What you’ll build

Build a glowing farm tower that grows up, not out. Each floor gets one water block in the middle, farmland all round and bright lights overhead. Stack five floors with a different crop on each, then harvest and compare with a flat field.

Finish line: Your five-floor sky farm glows with light and water, and you've counted a harvest.

Bonus challenge: Add a 6th floor with animals or a beehive. What's the new crop total, and how do you get the animals up there?

You’ll need

  • Seeds of 5 kinds
  • A hoe
  • Water buckets
  • Bone meal
  • Glowstone or sea lanterns
  • Ladders

You choose

  • My tower's name
  • Crop on each floor
  • My lights (glowstone, sea lanterns, lamps)

Stuck?

  • Crops not growing indoors? They need bright light, so add more glowstone or sea lanterns to the ceiling.
  • One water block keeps farmland wet up to 4 blocks away, enough for a 9×9 floor.
  • Ladders need a solid block behind them, so run them up a wall.
