Infinite Fuel & XP Kelp Crafter & Farm For Minecraft 1.21.4

[@Smonjirez]

Nice tutorial! I do have two tips: put the redstone for all the pistons in last, so they don't keep making noise and move you around while placing the water. Second tip is a personal preference; I would use slabs upside down instead of signs, saves a lot of effort compared to placing down signs and also holds back the top layer of water, while also being able to be waterlogged. You do need to remove the slabs afterwards though.

[@SekaarMC]

The pistons moving is def annoying, but I made the choice to add it first just to simplify building so i didn't have to show everyone you need to go back and add it. the goal was to help prevent confusion. second tips is a good idea but only if you have almost every plant has an observer, since the signs also prevent the kelp from growing too high and messing up the water flow, that or having the height of the farm be about 26 blocks, so that kelp cant grow high enough to mess up the flow. thanks for the feedback regardless :)

i dont even play minecraft these days but your videos are so satisfying to watch haha

[@SekaarMC]

Thank you glad you enjoy them

[@kevinfant8948]

Well done, constrution well explained, could do with explaining why something is done the way you do it and the mechanics behind how it works for those who are new to such a build. I build most of my farms at the bottom, so I have to build from the bottom (storage chests) up instead of digging down for part of it. Thanks for the video.

[@H1GGZ-OFICE]

Hello. I’ve tested your farm on Bedrock and can confirm it works, but there’s a catch. Put a lever in the Redstone line behind the farm and flicker it, that’s the only way it’ll activate it. That’s one lever for each observer line. In any case your farm is longer than shown in the video, use a repeater or add a second system with red stone blocks. I tried making a different one but it didn’t work as interned so this really helped me a lot, considering I connected it directly to my super smelter. Thank you.

[@SekaarMC]

I have an idea how to fix it, for each observer get 2 more so its more costly then my original design, remove the dropper and the second observer that looks into it. now you should have only 1 observer that is in the wall looking at the kelp in the farm, from here place 2 observers looking into that one so you have 3 in a line, then the last observer looking down in the last, from here place a block where the stone redstone line is and add the redstone on it and on the observer, here's an image to help imgur.com/cFulJO5 Sorry that i didn't work fully, I don't have bedrock to test it and so only make it for java.

[@yoBojangle]

Damn bro. Such a good tutorial. Thought it was on all versions and ended up making the entire material list and doing the sorter to realize it was Java only. Unfortunate. Great tutorial otherwise.

should work if u can get the pistons to extend, you might need to move how they are powered. but i dont play bedrock so cant really test

[@yoBojangle]

@@SekaarMC yeah I was messing around with the sorting system but couldn’t get it to work. I’m not the most redstone inclined though.

@@yoBojangleI don’t know if you have managed to get something sorted regarding this farm but there is a great and much easier way of building this farm on bedrock, JcPlayz does a fantastic tutorial you can checkout, he’s a great bedrock channel:) hope this helps you out

It do work in bedrock with a little bit of more wiring. Although you should use the 0 tick version in bedrock. It's faster & material efficient.

[@MaRAX_1]

maby i did something wrong but there are no kelp blocks in the dubble chest i dont understand where they are ?

[@MaRAX_1]

okey they are landing in the smoker but how should they land in the dubble chest ??

[@SekaarMC]

@@MaRAX_1 they do go in the chest but are taken from it to the smoker, once the smoker is full and the hoppers are then the chest will be left with excess. I believe i explain this when discussing blocking some of the slots on the hoppers to speed this up.

[@j-robspoketalk8054]

Hey bud, cool video! Is there anyway to shoot the left over kelp blocks from that double chest to somewhere else with this design ? Like I want the smoker to stay full but want the rest to go to a storage system (kelp farm is in industrial district)

[@SekaarMC]

yep, you would remove the chest and replace to with a water stream surrounded with glass, have the water go over the hoppers (so that what the furnace uses is replenished) but then the rest can be moved to other areas of ur industrial area. if you plan too have the kelp for many things i suggested mirroring the farm and having a 2nd kelp farm feed into the originals collection channel. i have a second design on my channel that ii made recently u might find helpful if u want to upscale ur production

[@j-robspoketalk8054]

@ so I already have a farm, it’s four sections that are fairly big lol. I’m gunna run 2 sections into this, I’m actually smelting up some dried kelp now, I had put a hopper on top the dropper. And then the double chest is over a block and I have a second hopper coming out lol. But I think ima change it to the water, better idea. Thanks for the answer man! Ima check out some more videos once I’m done !

[@MrJaras36]

Help needed - for some reason, the hopper from the small chest that collects green kelp, has stopped working - it doest feed the kelp into the smoker. It was getting blocked up with 5 stacks of kelp. I tried to make it work with blocking it with iron boots, but it still doesnt work. Any suggestions? :D

[@MrJaras36]

and second issue, some of the kelp is getting stuck above the pistons on the second level, which reduces the efficiency of the farm. Again, any suggestions on how to fix it are welcome :)

[@MrJaras36]

update: I now undestand, that the composter on the piston is ment to slow down the kelp output into the smoker. But the remaining issue is that some kelp is not flowing to the surface.

[@clemensleitner414]

Thanks for the tutorial. Would you know how to split the output of the farm so I can automatically connect it to my smelting system?

[@r3bbid]

Hey super useful farm and cool design! Im just wondering, how could I extend the smelting process? I made a second farm to add on to the side and now I almost got way too much Kelp that it can't really keep up anymore, is there any easy fix to just add another smoker to the autocrafter or is that not really possible with this setup? Great vid though!

[@SekaarMC]

so u can prob modify it, but would def change it a decent bit, i have example in my 1 vs 100,000 kelp video kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6PEgIprfL-VetU

[@r3bbid]

@@SekaarMC alright thanks for the help ^^

[@MrHollyster]

Can I build another one mirror-like next to it with the water stream in the middle? So the center part is common for both of them (droppers, observers, redstone line for the upper part)?

[@SekaarMC]

you can but the furnace is close to its limit. so you would end up with more kelp then it can cook, (about 400 extra per hour). if your not a fan of that you can modify the cooking area to be more like my more recent kelp farm, kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJKTnKyEia-aoZo

[@MrHollyster]

@SekaarMC Thanks for the reply! The reason I'm thinking about that is after the system was full of kelp blocks, in 3 hours it generated 2 stacks of kelp blocks, which is correct I think, but I went to check the system a few times in these 3 hours and almost every time it was paused because there was not enough kelp in the input chest :/ so I thought another farm would solve it.

[@SekaarMC]

@@MrHollyster it def would, but yeah i designed the farm a little under the furnace speed, if i was to re do it, id prob make it like 5 blocks longer to try to make it more even.

[@MrHollyster]

@@SekaarMC okay, that makes sense. Thank you for the info, I will try the second farm and then I will extend the furnace system if necessary. And thank you for your videos! :)

[@NickolaConagher]

Built this, but the kelp drops don't go high enough and stay stuck just above the pistons. It looks like the kelp tries to go up but suddenly gets pulled down.

[@SekaarMC]

to help fix this you need to get a few buckets of water and place them just above the pistons. (it is caused by some of the water not being source blocks) alternatively you can break the redstone and place kelp until its at max height and then break it all again.

[@swaggy9732]

would slime blocks work instead of packed ice?

[@baro.brn8]

I don’t know why but the sticky piston wont move with the composter on top any tips?

[@james_laughs9308]

So I'm playing on Bedrock. I was able to follow you guide but I split the observers on 3 on either side of the hopper and connected everything via redstone. The observers will not activate for some reason so I had to build a lever into the design and I have to manually activate it for it to work. any ideas?

[@caesar1885]

hey i don't get it, where do the piston get signal from? and do i have to activate the farm manually?

[@Weirix]

Good tutorial. I actually made this with a few tweaks, but more importantly... I have it 129 blocks long. with all 4 rows. and i made it taller so each row can theoretically grow 14 high... I'm kinda afraid to touch it now though cause, when full, its like over a double chests worth of kelp lol

haha it will go overboard, might a bigger crafter setup but will see. Glad you liked it. I make a version 2 later thats bigger and wont require signs

[@Rzb-iu1mg]

the dropper on top of the crafter doesnt put the blocks into the chest and idk why i double checked everything

[@SekaarMC]

usually it will, but then the hoppers will remove it and put the kelp into the furnace, so double check to see if the kelp blocks in the furnace are increasing or not. if it is its all good!

[@SekaarMC]

the chest wont fill up until the furnace and hoppers are full this can take a few hours

[@Shawndalion]

thanks for the great tutorial video! i am curious how to increase the amount of smokers to be able to keep up with the amount of kelp coming in especially when you do the other side of the farm

[@SekaarMC]

you can def modify it, since double sided is over a smokers 720 cooks per hour, you dont need the chest anymore to store kelp before you cook it, easiest would be to have a hopper line onto the smokers. i have a video where i show this off but its not a tutorial so you will need to pause and look etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6PEgIprfL-VetU skip to about 1:20 in the video.

Hello, thanks for this nice tutorial i have one question, Some Kelps get stuck on the signs and therefore do not flow upwards, is there any solution for this?

that is caused by gaps in the water, if its at the level of signs, you will need to shift click with a bucket.

[@sparks4463]

im a little late but for some reason only half of my water is flowing onto the blocks that push it into the glass stream any ideas of why this is happening and how i can fix it?

did you place all the signs first then the water on top? you should of been able to see if any water was missing when you completed that step

[@imteenagerimyourdad6505]

That's a very useful farm! thank you for sharing it with us! But I have a question... How is this an XP farm and how can I collect the XP?

[@JackStott-px4lo]

Smelting

[@SekaarMC]

each time it cooks 10 kelp that is 1xp, to get the xp out you can take an item out as it smelts, ether you can wait and try to be fast by spam clicking, or find a spot you can put a lever on to block the hopper below the furnace

[@gabaa1366]

ive built it works fine but sometimes the smoker just does not get the kelp , the hopper is full but its not putting it into the smoker , any ideas ?

[@SekaarMC]

the chest needs about 5 stacks before it allows the smoker to recieve kelp, this is to prevent fuel wastage, a small downside is that excess get stuck in the hopper. but it is running as intended.

[@GenericRandom]

hello. i recently copied the auto crafting setup from your farm for my already existing kelp farm, and i gotta say it works perfectly. I only have one issue: the dried kelp block chest does not have any room to add an additional hopper into it (which i need because i wanted to take out the blocks to fuel another farm automatically). I tried to come up with something but my skill issue body blocked me. Do you have any advice on how i could solve my problem?

[@SekaarMC]

hmm, the design is very tight and compact so it might be tricky to do, i would replace the fuel chest with a water stream and then have that stream go to ur next farm, the crafter to dropper will shoot the kelp block into water, it will get picked up by the hoppers for the furnace to make more, any excess (once the hoppers fill faster then the furnace uses fuel) will end up going to ur other farm. I kinda do have examples of this in my 1 vs 100,000 kelp video u can find on my channel its not the same setup but might help you see how to do it.

[@GenericRandom]

@@SekaarMC yeah I thought about that but a part of the cheat is needed to refuel itself (if I understood ur sistem correctly) and idk if the water stream would cut it for that

[@connorlouw7580]

You can just use a simple observer clock to power the crafter as dried kelp can only be crafted into kelp blocks

[@SekaarMC]

Yeah you can and it will simplify this, but that does cause continuous updates. I'm not sure the impact on performance but id assume its worse. I'm personally not a fan of building anything that "fires" when its not needed to.

Hey nice tutorial, i've followed easyly. However I have a problem, the hopper that sends raw kelp to the smoker don't work and only store the kelp.

do you mean to send the kelp to a different farm or such?

[@oyaoya5200]

Would be nice if you show us the EXP producing part, i wonder how much/fast I will get

[@SekaarMC]

to get the Xp, you need to climb into the redstone area and take the cooked kelp out of the furnace you might find it easier if you add a lever to a empty side and activate it. this will stop it removing the cooked item (remember to turn it off or the farm will stop) as for how much its about 60 per hour. so its not a xp farm to replace an actual xp farm, but will let you repair ur mending items once and while. Hooking the cooked kelp up to a cactus farm would easily give you more then enough xp tho.
