[Tutorial] Automatic Honey Block Farm! (Minecraft 1.21 Ready)

First built on Hermitcraft, this is a tutorial for my fully Automatic Honey Block Farm! This farm uses only a few glass bottles per farm which means no more gathering hundreds of sand blocks to get honey! The farm will automatically craft Honey Bottles into Honey Blocks, then returns the empty bottles to be reused. Once built, it requires no player input. It will simply produce Honey Blocks forever! Enjoy!

By the way, you can fill the item filters so that this uses even fewer glass bottles and honey bottles. For example, you can use 44 dirt blocks and 1 glass bottle for the empty bottle filter. You can use 1 honey bottle and 15 filler items for the honey bottle filter. I used a few extra bottles in case someone built this on a high latency server. Also, check the description for the full list of materials!

Thank you, Cub!

[@annieperdue6140]

I'm dyslexic, so I appreciate how Cub builds out both sides so you get to see the same process twice and mirrored

[@WBR44]

Please show Joel this. He just spent a solid chunk of his life digging and smelting 20k sand 😂

[@heatherreadsreddit8579]

I almost mentioned Cub’s farm on Joel’s video - to suggest that he speak with Cub about it - but didn’t want Joel to realize that all of his hard work was unnecessary.

[@harrycooke4699]

To be fair to Joel it wasn't completely unnecessary. This is a much smaller and slower farm, scaling it up to as many hives as Joel has would require a LOT more redstone components so it may well be easier to do it the way Joel did

[@rickyroadtv]

Do I need to build this right now? No. Will I build this in the future? Probably not. Will I watch and enjoy another cubfan video? Yes.

[@burke615]

The best part of the Hermits using the crafter is that Cub is back to making tutorials!

Love the slow pace tutorial for people who arent good at stuff like these in minecraft. Easy to replicate and follow!

[@Th3Psych0hippy]

Hi future me, aren't you glad you watched this like 6 months ago? Welcome back!! Also thanks cub for this video we needed evenutally!! lol

[@offsetmonkey538]

Oh, I just recently designed something similar! It's a lot more bulky and doesn't refill the dispensers 100% of the time. It has 4 nests in a row and I assumed they would fill at the same speed so I just shoot 4 bottles up and put one in each dispenser. They start to get out of sync but if you put like half a stack of bottles in each dispenser and check on it from time to time, it's fine. I'm still proud of it as it works and I came up with it fully on my own except for some basic things like the crafter and item filters. Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm excited to see how you tackled some of the bigger problems I had. Edit: Ohhh using a comparator in subtract mode for triggering the dispenser is so smart! I made some cursed thing involving slabs, redstone torches and repeaters. Mine was tileable, which this doesn't seem to be, so I guess that's a plus?

[@jasonb6570]

Babe, wake up! A new CubFan tutorial just dropped!

[@colleekitty]

Thanks Cub. Just made this farm and got my first 2 honey blocks, and bottles were recycled back into the system! Tutorial was concise and easy to follow. I like how the design is mirrored. Only (non) issue was that I put hives that were filled with honey already, so I had to manually bottle em to start the farm. The bee's got angry and there was a visual glitch, but went back to the hives and continued working, so no problem. I'm playing on the hermitcraft 10 world seed with all the mods you guys are using....auto crafters are so fun. Thanks again for the tutorial!

[@scarecrow7495]

Always worth mentioning, any honey farm is more efficient in the nether because bees in hell don't sleep.

[@cubfan]

True, as long as you spend the time to keep it loaded.

[@etherealcarnival]

Would a chunk loader work? Or do bees need player block ticks?

[@scarecrow7495]

@@etherealcarnivalChunk loader works fine 👍

[@puttanesca621]

Whenever other hermits ask for glass bottles for Bee farms I wish they would go and talk to Cub.

[@rachelkubacki1642]

YES! The tutorial I have been waiting for. Whoot! Thanks Cub. Your tutorials have been amazing! I have been building farms just to learn redstone in my solo world. *Adds another chapter to things Cub taught me*

[@lavinleitrim44]

Saved to my tutorial playlist. I'll definitely be building this after the update, my current farm, despite being from a tutorial where I saw it working, mostly just spits out empty bottles. The wax side works fine. But I need the honey blocks to hold my most used 'geezers' in place in the foyer of my trading mansion. It's become such a slow process it's just annoying me at this point lol.

[@LukeCunningham]

Trying to work through and retrofit my previous farm, this design is so good I almost want to start over.

[@jlynch1024]

Very impressive! Great farm Cub. Having to get a ton of glass bottles is such a pain.

[@purple9847]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@vibesdontcare]

I love hearing the thoroughness of his explanations of each redstone circuit. I wish he would make a a series about redstone circuits and tutorials with CUBFAN. I still have trouble understanding how to properly use comparators in subtract state, I understand whats happening to an extent, but I have a lot of questions. Also, I have always struggled with knowing where to add a clock to a certain circuit for it to perform the way I desire, etc.... There are a lot of great redstoners out there but I really wish someone went into GREAT detail about each block, common and useful circuits, how certain timings work with signal strength and etc. Cub is so redstone savvy I wish I could just pick his brain and ask him all the questions I have lol.

[@meynti]

Amazing! You are so good at redstone 😮

[@wolfsonb1853]

great tutorial, droppers are missing from the description material list

[@Starhunter1975]

Like how you mind puts ideas together. I think Etho will like your farm plus redstone is shinny.

oh wow i did not expect a tutorial on this

[@blueastrosailor]

At least Joel has lots of glass bottles to store his tears in

[@ruralkracken3000]

Thanks for the inspiration. I've created my own design. I love making new farms. I made mine a challenge as to be 1 wide tileable but it's expensive.

Was able to build this on Bedrock Edition but had to swap the note blocks for redstone lamps. Good ol’ bedrock bugstone.

You're a lifesaver

[@zach2973]

Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏

[@ruralkracken3000]

You can use crafter instead of composter a locked spot equals 1 redstone level.

[@hekewa]

nice

[@aquanote2694]

Will you make another vid when the official update drops

[@MrGameAndWatch_3]

Are your designs compatible on bedrock?

[@reecebgs1441]

what are the rates and how can you make it larger?

[@QuilXT]

With the datapack that are using on Hermitcraft to allow the autocrafter in 1.20 (but not allow trial chambers), how likely is it to corrupt a 1.20 world? They must have either faith that the data pack isn’t going to cause issues since they’re still playing on 1.20, or they have faith that they can fix it if it does. I’d like to use the datapack so I can get autocrafters on my 1.20 world to build this, but I’m leery about using the experimental features and potentially losing my world.

Shout out to Cubs effort for the materials list to rename stone to solid building blocks

[@MerkDolf]

🎉 👌 😄 👍

[@4NW3SH]

Can anyone check if this also works for bedrock?

[@Drac2point0]

works on bedrock just replace noteblock with another downward facing observer

[@AlphaJoker1427]

I’m assuming not but does this work on bedrock?

[@fashnek]

I do not recommend building this farm as-is. It gets stuck a lot and breaks (for me, I can only get about 3 honey blocks before it breaks). As the bees come out of the hives, they push through each other and then get stuck at an impasse, where neither one can return to its hive. You might be able to solve it by giving the bees more of an air pocket (use +4 glass to make it taller).

[@DisciplineHubb]

Same issue here, I extended the glass and trying again…

[@xontrol5678]

I think I did something wrong, on the first pair of item filters I put six bottles in and two go through, one to the hopper below and another to the dropper line. I finish the farm and run it somehow I’m missing two bottles… (Playing on bedrock btw)

[@xontrol5678]

Well I found the bottles, they’re in the dropper next to the dispenser up on the top of the farm

[@Vsh_-kq9yb]

does is work in bedrock?

[@FerranV_]

Did anyone build this in the nether and it not working for them too? when i place the bee nests the bees wont pop out

[@cubfan]

It should work continuously in the nether. Make sure there is nothing blocking the front of the hive/nest.

[@quinnjackson9252]

I would imagine that this does not work on Bedrock. Still a good tutorial though!

[@Drac2point0]

works on bedrock just replace the note block with another observer

[@bubgum9747]

can you make it have more bee hives, it seems quite slow.

[@cubfan]

Yeah. There is a tile able version. Just need the time to record it.

farm not working, produces a couple of blocks then honey levels becomes max and stops producing

[@cubfan]

Definitely still works as of 1.20.6. Be sure you have honey bottles in all the right spots and that they recycle via the elevator.

[@DisciplineHubb]

@@cubfan yeah i just double checked. They do recycle and I have the bottles in all the right spots. It's just that after a couple honey blocks made the honey level will fill up to max on the bee hives then the farm will jam idk whats happening tbh
