Minecraft Bedrock - Semi-Automatic Cow Farm Tutorial (Xbox/MCPE/Windows 10/Switch)

[@Lkease]

Instead of two panes of glass, I used two trapdoors back to back. It provides a little platform for the cows to stand on/swim on, and the baby calves fall right through. Hope this helps!

[@user-oz3mh9sg4p]

Lukease I am confused how does it work

[@Lkease]

@@user-oz3mh9sg4p Instead of glass panes (which weren't working for me) place two trapdoors facing each other, then open them. They should make a little platform in the center, and water will still rush over it.

[@user-oz3mh9sg4p]

Lukease just sorted it thank youuu

THANK YOU

What type of trap door are you using? I find that they automatically close when I hit the Lava button

[@KittiWithKatana]

Thank you so much for showing the exact quantities needed. A lot of tutorials don't and it makes it difficult to know how much to get when you are playing survival. Great build! Keep up the good work!

Honestly.. i removed the whole cooking part of this farm. Changed the glass at the bottom for slabs and every now and then ill check on the farm and just hit the cows with a loot 3/ fire aspect 2 sword. Getting like 25+ cooked beef as opposed to just 5 if i used the lava. I mean.. you have to go back n press the button anyway might as well get x3 the resources by swinging ur sword a few times.

Just sharing something I found when I tried this on MCPE. On the breeding area at the top, build it only 2 blocks high, not 3. The "Feed" button won't appear if you build it 3 blocks high. Just put a couple of fences on top of the hole when you have enough cows in the breeding area so they won't bob too much when you turn on the water.

[@simonhornstra4557]

Yes found the same thing

[@MrFearless]

Simple, clean, and efficient -- an excellent design for getting beef. I really appreciate that you showed off modifications for those who haven't yet been to the nether yet. Thanks!

id suggest putting a glowstone or smth inside the small cow room, so there doesnt need to be a light update everytime lava flows. this might not matter in most worlds,but if youre planning to have a lotmof farms around, it will eventually

[@danielfitri6282]

for those that are reading this, as per 12/10/2023, this farm still works.

[@fuha1d373]

if the glass and iron fence didn't work like mine did just replace it with fence doors and open the right one and leave the other on and place slabs one block on top of the opened fence door "btw it leaves you with one block for breading "

[@toddcraft9377]

Thank you for taking time to make this tutorial possible man. That helps a ton

[@basicallyeveryone]

I finally got all baby cows to fall down. Each single one... This is how I did it... I hope I am able to explain in in a way that you are able to recreate. Instead of the glass window use trapdoors. But you have to arrange them properly. Place an extra block at the block which is underneath the one facing the water dispenser (if you've done it like in the video this block should be a stairblock). Place a trapdoor at this block, open the trapdoor and remove the block. The trapdoor should now be in the middle of the hole but closer to the dispenser. Place another trapdoor at the "stairblock" and open it. Place a third trapdoor above this one (the third one is now facing the dispenser) That way there will be only one block of water and baby cows won't get stuck on the second trapdoor. If you are feeding your cows while standing above the dispenser each cow which lands in the area without water tries to go back to the area with water and it becomes a circle of cows floating up and down. Baby cows will get pushed to the area without water and fall down, baby cows however which stay in the area with water after deactivating the dispenser will also fall down because there is no gap at the dispenser. That way I managed to get ALL baby cows down to the lava area. It also works with sheep. Grown sheep will start to stand on the third trap door but if you keep everything the hight like mentioned in this video they won't be able to escape.

Works kinda well on java edition. Baby cows wouldn’t fall through glass panes or iron bars for me so I used trap doors. Most of the babies fall through the trap doors but a few decide to stay up on the edge of the trap door.

[@ethanjohnson6071]

use end rods going across instead of glass panes works super well

I made a larger version of this with glass panes and trap doors. You can build a platform with this and it is easier to get a cow on a platform intead into a 1 x 2 opening :)

nice design, I used to use Mumbos mini one but didnt like the one hole for feeding cows and often leather or meat got caught and not picked up so really like this. Added to my farm list to put at far away bases once village update is released. ( not travelling too far until then on current world) edit. I ususally put a fence post above the cows bobing spot to stop me falling in...( dont ask, Its happened a lot! so wondered of ok to add that or will it interfere with feeding on this design?

[@RogueFox]

Yea, plus the one hole is hard to get them in there. I don’t think the fence post should be a problem up there

[@princesanjlnellie]

As Catafract III did, I did the same design as your Semi-Automatic Pig Farm for my cows. But this looks great too! :D However, I can't bring myself to do the same for my sheep...being able to harvest their wool over and over again kinda trumps having a semi-automatic farm for them...

I have tried this with glass panes, iron bars and now trap doors on PS4. The Iron Bars and Glass Panes don't allow the baby cows to fall through and the trap doors automatically close if I hit the lava button so I have to break the glass to open them again. Any solutions?

[@blueflame9076]

The only one that I can think of. but lead a different Redstone line inside of the place and replace the trapdoors to iron ones and place blocks above the lava line to stop it from interacting with the trapdoor line.

I found your channel a week ago and am so glad I did. Your bedrock builds are fantastic. Keep up the great work. You have a new fan.😀 I built your pig farm and adapted it into a single design that works for pigs, cows and sheep. I found that iron trap doors over the hoppers was the perfect height for all three animal types to keep the babies safe but burn the adults. Strangely I didn’t have the problem you highlighted with trap doors at the top. In my world the trap doors work fine at keeping the cows in with no problems breeding them, so I didn’t have to raise the top up another block. I play on the iPad so maybe there is a slight difference there if you play on pc or console. Great vids. It is so good to finally find a great player who puts out clear and effective tutorials for bedrock.

[@RogueFox]

Welcome to the channel! I’m glad you’re enjoying the content and finding it helpful! 😄 Really? That is really good to know!

[@NH-is8wl]

@@RogueFox I need to make an amendment to my earlier comment. While Iron trap doors over the hoppers do work to prevent baby cows and sheep from burning, on further testing I realised that the lava was burning the drops, so I couldn't make one design that worked for all 3. Using carpets for sheep and cows fixed the problem. BTW - loved your working BBQ. Works perfectly and a really elegant design.

I found a fix, rather than have panes, place one full block, and make sure that there is a hole in the other one, then, simply put a trapdoor on the hole, and the babies will fall through but the adults won’t (the trap door makes the cows think that it is a block they can stand on) you can close the trapdoor to breed the cows and reach the write amount in the top.
