That’s why you will find sugarcane naturally around the shore of the rivers.

Sugar cane farms only work when sand and water are placed together. So in this article, we are going to teach you how you can create a fully automated sugar cane farm. It is one of the most important materials in survival, whether it’s used to make books, make sugar, or trade for emeralds with librarians. Sugarcane is a plant that grows at the water’s edge and becomes increasingly necessary as you move through Minecraft. The construction of these farms needs some effort to set up, but after that, you don’t need to manually collect each item which will save you a lot of time.

Minecraft has seen several modifications over the years, all of which have modified how to create these farms in a better way.

That would seem to be a pretty arbitrary distinction between SP and MP, and it would not support my 'because of random block update ticks' theory.In Minecraft, automatic farms make your life simpler by creating resources that are available in the game. I imagine they won't, just like in single-player. If crops will grow in spawn chunks in multiplayer when no player is near. Golem farms will continue to function in spawn chunks in SP when no player is near.Ĭrops will NOT grow in SP when no player is near, whether you're in the spawn chunks or not. Items will despawn in spawn chunks in SP when no player is near. Crop growth, however, does rely on these random update ticks, which, to my understanding, do not occur when no player is near, whether you're talking about spawn chunks or not.īaby animals will grow up in spawn chunks in SP when no player is near. This is due, I'm fairly certain, to the fact that these things do not rely on random block update ticks. It does apply to SSP as well, at least inasmuch as that baby animals will grow up, items will despawn, and iron golem farms will continue to function. I'm pretty sure the loaded spawn chunks only applies in Multiplayer, not ssp. Do you have links to the videos you mentioned? I don't have the ability to test this at the moment.

I suppose it could be different in multiplayer. Just as it had been last time I did this exact same experiment, back in January. The cows had grown up, but the canes and wheat had not grown at all. Every single one is still only 1-tall, how I planted them. I waited over half an hour, until all of the canes had grown at least once, and most of them had grown twice. I planted some wheat, some cane, and spawned in some baby cows in a pen, then I TP'ed 1000 blocks away on both axes, and planted some more cane there. Baby cows grew up, but planted wheat and canes did not. Well, not nothing, but no crops, for sure. I just did exactly that, and nothing grew. Yes the plants will grow, I have tested it myself and have watched two youtube videos on it by Docm77 and someone from the Zipcrowd server (I think his name is Panda) Try planting some cane at spawn and just afk 1000 blocks away and test it yourself if you don't trust me. I was thinking about BUDs, which I use for my automated melon farm, but as JSPRINGY said, it was too resource heavy and I wanted to keep this one cheap since cane is so easy to harvest in the first place. My chicken farm worked a little too well and had to turn off the auto-spawn (a dispenser that fired eggs back into the pen). It fires every morning and spits lava out of a dispenser and sucks it back up to cook the chickens and put them into their chest. The daylight sensor works really well, I also use it for an automatic chicken population control unit for my chicken farm. This set it and forget it design only uses one row of 16 hoppers under the water in the bottom, 2 double chests, 15 Regular pistons for each row, a daylight sensor which fires every morning at 4AM or so, allowing the cane to grow through the day, red stone and red stone torches, miscellaneous building blocks, and for the look, I did put glowstone behind each plant, really pops at night. Some of it falls on the lower part where it grows.

It doesn't even collect 100% of the cane. I was just going for a 'compact' cheapish verticle design here.
