A how to tutorial on a Bamboo farm that auto crafts blocks for you Join my Community on Discord / discord other sugarcane designs • What Is The Best Sugar...
Easy to follow redstone. Alot of tutorials on redstone often has complex explanations "this does that so make sure you put the whatamacallit facing the thingomajig"
It's a cool little build but I would always do my redstone on some type of block that's not a natural block that way if you're digging in the area from underneath or if somebody you invite to play with you is doing something in that general area the Redstone don't accidentally get destroyed. Plus enderman love to steal naturally occurring blocks
You are right, I will definitely make my tutorials in the future replace dirt with better blocks. My focus was to make the tutorial as simple as possible, and without having a lot of pre-work needing people to dig a specific sized area before they could start. (Instead just dig it out with me) and I personally play with a datapack that stops enderman griefing, since to me it really serves no gameplay purpose other then to annoy and there no real counter to stop it.
@@SekaarMC what I do a lot is I build my circuits with different color blocks. It will help you troubleshoot stuff in the future if an update comes out that breaks something. Plus it helps you and your viewers better understand how it works. I build a lot of one wide tileable custom circuits. Been watching a bunch of people's videos to try to get a better idea of how the crafter actually works. I've built five different any item Crafters that work well. Now I'm trying to figure out how to automate from my bulk storage with shulker unloaders and whatnot.
you can setup the sugarcane to go into its own chest, i just did not show setting that up. you can also only use 1 block of it for each observer if you want even more bamboo
I’ve tried and tried, but I don’t think this works in bedrock. I have watched the video twice(the auto crafter part) and my first crafter will not make bamboo wood. I have over 5 stacks in the chest, 64 in each slot of the auto crafter. If has worked for anyone in bedrock please let me know, otherwise this seems to be Java only.
you need to empty the chest and crafter then put items back into the chest, the crafter should never have any more then 9 items in it. or it will break, it can happen when ur building it. your other option is to put a lever to power the redstone dust line and spam it until the crafter is empty, this should also fix it.
it will take about 4 stacks of the previous item, so 4 stacks of bamboo before you get blocks of bamboo, and then 4 stacks of blocks of bamboo for planks to be made
@@SekaarMC i encounter a issue on the 2nd piston, its not retracting back, it remain stretch out, i have 11 stack of bamboo block, if i remove all the content it retract but once i put them back to the chest, it stretch out, any idea went wrong, i triple check my build and your tutorial but still cant find the issue. thank you in advance
@@SekaarMC i found the 1st crafter have 16pcs each slot, after i remove them it started making planks, il observed it abit more. but again, this built is amazing even the sugarcane trick to activate the pistons, minimizing the farm bulkness.
The chest will only put wool into the hoppers but then still the wool gets stuck in a hopper. Yes I have the hoppers pointing in the correct directions so I really don't know what it could possibly be
@@SekaarMC no. In the example you used wool, and so did I. After finishing the farm, only wool will go through the system, but even that doesn't reach the crafter. I put some bamboo into a hopper further down rather than the chest because it won't flow through the hoppers, and that bamboo made it to the crafter just fine. I went back through the video to see hopper placements and made sure of it
if you left it all sugar cane, i suggest you don't and put that into a different chest, if you have it mostly bamboo and leave 1 sugar cane per observer, then i suggest you build a impulseSV sorter for the few sugar cane from it, and run a water channel with ice and signs. along the back side (opposite the crafter) and have the drops join the others water stream.
do you have enough stacks in? eeach type needs over 4 stacks before it works. i diid this so you have access to all types when you visit the farm. but means the farm must run for a few hours before its all fully working
@@jasongonzalez3987 you need to reply them all, the redstone could also be bugged (the dust line) breaking it and then replacing can fix it, but yeah u need to empty the crafter competely before it should be fixed
no change to the redstone, just put the farm ontop of the other as shown at 12:38 - the items will flow and drop into the original water line and get collected. you don't need to build the redstone twice.
I'm guessing your from bedrock, you can use a different block, like planks or sticks, just be careful that it does not actually start cooking when doing the first furnace.
@@Battosai83 hmm.. sometimes that can happen when too many items come in quickly. usually when building it. try resetting it by emptying the first crafter and break the redstone wire and replace it.
sugar cane gets a block update every time its checked by random ticks (It needs 16 to grow 1 block) this means it triggers the observer about every minute, so with 2 sugar cane thats every 30 seconds. this allows the farm to be small, and cheap with only needing 4 observers, while still being fast, and you combo your sugar cane with it too so yeah. in contrast to get the same speed with just bamboo you would need to have the observers at the 2nd block height, making the farm ether taller or just fatter, and you would need 10 observers to match the speed of the 4 sugar cane observers.

this video looks super usefull im saving this video for until it officially comes out for my survival factory
Glad you liked it, I'll be posting designs for a few other farms soon
@@SekaarMC ok ill look out for them
earned a sub
Glad to have you around
can you do one for bedrock? i tried it on my realm the first crafter is not crafting and even if it did it dosent go up to the second chest
It's a cool little build but I would always do my redstone on some type of block that's not a natural block that way if you're digging in the area from underneath or if somebody you invite to play with you is doing something in that general area the Redstone don't accidentally get destroyed.

neat video but im confused on the point of all the sugarcane if its not being used? why not just use the one by the observer?
you can setup the sugarcane to go into its own chest, i just did not show setting that up. you can also only use 1 block of it for each observer if you want even more bamboo
Just curious if this will work on bedrock? With the crafter out now looking to make one of these farms because wood is my only problem lately
from my understanding it should, but I don't play bedrock so i cant test it
how can i fix the first crafter is only filling up and not crafting
I’ve tried and tried, but I don’t think this works in bedrock. I have watched the video twice(the auto crafter part) and my first crafter will not make bamboo wood. I have over 5 stacks in the chest, 64 in each slot of the auto crafter. If has worked for anyone in bedrock please let me know, otherwise this seems to be Java only.

nice tutorial, just wondering what condition do the 2nd crafter activate?
it will take about 4 stacks of the previous item, so 4 stacks of bamboo before you get blocks of bamboo, and then 4 stacks of blocks of bamboo for planks to be made
@@SekaarMC i encounter a issue on the 2nd piston, its not retracting back, it remain stretch out, i have 11 stack of bamboo block, if i remove all the content it retract but once i put them back to the chest, it stretch out, any idea went wrong, i triple check my build and your tutorial but still cant find the issue. thank you in advance
check the hoppers under the chest leading to the first crafter, and then also check the crafter make sure its not got weird items in them.
@@SekaarMC i found the 1st crafter have 16pcs each slot, after i remove them it started making planks, il observed it abit more. but again, this built is amazing even the sugarcane trick to activate the pistons, minimizing the farm bulkness.
thats good, glad it started working, i too had it weirdly get stuck at 1 point when i was testing it. hopfully it dosent happen again
The chest will only put wool into the hoppers but then still the wool gets stuck in a hopper. Yes I have the hoppers pointing in the correct directions so I really don't know what it could possibly be
Do you mean wood instead of wool?
@@SekaarMC no. In the example you used wool, and so did I. After finishing the farm, only wool will go through the system, but even that doesn't reach the crafter. I put some bamboo into a hopper further down rather than the chest because it won't flow through the hoppers, and that bamboo made it to the crafter just fine. I went back through the video to see hopper placements and made sure of it
@@ashtonwells12 i only place the wool inside the furnaces for the comparators to output a signal strength, no wool should be in any of the hoppers
additionally, if you have setup the furnaces and comparators correctly you will need 5 stacks of bamboo in the first chest before it starts working.
@@SekaarMC oh, that must be it. I only put 1 stack in the chest. Thanks man I'll let you know if it goes wrong again
Some of my bamboo gets trapped in the stair is there way to fix this?
if the stair is waterlogged like i show when building it, it will come back out of the stair but takes a while.
how do you feed the backside thats divided into the hopper?
if you left it all sugar cane, i suggest you don't and put that into a different chest, if you have it mostly bamboo and leave 1 sugar cane per observer, then i suggest you build a impulseSV sorter for the few sugar cane from it, and run a water channel with ice and signs. along the back side (opposite the crafter) and have the drops join the others water stream.
can i jus make the sugar cane bamboo or will that break it
yes for all it but the sugar cane infront of the observers in the farm.
the block of bamboo to bamboo planks converter doesnt work??
do you have enough stacks in? eeach type needs over 4 stacks before it works. i diid this so you have access to all types when you visit the farm. but means the farm must run for a few hours before its all fully working
Can you do this with sticks? Instead of wood?
if you mean crafting bamboo into sticks yes. if you want to use the sticks for a furnace its better to have the bamboo wood
@@SekaarMC It’s for trading, but, thanks! Very clear video.
oh right, makes sense, enjoy!
Im am in bedrock and were wondering about the first crafter filling up but not crafting and nit getting the pulse
I’m having the same issue
this can happen while building it, the best solution is to empty the crafter and chests then add them back to the first chest
having the same issue but replacing the bamboo blocks still don’t craft it just fills up
@@jasongonzalez3987 you need to reply them all, the redstone could also be bugged (the dust line) breaking it and then replacing can fix it, but yeah u need to empty the crafter competely before it should be fixed
How do i do The redstone if i want to Build a second layer?
no change to the redstone, just put the farm ontop of the other as shown at 12:38 - the items will flow and drop into the original water line and get collected. you don't need to build the redstone twice.
do i do the observers the same too? im struggling with that part on second layer
I cant put wool in a furnace please help.
I'm guessing your from bedrock, you can use a different block, like planks or sticks, just be careful that it does not actually start cooking when doing the first furnace.
Does this only work on Java? Trying it on bedrock and it won’t work
I don't believe the crafter is out in bedrock yet. but can you be more specific. what part wont work?
@@SekaarMC I’m in experimental. The crafter isn’t crafting. It fills with bamboo but doesn’t get the pulse to craft the block
@@Battosai83 hmm.. sometimes that can happen when too many items come in quickly. usually when building it.
try resetting it by emptying the first crafter and break the redstone wire and replace it.
I’m confused on what the sugar cane does?
probaly giving block update so bamboo gets harvest
sugar cane gets a block update every time its checked by random ticks (It needs 16 to grow 1 block) this means it triggers the observer about every minute, so with 2 sugar cane thats every 30 seconds. this allows the farm to be small, and cheap with only needing 4 observers, while still being fast, and you combo your sugar cane with it too so yeah.
in contrast to get the same speed with just bamboo you would need to have the observers at the 2nd block height, making the farm ether taller or just fatter, and you would need 10 observers to match the speed of the 4 sugar cane observers.
@@SekaarMC so theoretically i could put sugar cane on the 2 blocks the observers are looking at, then just have the rest all be bamboo?
@Hack3r_Dapp yep, I just thought showing you can link your sugarcane farm to ur bamboo would be better for the video
How i place the observer right idk
what one, the one for the farm or the crafters?
does this work on servers
Yes it should work on most servers including those running paper or forge
