11. Automated Villager Crop Farm (Carrots/Potatoes)
What This Idea Means
Farmer villagers harvest crops when their inventories are full and try to share food with other villagers. By trapping an hungry villager nearby, you can trick the farmer into throwing crops into a redstone hopper collection system indefinitely.
How to Make It
- Build a fully enclosed farm plot with hydrated farmland and lighting.
- Place a Farmer Villager inside with a composter and plant either carrots or potatoes.
- At the edge of the farm, trap a second villager behind a hopper setup protected by a trapdoor.
- When the farmer harvests and attempts to throw food to the trapped villager, the items fall directly into the hoppers instead.
Tips & Variations
Pro Tip: Make sure the farmer’s inventory is filled completely with the specific crop you are farming before starting, so no seed or crop mix-ups occur!
