Farms in Minecraft

Farms are generated naturally in villages, and they come with farmland blocks, water, and at least one composter (with rare exceptions). Most farms generate wheat crops, but melons, pumpkins, and carrots can also be found. In addition, village farm plots have a 20% chance to generate with potatoes planted and a 10% chance to generate with beetroot planted.

A player may create a working crop farm in any biome in the Overworld or The End. A farm needs only a water source block near to farmland blocks, which are created by using a hoe on dirt blocks. Given sufficient light, seeds or other crops may then be planted on the farmland and grown to maturity for harvesting.

While a village farm is a good ready-made source of food, a village is not required for farming crops. A player with access to water, dirt or grass blocks, and a hoe may create a farm anywhere. For a typical early-game survival farm, a player uses a hoe to create farmland within four blocks of water and then plants seeds that were harvested from breaking tall grass. Once the crops have matured, they can be harvested and then used for food, trading, breeding livestock, or breeding villagers. Farmer villagers use a farm's composter as a job site. Farmer villagers can also be seen occasionally harvesting crops.

Farms generate in different configurations depending on the biome. Some farms have irregular shapes that can vary from the configurations shown below. Additional resources that make up the structure are available beyond the farmland, water, and composter blocks found in all farms. The following are the types of farms found in different biomes:

There are three variants of farms found in desert villages. The first has three patches of farmland divided by two irrigation canals and a composter. The second has farmland with an offset composter surrounded by jungle trapdoors. The third has a large farm surrounded by hay bales, two composters, and a water channel made of smooth sandstone. Players can grow carrots and wheat in these farms and can use resources such as cut sandstone, hay bales, jungle trapdoors, and smooth sandstone stairs.

There are two types of farms found in plains villages. The first is a large crop farm, with four patches divided by two irrigation canals and two composters. The second is a commonly-found small crop farm, with two patches divided by an irrigation canal and a composter. Players can grow wheat in these farms and can use resources such as dirt, oak logs, and water.

There are three types of farms found in savanna villages. The first has four patches separated by a walkway and two composters. The second has an irregular shape, dotted with dirt paths and a composter. The third has an irregular shape, with a single melon and a composter. Players can grow wheat and melons on these farms and can use resources such as acacia logs, acacia planks, acacia stairs, dirt, grass, grass blocks, and tall grass.

There are two types of farms found in snowy plains villages. The first is a farm surrounded by stripped spruce wood with a lantern hanging over the water and a composter. The second is a farm surrounded by snow blocks with a lantern between the water and a composter. Players can grow wheat in these farms and can use resources such as lanterns, snow, snow blocks, spruce fences, and spruce stairs.

Taiga villages feature three distinct types of farms. The first type consists of two patches separated by a meandering path, with a composter placed in the middle. This area is surrounded by pumpkins and two torches mounted on pillars. The second type of farm features a winding path on one side, with pumpkins, a composter, and two torches on pillars surrounding it. The third type is a pumpkin farm surrounded by cobblestones.

In the Bedrock Edition of the game, these farms can also be found in snowy taiga villages, and they are topped with snow layers where there is sky access.

Players can grow pumpkins and wheat in these farms, and additional resources such as cobblestone stairs, cobblestone walls, dirt, ferns, grass blocks, dirt paths, large ferns, mossy cobblestones, spruce trapdoors, and torches are available as well. The structure names and biomes for the different types of farms are listed in the data values table above.

In conclusion, farms are a vital aspect of Minecraft villages, providing a source of food and resources for both villagers and players. They are generated naturally in villages with farmland blocks, water, and at least one composter. While village farms are a great source of food, players can create their own working crop farm anywhere in the Overworld or The End using water, dirt or grass blocks, and a hoe. Different types of farms are generated in different biomes, each with its unique structure and available resources. Overall, farms are an essential component of Minecraft gameplay, allowing players to survive and thrive in their virtual world.
