Build a wheat machine: bone meal grows it, a water flush harvests it.
Farming by hand is for beginners. Build a machine that grows, harvests and delivers wheat at one press.
- New skill Dispensers with bone meal and water
- Level 6 · Inventor's Lab
- Difficulty Intermediate
- Mode Creative
- Time 40–50 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Build a wheat machine with dispensers full of bone meal over a row of crops. One button grows the wheat golden; another sends a wave of water to sweep the harvest into a hopper and chest. Time your cycles, improve one thing and beat your record.
Finish line: Your two-button wheat machine fills a chest, and you've got a wheat-per-minute record to beat.
Bonus challenge: Add an observer watching one crop, wired to a redstone lamp. Every time the wheat grows a stage, the lamp blinks. Your farm now has a heartbeat!
You’ll need
- Dispensers
- Bone meal
- Water bucket
- Wheat seeds
- Hopper and chest
- Buttons
You choose
- My machine's name
- Where the GROW and HARVEST buttons go
- My bet for wheat per minute
Stuck?
- Water not reaching the end? It only flows about 7 blocks, so keep the row short.
- The wave washes away seeds too: replant the row after every harvest.
- Press HARVEST again to scoop the water back up, or the next crop can't grow.
