Minecraft 1.8: Fully Automatic Carrot Potato Farm with Villager AI

[@TangoTekLP]

So simple, yet so brilliant. I love this!

[@Unarybit]

Hey Tango! Many many thanks, your awesome :) Normally I'm redstoner but I'm kinda only make videos about "simple" and easy to build things... Bring Slappy back! ;-)

[@thinknoodles]

Great design, after I'm done building my Gold/XP farm, I'm gonna need some carrots.. This looks ideal! =)

[@sushi6097]

Hi think

[@Unarybit]

Wow that's cool... thank you very much Think! :) You have one true subscriber more ;-)

[@nick_does5600]

Awe crap that cool

[@MippyMoo]

oh yeah that's SOOO cool gotta do that once unbanned from Minecraft lol

[@varrnas]

why are you banned from Minecraft?

[@cubfan]

Wow. That's brilliant.

[@Unarybit]

Hey Cubfan! Thank you very much :) Hmm... I thought I was subscribed to you, weird...

[@JL2579]

really nice trick with the farmland always luring the villager!

[@Unarybit]

Yeah I love the villagers, they are so easy to manipulate... ;-) Thank you JL!

[@neonsloth]

Wow^

[@docm77]

Made it today on the Mindcrack Server. Sized it down a bit and Squeezed it above the villager breed;-) Works great!

[@ForsetiTemplarJaster13]

.......Why the fuck didn't I think of that!!! XD

[@Unarybit]

***** I have just seen it, you're awesome... thanks again buddy :)

[@astrogirl1usa]

It's a real honor for Docm77 to use your design. Good job Unarybit!

[@Unarybit]

Astrogirl1usa lol... :) Thank you, yeah I think I was just lucky that I have released the video to the right time and that the farm fits so well in his World Cup thing... But to see a design from me built by Docm on the Mindcrack Server is definitely a honor for me! :)

[@xHadesStamps]

Glad you returned to HermitCraft in season 6, unlike the rest of the former MC players.

[@nanorex_gaming]

The string updating the plant is genius!!! I've always wanted a way to prevent them from going into idle mode and now I'm so hyped!

[@Unarybit]

Yo yo... hype hype :)

[@Unarybit]

But please take a look in the world download, the size and shape of the farm is very important...

[@nanorex_gaming]

Unarybit Wow, it looks like a lot of effort went into the design of this farm! Will you be doing a tutorial?

[@Unarybit]

NanoRex Yeah it looks simple, but there were tons of tests required. Maybe I'm doing a tutorial, but first I must complete another video ;-)

[@MaizumaGames]

*Beautiful!!!* Another ingenious design to remind us why we're subscribed to you in the first place! Thanks for your work man!

[@Unarybit]

What a beautiful comment ;-) Yeah it was really work. It has taken a lot of time to test all this out. Thank you Cass :)

[@douglasandrade1871]

Unarybit ridiculously brilliant. +1 subscriber guy, you definitely rock! Maizuma Games what about one of that on the huedstone? A small one, maybe 50 levels only hahaha

[@Unarybit]

Douglas Andrade Thanks man :)

[@pyraliron]

GUYS. IF YOU ARE BUILDING THIS FARM, THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. The non farmer that you put into the holding cell CANNOT have any carrots/potatoes/wheat/bread inside it's inventory. I learned the hard way. XP

[@WanderingNoob93]

only if its a farmer you put in holding cell, seems like the best candidate to put in holding cell in a non farmer filled wih seeds

[@Kangarilla10101]

This is the best thought out tutorials i have ever seen on you tube. Applauding to you my friend for your amazing quality. Cant wait for more!

[@sangomalsa]

Wow, just wow... Glad I found your channel. Don't think anyone has come up with such a reliable farm design with the new villager AI so far.

[@Unarybit]

Hey...thank you very much :)

[@falfiya]

Love the creativity of getting the villager to dispense food into the crop chute. Great work!

[@Unarybit]

Thanks :)

[@NachoElCraftero]

Nice farm Unarybit, so good!

[@Unarybit]

Hey thank you very much... awesome! :)

[@MiniMadScientist]

Who came here from xisumavoid ? I just came here, and the videos are amazing!

[@WoolyCreeperLP]

You always showcase the most interesting mechanics. This is genius. :-)

[@Unarybit]

Hey Wooly! Thank you very much mate :)

[@Unarybit]

Talal Waleed What you see here is the maximum size platform docm has built them a little smaller, everything else is the same. In the non-redstone and redstone version are 2 pieces of string. One string to place the carpet and one string to activate the piston / uprooting the plant. Please check the world download for more information...

[@talalwaleed2849]

Yeah thanks i just made the redstone version u had and it's working pretty good

[@ronaldoalvesdeoliveira4424]

uuuuu

[@CarlosRamirez-jz7hf]

Can you make this next to an iron farm

[@Scott5445l]

+Carlos Ramirez Bump for this, because im currently about to build both.

[@DrakiniteOfficial]

This is so brilliant, Unarybit!! You upload so rarely, but when you do upload, you always blow my mind! I have used your infinite villager breeder countless times, because it is so simple and looks great. I am definitely going to use this one!! It's way simpler than any other I've seen.

[@Unarybit]

Such comments make me continue. Thank you Drakinite! If you need a compact villager breeder for 1.8 come back in 2 weeks.... or so :))

[@DrakiniteOfficial]

Unarybit Whoo!!

[@Graphoniac]

\o/ Yay to see you back! My SMB chat all talking about you, and my sub box didn't bother alerting me. Thanks, youtube. *hugs to Unary*

[@PierreMiniggio]

Hi Graph :D

[@Graphoniac]

Heya Catoon. :)

[@Unarybit]

Yeah KZbin is sometimes strange... Thank you Graph & and cookies for your SMB chat :) Oh man... that hug... must breathe... muuust breeeeathe......

[@laverdashafa365]

very fun to see a villager doing his job without pay

[@Xx7YRANNYxX]

Just finished building it in my survival world and it is works perfectly. Thanks Unarybit. Well done.

[@RonnygoBOOM]

I loved this. Your editing is unlike anything I have seen on youtube. Where do you find your music and do you create your own animations or do you use presets from some program?

[@Drakkart]

i was tinkering with such a system for so long but never could manage to prevent them to go into lazy mode so i figure it has to do with your uprooted plant how does that make them go infinitely? Anyway great job!

[@Unarybit]

Hey Drakkart ... :) A villager goes into idle mode, if no player is in range (32 block radius) and he has nothing to do. But by uprooting the plant in the middle he is always busy. But he must be in a certain range, to see the plant and go out. It's all explained in the World download. Thanks again buddy :)

[@aydenknowles2555]

my villager isn't throwing the carrots to the other villager

[@ultimateredstone]

Really smartly done! Great job :D

[@Unarybit]

Hey Ultimate thank you buddy :)

[@KoalaSteamed]

Great video! You might not upload videos very often, but you definitely put a lot of effort into them when you do :)

[@Unarybit]

Great comment! Thank you very much :) Yeah it was a lot of work to find all the stuff out...

[@PierreMiniggio]

Nice :D Another video ! Been a while. Sorry i didn't went into doing your enderfarm tutorial. I kinda lost intrest in minecraft lately ;(

[@Unarybit]

Nah... we all have our lives and a tutorial about it would have been a lot of work. And in 1.8 the enderfarm no longer works anyway. So don't worry... Thank you Cartoon! :)

[@PierreMiniggio]

Unarybit There no ''R'' in my name :P But i don't mind anymore, everyone does that midstake lol xD

[@Unarybit]

CatoonTheCat Damn... every time I have written your name before, I thought "don't write the R nooo doon't write the R..." ;-) Sorry Catoon :)

[@PierreMiniggio]

Unarybit np i don't mind anymore as everyone get cought by the fact there is no ''R'' in my IGN :P

[@PierreMiniggio]

Unarybit I'm loving the music though :3

[@777static777]

That is an awesome design!

[@droliaf]

I just found out you are making videos again. Sub feed, y u no work!?

[@Unarybit]

Ah great... thank you Static :) You are actually one of the KZbin's why I tried Minecraft out and inspired me to make videos...

[@AethernaLuxen]

Bruh, almost all minecraft videos look like actual product advertisements now I mean, it looks like it will say 30% sale today at the end of the video

[@Richardlau160]

Damm man xD, you get some really big youtubers commenting on your video's great job!

[@Unarybit]

Yeah it's sooo awesome :) Thanks man!

[@YouhouFK92]

I love what you do :D and your choice of music really good too :)

[@zaxxon4302]

After seeing Xisuma build this I just had to have a go. My base is mainly underground, and it slotted nicely in between the Sheep Farm and the tree farm. So I dug a hole (that took 4 days of my Minecraft playing time). Then in one day I built this thing. Awesome!!! In a few hours the 6 double chests are approaching FULL, and I moved a double chest to a more friendly location. This is one of the best farms ever! Why? Because it actually farms your food. I have 3 gold farms, so I can get a shed load of gold nuggets (and also ingots in one of the farms). So golden carrots as food, I love tata tots as a food source also (unless in a stress combat situation), but my world is so far along now, I mostly control when combat occurs. Wonderful build, I love it.

[@zaxxon4302]

To start with, it went great. Then I made a hopper system to send the carrots & potatoes to my trading hall. In no time at all, trading with 3 farmers, I used just about all of the six chests, and as I also have Xisuma's melon & pumpkin farm feeding the system too, I converted everything to just over 2 stacks of emerald blocks. Now, I want these 4 farmers to work harder LOL, as I trade the stuff so fast it will never fill the system. Thank you very much for this farm.

[@Unarybit]

ZaX XoN Thank you very much for the comments. :)

[@NickolasShely]

I didn't try to design something like that, because server I play is still 1.7.5 but when we update, I will definitely do this farm. Thanks a lot.

[@Unarybit]

Yeah go and build the farm everywhere... ;-) Thank you very much man :)

[@superlazor]

Great video as always! Keep up the good work :)

[@Unarybit]

Thanks! The next video will not take too long... :)

[@KyleKraft]

Love this design! About to build it in my survival server. Any recommendations on how to get the villagers into the middle cages in survival? And will it run full time in the spawn chunks?

[@caizeach9239]

Did that intro smoke crack? Btw great video. Thx!!!!

[@gratedmars4238]

instead of using redstone a the centre you could just have a door so the villager farms all day and when it turns night he runs inside the door and throws the carrots at the other villager. I tested it and it worked!

[@Unarybit]

Charlie Laing Hey :) Yeah that was one of my first ideas I've tested. It is much much much more inefficient...

[@thepigglesworth]

Awesome farm. You hath earned thine self a sub!! :D

[@Unarybit]

Thanks man :)

[@Unarybit]

...and woman! ;-)

[@thepigglesworth]

:P

[@nqmb]

Great content as usual:)

[@TheNoerdy]

If you have more villages around the area, you can get the farmer to harvest crops quicker, but I need to do more testing.

[@Unarybit]

I think that's max. The farm can't be much bigger, because the farmer would not see the farmland in the middle and goes in idle mode after a while. The size of the farm is perfect for one farmer, with two farmer the plants would not grow fast enough.

[@MrBlockmeister]

Hi Unarybit. Love the simplicity of this design. I have one question though, doesn't the low light level of 7 near the other villager mean that mobs can spawn there? It would be bad news if a zombie spawned there.

[@Unarybit]

Thanks :) Mobs don't spawn on farmland...

[@MrBlockmeister]

Unarybit Thanks. I didn't know that!

[@DoctorNok]

Unarybit I was going to ask the same thing. I'm glad it is already answered. I didn't know that about farmland either. Great

[@wanga10219]

Just for comment. From time to time the villager in the center caught food from brown-robed villager, so I filled the inventory of the center one with seeds, that makes sure he/she would not pick up anything.

[@delson84]

+wanga10219 This is an amazing idea if it works. It would help make the farm failsafe against patches that might result in villagers gaining food.

[@PentaSkittlez]

Does this actually work? Wouldn't the farmer stop giving food to him then?

[@wanga10219]

Fortunately, seeds are not considered as food. Thus the brown-robed villagers think they are hungry, and it is reasonable. Also, I have tested it in SSP (1.8.9) and SMP in a 1.9.2 Spigot server.

[@astrogirl1usa]

This design is very nice! I don't usually comment on your videos, but I've been subscribed for some time now. Although I am not that experienced in redstone, or even Minecraft; I feel that even I could do this. Thanks!

[@Unarybit]

Yeah I think everyone can build this farm, that was one of the main things in this design. Yep I know you and I have you as a nice person in memory. Big hug for you and your son...

[@astrogirl1usa]

Unarybit Thanks Unarybit, from the both of us... :D

[@cetazoo]

This is so friggin smart, I've gotta give this a try in my own world. Thanks for the vid!

[@Unarybit]

Thank you :)

[@Ednoria]

In the 1.9 snapshots, the villagers are a little taller. I can't directly place a block on top of their heads, so I used a piston instead. However, I used glass, and it seems like this might allow them to pick up food occasionally if it is dropped from higher levels. I'll have to try a solid block -- this is too good a design to give up!

[@nathanryan4145]

+Ednoria I've tested by increasing the vertical separation between the farms by one block. That seems to have done the trick. The non-farming villager can even be standing on a bottom-half slab, rather than carpet, and the farming villager will still attempt to share food.

[@Unarybit]

+Ednoria Hey :) I have copied this answer here from another comment: Because of fixing the hitbox bugs, the villager stand now correctly 0.0625 higher on the carpet. So the Villager can now catch the food from the water stream. You only need to make the water stream 1 block higher and place a full block where the water source was before. He can not catch the food from the farmland. I've also seen that food which is thrown by the villager can now land on the slab. Maybe we should replace them with trapdoors.

[@Unarybit]

+Nathan Ryan Yep It also works with bottom-slabs. At that time I decided to use carpets, to make it more compact and because the chances are higher that the farmer throws food, the closer he is to the other villager.

[@anazopyreo1]

Sometimes the potato on the piston doesn't get dislodged. I haven't been able to figure out why, but this does cause my farmer to become idle.

[@BaumMiner]

I had another version. you could use just fence instead of carpet d the villager on top, cause the farmer will throw the carrots slightly down, if they are at the same hight and just 1 block gap. but the idea with the luring is just brilliant

[@Unarybit]

Thank you very much :) I have tested several versions also with fences, but that has made ​​the farm not stackable or at least unsymmetrical. I decided for the version with the carpet, because it was the most effective (the closer the farmer is to the other villager, the more likely it is that he throws food). and he throws it under him, which gives good building options.

[@WOLFEMAN10000]

super cool! thanks for the idea :D

[@trumangouldsmith5764]

new sub :) just amazing work you have

[@jordendarrett1725]

Best food farm ever created in Minecraft, probably :)

[@yifuding8388]

good work, you deserve more subscribes

[@Che8t]

i've built two of this identical design in the same world. One for potatoes and one for carrots. The one for carrots works fine, the one for potatoes just refuses to work and it has been driving me insane. The villager will plant new crops, but will never harvest and will never throw food to the other villager. I know his inventory isn't full because I've made him place all his seeds until he can't place anymore. I know the design works because it works for carrots and it's the exact same for potatoes. I've even swapped out both of the villagers out of frustration and even the new ones refuse to work. The villager is a farmer, mob greefing is turned on, there isn't a village nearby and the farms are far enough apart. Everything that should make it work is there, it just refuses to work.

[@serbiffyclegane4729]

did you ever fix this problem? my potato farmer just quit harvesting as well

[@xHadesStamps]

Do you have farmland too close?

[@dingyitao2547]

Awesome! It's really useful but in survival it takes ages to dig such a big space, but it's really worth it!

[@tryntrox]

That's the hottest design i've seen , you deserve more views for your work

[@Unarybit]

Thank you very much for the compliment. :) But I'm actually quite happy with what I have. I mean I only have 9 videos and all released with long intervals in between. Sometimes I wonder why people stay subscribed at all...

[@tryntrox]

Unarybit it's because you come up with brillant ideas and designs. designs that few people would even think off. you have to persevere and keep working and you'll be B.I.G BIG on KZbin

[@gonsalo101]

Step by step tutoriaal pls

[@ren96706]

Watch nathan ryan

[@AageV]

after i finished building this, my villager wont farm anything made it exactly the same. EDIT*: When you build this make sure mobgriefing is on on your server ;)

[@naturalyamazing]

Very cool build. I built this on my SMP server and it worked like a charm for a while. I build it inside of a mountains exactly as is with a viewing gallery. After a while the villager harvesting stops doing anything and is constantly trying to pathfind out of one side of the farm. I don't know where he wants to go. There are no villages nearby, nor any breeders. Ive replaced the middle villager to no avail. I have a 2 layer minecart wheat farm 20 blocks away from the outside of these farms and those villagers are having no issues. I'm at a loss :(

[@AageV]

You should make more video's, your designs are always so effective and useful!

[@JakeHillion]

Great design. Quick question: the server I play on can be quite slow at villager stuff, but carrots grow at the proper rate. This means that one farmer villager is leaving probably 60% of the carrots grown at any one time. Will it break the design if I add an extra farmer per layer?

[@xHadesStamps]

No, but they could push each other into the wall of the fooder eventually after loading and unloading it. That would allow them to share.

[@Deshiba]

So, I've had issues with endermen teleporting in there when it rains... Can I actually place halfslabs next to the glowstone to stop them fromdoing so?

[@Unarybit]

Yes you can, and that is a very good idea... thanks man :)

[@Deshiba]

Unarybit Just realised that it'll also make it build able in the end, which would be a nice feature for people on servers. With the whole different dimensions don't interfere with sleeping thing.

[@MilanRubiksCube97]

Deshiba It's very useful to build it in the end because you can trade carrots and potatoes to get emeralds, and then trade emeralds for dia chestplate/pick shovel/ axe or lapis. Quite useful if you have an enderman farm nearby :).

[@catalyst1626]

2020 and I’m still here.

[@zapdosrai]

hey this design is damn awesome! I made this and it works fine... mostly. could you add an indicator that tells visually how far you can walk off and do your job without interrupting villagers job. that would really help me out maybe other peoples too.

[@HobbitGaming]

Very nice. I like your video style, subbing. ~Hobbit

[@magluf]

This is brilliant! Refreshingly brilliant, I mean. :) Loving it!

[@Unarybit]

Ha ha :) Thank you!

[@SellTheWorld]

Gonna see if this works in 1.21 Once again thanks for the video.

[@bouba0212]

Interesting and painstaking video. Great job, thanks a lot !

[@xXTheGodZeusXx]

Hi i'am having a problem I have done everything correctly but my farmer villager won't even harvest the crops at all he just plants the potatos if I break them. The 2nd villagers inventory is empty too. They just are idling. I'am running 1.8 Please help!?!?

[@Matsie36]

I'm doing the redstone design, mainly because I want a glass dome and as much light as possible.

[@greatjensen]

Hi this is a great Food Farm. I have applied the fix for 1.9 and it works well! Now i'm wondering, would the harvest not be faster with more farmers per level?

[@homiecraft4548]

This still works in 1.12.2 amazing design!

[@Snap2it.]

I have a version of the farm with one layer. It appears that the villager is unable to efficiently collect all the crops (the crops are fully grown and yet it takes him a long time to realize it). Could adding more farmers help, or would that break the farm? This being said, it's an amazing farm. Great work on the video and the farm!

[@warmonkeygaming9364]

hello my friend, i seem to have an issue with your creation. i built it on my server and all seemed good at first, the villagers were planting the seeds and such, but when i logged on next they seem to just refuse to plant any more or harvest any of the crops, this too me awhile to build and i was hoping that you mite be able to help me out, the design i actually used was made by Nathan Ryan but is still your creation, the server is in 1.10.2 btw

[@Tiger55855]

For some reason, the villagers aren't harvesting the potatoes, but they're planting them and tossing them to the central villager.

[@neonsloth]

When I did it something goes wrong, the villagers stop look at each other, then walk away

[@4203105]

Is there a difference between putting a villager on a carpet on a string or putting him on a trap door? It doesn't seem like there is and a trap door is less easily accidentally broken.

[@balaclavabob001]

Hey Unarybit , great video and nice explanation of the game mechanics behind the design. One question you may be able to help with ..... I've built 2 levels of farms , the farmer on the bottom is planting and throwing carrots really well but the farmer on the top level is just walking about . He visits the un planted spot right under the other villager but just stands there for a while and then walks off. My breeder is at least 80 blocks away and the whole thing is built in the sky over a taiga biome . I just wondered if you had any ideas what might be causing this ? .. thanks man

[@Unarybit]

Has the "upper" Farmer already planted, or does he nothing?

[@balaclavabob001]

he's planting and harvesting .. it's all potatoes and i've given him enough stacks to fill his inventory. I also took the farm down and rebuilt it next to the other on the same level but about 5 blocks away and it's still the same . I'll try a different farmer in there and see if that changes things... might take a while though cos farmers are pretty rare spawns in my world :) ... thanks for replying though dude .

[@Unarybit]

Johnny Allnight The villager in the middle has food in his inventory, so the farmer does not give him food. Please replace the villager in the middle...

[@balaclavabob001]

that was the answer ! I changed out the villager and it's working great .. at least 15 stacks an hour .. thanks for the help Unarybit , I really appreciate you taking the time to answer . looking forward to your next vid buddy !

[@5hirtandtieler]

This is absolutely amazing! 2 things though - 1, why cant it be within/near a village? and 2, an almost 20 second intro is like 15 seconds too long imo. If it wasn't for me having such a huge issue figuring out how to prevent lazy mode, I would have clicked out of your video after the 10 second mark. I say that out of helpful criticism, not rage :)

[@Unarybit]

Hey thank you :) The farm can not be built near a village (33-64 blocks radius) because the villagers then stop the "work" and make only one thing: find a way to the village ;-) It can be build within a village (32 blocks radius), but then the farm produces 25% less. And it is not 100% reliable because villagers can get into a "loop" where they always spinning around. They only come out of this loop if you push them from their position, or by reloading the chunks. So it's not fully AFK able...

[@Unarybit]

Because of the intro... I understand what you mean. The intro is only for special uploads, but currently I upload only those videos. If I start a Let's Play where I release weekly, then I would definitely choose a short intro. Thanks for your feedback I think about that, but not for the next video ;-)

[@5hirtandtieler]

Unarybit Yeah I actually had it built 60 blocks *under*, what the AI would consider a village (multiple houses with doors) and the villagers just ran near the edges most of the time. I destroyed the doors and they got right to work. So I'm guessing maybe it's 32 blocks in just the X and Z? Regardless, I'm just glad that I found the answer to their laziness haha.

[@Unarybit]

Aage Vdvet I can not reply directly to you.... What do the farmers exactly... or what not? Have you built near a village (64 blocks radius)?

[@iWadey]

Hi Unarybit I have tried building this underground is this possible? My villager is in place but he doesnt seem to want to farm haha

[@shefles]

iWadey Same for me :(

[@Unarybit]

iWadey shefles Yes you can build it underground here is a picture of my test: www.mediafire.com/view/jp9ywjnwwxt3mhn/Underground.png Please check if the light level is 7 above the middle farmland, that you don't build it near a village (64 blocks radius), that are no doors near the farm (16 blocks, that can create a village). Hope that helps :)

[@shefles]

This don't work for me and this is all data I have so far: My villager are at Y: 53, I traded with all 3 of them (after I noticed the where not picking it up), I use carrots and the guy to pick it up is an butcher. :/

[@Unarybit]

shefles All 3?

[@digitalje5u5]

Can you mix both carrots and potatos in the same field or do you have to separate each on a different level? Bonus question: Why can't you also plant wheat in these? Thanks!

[@agjaerkvnerkongklenvzelknf8427]

+Scott Thomas You can't actually use the both in the same field. I checked out another video that did extensive research, and turns out they will only plant what's in their first inventory slot. This happens to mean they only plant the first crop they pick up, so they would just harvest the carrots and potatoes, but only replant the first one they picked up. Wheat doesn't work as well because the villagers pick up the seeds and wheat well, but then have difficulties delivering the wheat. Basically, if you want to use wheat, you have to set up a really complicated minecart with hopper system that automatically collects the wheat. It's mainly because there are two drops instead of one, so villagers have difficulty understanding what they're supposed to do with the extra item.

[@digitalje5u5]

+Transfan Whovian Awesome. I've seen variations of this farm 100x but never understood why it was only carrots and potatoes. Now I know. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

[@accel8925]

Hey , a question, if we increase the number of farmers in each module , we increase efficiency? Because if we put more carrots will trap more and what not go faster ? And...Like Very Useful

[@accel8925]

X x Ax82El x X Minecraft Técnico & UHC A I'm sorry , if you put more than one in the same plant will begin to take food each farm and breaks xD

[@sharkdogs]

Hey Unarybit. I just wanted to know if you could do a villager farm for 1.8. May people say it's not possable but other people like docm77 have made villager farms but no tutorials for it. Thanks :D

[@Unarybit]

I have already a villager breeder for 1.8 and it's compact. Release is in about 2 weeks. The carrot potato farm here has been actually designed for the breeder to make it an infinite villager breeder..

[@sharkdogs]

Unarybit Alright awesome Thanks unarybit!

[@4203105]

There are quite a few spots with light level 8 in there. The wiki says that carrots and potatoes only grow at 9 or above. Does that matter for the efficiency of the farm?

[@Unarybit]

That's what the wiki says ;-) Plants grow from light level 8. But even if it were true, there are only a few spots with light level 8 compared to the huge platform. So it wouldn't lower the efficiency of the farm.

[@4203105]

Unarybit Yeah I noticed after planting that plants grew everywhere. Stupid Wiki. :D

[@MilanRubiksCube97]

Unarybit Can you use this to farm bread? Or the villagers will overflow with seeds?

[@Opprimor]

Newoo96 Yeah, in this case the light comes from above so the light above the crop is one higher than the light at your feet, which is what the F3 screen tells you; if it says 8, it's 9 at your head if the light comes from above, which means that it can grow according to the wiki, which is correct.

[@nanananannanananana]

Absolutly genius! I couldnt get my own design to work that well so far, now i trashed it. :)

[@Unarybit]

Ohhh ... I'm sorry ;-) Thanks man :)

[@BGOEaCy]

Fantastic design, i've been stealing a lot of them, from a lot of people who know what they're doing and you're one of them. Mumbo Jumbo is high on my list and of course impulseSV , you guys do a lot of great work. I build your farm design and it worked like a... dead turtle. I thought, perhaps there needs to be a village nearby, to make them willing. Nope, i read through the entire comment section and found the answer. You're villager in the middle needs to be free of food, perhaps something worth mentioning in the description and perhaps you will consider adding my solution to this problem, because it will save a lot of frustration and questions. So, here's the solution if you want a food free villager to stand in the middle of the farm, without having to turn a zombie villager back into a normal villager, or get a new one from a nearby village. Believe me, it works, i did it myself. Now what if you're villagers are fed while being bred, how will you know how much they hold? It doesn't matter, because if you breed your villagers with carrots or potatoes, you can totally clear out the brown robes , the same ones who do the farming, Don't use bread for breeding, because wheat farmers make bread from wheat and you will never be able to clear them out. Push a brown robe guy in a mine cart and on a 4 by 4 dirt patch, surrounded by another layer of dirt, so he can only move around in that area, by you pushing him around and of course a water source on the same level as the 4 x 4 patch, which you plow into farmland. When you stand in there with him and you push him around a bit, he will plant whatever he has in his inventory, which you can then harvest and this way, he will be completely empty at some point and ready to do his job in the farm, meaning, standing on a patch of carpet and look pretty. so i suggest breeding villagers only with carrots and potatoes, because wheat farmers make bread from wheat and you will never be able to clear him out. So once again, great work on the design and a BIG LIKE. btw, build it in your spawn chunks, so the farmer will never stop working, as long as your in the Overworld. Or use the mechanism that shoots an item into a Nether portal every 40 seconds or so, if you're in the End or the Nether a lot. I know there's a design out there somewhere, just can't remember who did it.

Hey thanks man :) Yeah... I had to explain a few times that the villager in the middle must have no food in his inventory, I added the information in the description now. To unload a villager with a brown robe, you only need to put him on a platform with farmland. He plant until he has no seeds in his inventory ;-)

[@BGOEaCy]

Unarybit My pleasure and i build your villager breeder, it works like a charm

[@kikiktagruk288]

Unarybit how did you get your carpet like that? btw nice video man!

[@xHadesStamps]

String under it. It's not very visible at that dist.

[@cavasinon9182]

Hello Unarybit, Sorry for that question (!) but, i've built the farm as seen on your video, like a good boy :D i put two villagers one farmer and one leather "thing" i've done exchanges with both farmer must at the 6 or 7 level and the other at the third and nothing happen, the farmer take and replant carrots but don't try to give to the other villager, do you have a idea ? ^^' Excuse my crappy langage i'm french. And Sure, thank you for all the work you make, it's clear and simple, continue à faire du bon boulot :p

[@Unarybit]

Please replace the villager in the middle. He probably has food in his inventory, so the farmer does not give him food...

[@lazyboi6419]

Unarybit Noooo lol the same thing happened to me I think but I have no idea what other villagers in my town dont have food in their inv's lol :/

[@cavasinon9182]

Unarybit Thanks a Lot ! It work like a charm :D

[@Kodo91]

Hello Unarybit, there is a problem with this design in the latest versions. I don't mean the farm but the villager breeder. If you check the villager in the minecart, who resembles the instant on/off switch, you will notice that he wont stay at his place. E.g. when the farming is activated (villager in minecart is on the upper part) after some time the minecart will move on its on and go back down. I guess the new villager hitboxes might be the problem. Can you think of a solution for that?

[@michaelman9446]

@EaCy Bgo do you even read the bloody description, if not do not make comments like that. Tell people to read the description instead. God does it bugg me when people don't read the description it's there for a reason.

[@Magidex]

Hi. I built this farm on PS4, (albeit the one with the pressure plate to block-update the center plot). and the Shepherd isn't tossing Carrots to the trapped villager.

[@MrYOMI1992]

It's not working quite like I expect. The villager would stop doing anything after he plant the whole farm. No gathering, no sharing food(throwing) with another villager. Do you might know why?

[@RimaNari]

So you mention a layer of solid blocks underneath the farmland is needed for mobs not glitching through... is this still a thing? And even if it is, wouldn't it be also possible to lower the ceiling so it's two block high, having the solid blocks at the level of the glowstone?

[@HeyItsMeDyl]

What are the hourly rates for each bread, potato, carrots for a single cell? Wanting to be farming a chest an hour or faster of bread. thanks and keep up the good work :)

[@Unarybit]

16 stacks of Carrots / Potatoes per hour. Wheat / bread does not work with this farm because the farmer has only seed in his inventory after some time...

[@HeyItsMeDyl]

Unarybit i have build a 10 layer one one a skyblock server an the villagers seem to toss seeds down the shoot wen full, im getting arou 20 stacks of bread an hour with 9 farms 1 is bugged atm thank you very much for the design :)

[@gumenski]

DylDawwg Just out of curiosity.. what the heck are you doing with the bread?

[@HeyItsMeDyl]

gumenski its worth alot of money on a skyblock server I play due to the time it takes to craft an farm, this has made me rich since I build it first, 40 or so farming cells on the go

[@gumenski]

DylDawwg If you're taking the time to build at this level why don't you just make a gold farm+carrot farm and sell golden carrots and gold? Bread is such a bad food source

[@Splodger1HD]

Hey, I'd like to thank you for designing this farm, it's proved to be really useful. I am having some problems with a couple of the ones I have built. A couple of the villagers aren't harvesting crops or throwing the crops into the collection system. This hasn't happened to the other farms I have built in the same area and I cannot figure out what the problem is, any ideas?

[@VrtraTheory]

Hey Unarybit, thanks for the awesome design! I have a question about the villages... Does that distance respect Y? My base has a standard iron farm (40-door) at each corner, and the walls are 80 long... The center of my base would be 56 away from all the doors... If I built this in the center of my base, 30 blocks up, would I be OK? Or do I pretty much need to build this well away from any iron farms / breeding centers / etc.

[@Unarybit]

Hey Elliot... sorry for the late reply, but I was really busy the last days. I think it's still to near, if I calculate it right then you have to go 50 blocks up to get out of the 64 block radius...

[@Richardlau160]

*Nice job m8 :-)*

[@iplayhockeyusa2614]

Dude amazing video I made this on a skyblock server and it's flawless GREAT VID man!!!.i subbed and LIKED!@

[@MrPaulHobby]

I came here thanks to Doccm. Great video, thanks.

[@ThatKoningAntonio]

This doesn't work for me the villager stops farming the carrots after time and when he is at the low light level farmland block he doesn't give carrots to the other villagers. He also goes in idle mode sometimes, please help

[@jsfeathe421]

I know this is from a while ago so I may not get a response, but anyways. My farmer is throwing carrots at the center villager, but is also still idling. Does that mean there is something in the center villagers inventory?? I wouldn't think so since the farmer does still throw carrots at him, but idk why the farmer goes idle

[@lenardvandermaas6893]

I've made this underground but the villager doesn't harvest and plant back, is this becouse I've build it undreground? lenardjee

[@meetpatel8864]

Does this also work with wheat?? thanks for the vid :D i love your vids

[@kolts7522]

My only problem is my first level brown coat gets distracted SO EASILY. It won't harvest ever, but my second floor is going crazy farming! Help?
