to craft target block for brown mushroom farm, it's not really too much. But if you wanted a lot of wheat, here's a few option. 1.plain big wheat field if you're looking to expanded the farm quicker use fortune when harvest to get extra seeds. 2.micro farm(best option for most mid/end game) Probably the best option if you have bone meals. 3.villager powered fully automatic farm It's the only way to make fully automatic farm without player interaction. But it's quite slow for an automatic farm and not really worth the time. hence why it's quite rare for people to build one. 4.afkable automatic farm.(player needed to operate the farm) Ilmango built one in the peaceful series, there's probably many design.
