7 STARTER FARMS FOR MINECRAFT 1.17 YOU NEED | How to get a good start in Minecraft 1.17 Survival

[@Avomance]

I really hope you like these farms - most WILL work in Bedrock, but they are designed for the Minecraft 1.17 update. Let me know in the comments below what you think of them and which is your favourite? Which ones would YOU like to see in part 2?

[@pilotreg]

Pt2 would be great , no such thing as too much unless your overworking yourself.

[@DonPepoz]

Señor Avo!!!! Never get enough of “Counting with Avo” 😁 Maybe for Pt.2 you could include Basalt-generator? Thanks!!! Oh! By the way, love the new logo. 👽👍🏼

[@Rancidtimes]

I was going to mention a Basalt generator aswell.. Also is there a way to make a rock/stone generator for the new stones that are coming out yet..? Thank you Avomance

[@gentlefarmer9013]

I love the aesthetics. I"ve done the bonemeal farm many times, but they are an eyesore. I like the trapdoor idea to make them less awful looking.

[@malataur]

I would like to see your take on a [edit: COW] farm that does not use entity cramming, so it would work on servers and Bedrock versions. Cheers!

[@SauceNinja]

no scaffolding needed for big spruce trees, just cut a spiral up to the top then just work your way back down through whatever's left

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Yup. That’s basically what I do

[@ryukireii]

If u ever obtain scaffolding, chopping spruce trees would be a breeze

[@RedneckSwede]

YES, finally someone who understansds simple solutions.

[@foraminutethere23]

Scaffolding saves you a lot more time

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

@@foraminutethere23 I don’t know. I’ve tried it and it seems about the same time except I have to pick up scaffolding

[@RGM5396]

For those on bedrock like me, you can’t use trapdoors for the food farm and the water. Instead use dispensers and put a bucket of water in each. Then connect those to the red stone lever and they can dispense water… when you flick off an on again they will suck the water back up. Unfortunately this makes the farm require a lot more iron but it’s the best way I found to do it.

[@trashcangold]

Mine wont suck it back up after, but if i can get the 2 dispensers connected to one switch it chould be fine if i just manually put the water back.

[@thebigcajun4904]

@@trashcangold flick it on and off again for it to suck it up

[@BearStoneAdventures]

For those that have water going through your trap doors for the wheat farm, instead of having the line of water with trap doors, place down a line of dispensers facing your farm exactly where the water would've gone. Put water buckets in your dispensers. Then on top of the line of spruce logs behind them (directly touching the back of the dispensers), place down a line of redstone, and then one redstone continuing up one more block onto the side wall corner. Put a stone button on that corner. When you push the button, the water will be released from all of the dispensers at once, because they're powered by the redstone line behind them, and wash over your farm. Push the button again and it will suck the water back into all of the dispensers. So the farm still works, only you have to now push a button. I'm using bedrock 1.16 while writing this.

[@MrWuddles]

Thanks. I'm not sure why my water is going through the trap doors. Thanks for the tip. now this just got a lot more expensive to make

Nice ideas, although things like dispensers aren't early-game things one would expect to have in Survival.

[@malfunctioninghero]

I had no idea that you could grow spruce trees right next to each other after the others are fully grown--I always just took the info from the wiki as "oh okay NOTHING can be near them", but this is actually a really cool fact because now I want to build a massive wooden home that I dig out from a mass of grown 2x2 spruce trees! Thank you :) I hope you have a nice day!

[@Avomance]

Yep - but you have to plant the saplings AFTER the tree grows or it wont work! its kinda useful!

[@Avomance]

Love your idea!

[@Angel_Ripoff]

Cortezerino has a treehouse base that he starts by growing large trees like that, it works out really well.

[@lamvinhlaeaear5120]

For the Sweet Berry farm and Bone Meal farm, you can replace the chest(s) and planks with barrels if you wish, for added storage. Not sure if anyone finds this helpful or not, but figured I'd mention it. Cheers!

[@ashleycuster6244]

Actually it is not helpful whatsoever it is actually harmful because a barrel only has the storage of one chest and you can put 2 chests making a double chat double in your story so why would anyone want to lessen their storage why would you even suggest something that is going to make the project worse you are a horrible person

[@ashleycuster6244]

For adage storage that we just discuss it is West storage

[@lamvinhlaeaear5120]

You can get the same storage by placing down a second barrel nearby the farms. They both have their benefits and their downsides (Ex. 54 spaces in one chest but can't open under solid blocks vs 27 spaces in two barrels but can open under solid blocks). Personal preference really. :D

[@samseverin5877]

I really appreciate how a bunch of these feed into each other. The wood helps make the crops, the seeds from the crops feed into the bonemeal, etc. Really useful and neatly done! Thanks so much

[@Gakusangi]

Mine tree farm for Spruce, Birch and Oak. 16 soil blocks set in four rows of four, each with a space next to, in front and behind them. In the empty spaces beside each block, break a one block deep hole and fill it with water. In the open rows in front and behind each block put a line of torches. Plant a sapling on each of the 16 soil blocks. For oak, you might want to put in a half slab roof, about seven blocks up from the soil blocks you planted the saplings on. There you go, each of those should produce at least enough new saplings to replant them after cutting them down, and you'll likely get anywhere between two and four extra ones to store away and make more tree farms later.

[@CDADRacer]

IF YOU ARE USING BEDROCK AND DOING THE TREE FARM USE A 2X2 PLATFORM RATHER THAN A 4X4 AS LOGS INHIBIT TREE GROWTH IN BEDROCK BUT NOT IN JAVA!

[@JamesOfEarth]

I’ve failed to get the water flush farm to work on bedrock. First world I just couldn’t find spruce wood anywhere and figured the holes in oak and birch trap doors was the reason I couldn’t hold the water back. So I created a new world starting in a spruce biome. Really disappointed to find out my spruce trap doors don’t hold the water back either. Really frustrated I can’t get even this simple farm to work.

[@JamesOfEarth]

I think I finally got it working with dispensers! It’s a little weird in that I have to flick the lever up and down to get water to dispense and then lever up and down again to stop the flow and the water seems to stay in the buckets. Not sure why it’s working that way, but I’m certain I don’t care because it’s finally working.

[@erikblaas5826]

Missing one here that I made some times ... the pumpkin and melon farm with auto popup blocks. It goes something like this: 1 row of water (1 block down), next 1 row of farmland with the seeds growing, next one row of dirt or grass where the pumpkin and melon blocks grow, underneath this row of blocks sticky pistons pushing up, at the end of the row a switch, a button or a pressure plate to activate and underneath redstone, redstone toches and repeaters to activate those pistons. At the moment the pistons push up the pumpins and melons break and can be picked up easely, make sure those go back down again to grow new ones.

[@tamstertx63]

There needs to be some sort of simple rabbit farm. The skins can be made into leather or the new bundle bags, the meat can be traded to butcher villagers or cooked and eaten, and the feet for potion brewing

How do you manage to keep the water from spilling out of the trapdoors? No matter what I do or what wood I use the trapdoors aren’t holding the water in. I’ve also tried the over head method. Where you have a lever above to activate the flushing system and the water falls from the top. Idk if I explained enough. But the water isn’t staying put, it just runs. Is it a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? I am doing this on pocket edition. I am also making this underground in case this is what’s causing my issue. You also have a new subscriber!!

22:35 You can improve this generator up to 7 blocks mining at the same time. Just make it diagonal and use step-ladders or waterlogged blocks to make contact of water with flowing down lava, but it will be hidden. Then, you need to take precise angle after you activated your beacon - and there you have it - 7-block cobblestone/ore generator Skyblock edition. Only TNT duping machines are more efficient.

[@JacksonOwex]

Food is generally one of the first ones I do depending on where I spawned in. If you are close to a river then you can always eat salmon if you don't mind killing them, they will respawn quite quickly. By the ocean I suppose you could do kelp but that's not the best so mostly something if you're in a pinch, could do cod here but they will have more space to swim around making them harder to kill slightly. The easiest starter food farm is probably sweet berries if you are in a taiga.

I know this is an older video but I discovered if you dig a hole 1x3 and place a hopper into a double chest before placing the composter on the hopper you end up with a slightly more compact setup that is easier to reach/setup without taking fall damage. I usually set this up outside my starter house until I build the actual farm. It is also a great place to dispose of your excess saplings. I tend to collect a full stack for planting and then turn the rest to meal. TLDR: Bone meal setup: Chest Hopper Composter/ Hopper/Double Chest/Ground

[@oo7sk8punk]

As person who just started playing the game, these were helpful tips, though the amount of iron is daunting... Maybe I just got unlucky on the seed, but it's taken many hours/deaths to find and accumulate enough iron for the hoppers and buckets 😅

Instead of a line of water with trap doors, where the line of water went, put dispensers instead, facing your farm. Put water buckets in the dispensers. On the line of wood behind the dispensers, directly touching the back of the dispensers, put a line of redstone. Then at the end of the redstone, put a stone button on the block of wood. Pushing the button will set the redstone off, making all the dispensers release water to wash over your farm. Push the Button again to make the dispensers suck the water back up.
