Orchard - Modular Base Collection
Modular Base Collection - Orchard
AKA a hybrid vertical farm, the other plant farm unit of the MBC. Perhaps now it has a better name than the 'fruit farm', just want to make a difference with the crops one.
Features:
- Automatic AFK farm.
- 3 types of farms inside (melon, cactus and sugarcane).
- Modular, like the base.
- Super easy for maintenance.
- Able to convert excessive melons/pumpkins to bone meal automatically.
Updates:
- Added an automatic composter aside melon farms.
Version required: 1.14+
How to import (in vanilla MC):
1. Read the instruction about structure block on wiki.
2. Place the nbt file under {MC directory}/saves/{your world}/generated/minecraft/structures/.
3. Open your world and type: /give @a minecraft:structure_block 1.
4. Always Include Entities. If you load more than once, turn it off on consequent loads.
5. Load it into your world, structure name = file name.
6. If anything breaks, load it twice after 10 seconds.
7. Replace the structure block with sandstone and it is done.
8. It is also importable by WorldEdit, or anything supports .nbt files.
How to use:
- Nothing, for it is an AFK farm. Sugarcane and bamboo share the same type of farm space (i know bamboo needs no water, I made it so you can plant whatever you want), also melons / pumpkins. Cactus farm can only farm cactus ATM.
- May I mention you'd switch those levers above 'halt' OFF after loading it into your world. The only thing you need to do is to collect those plants periodically. Even if you forget, they can't rot in MC anyway, not like those in the Don't Starve series...
- If you have excessive amount of melons, toggle the lever off aside melon farm then you can get some bone meal while being afk. That composter is exposed for you, if you wanna convert anything else like sugarcane. Just FYI, bamboo can not be converted to bone meal, that's why I only made it on one side.
Caveats:
- Not the best-efficiency design, yet it is fully automatic. If you feel it too slow, you can adjust the farming interval by knocking off the chiseled sandstone blocks on the sides of the building and tweak the hopper clocks (by adding/removing redstone dust).
- That issue above is especially mentioned for the composter. You may not get even a single bone meal from each farming cycle, which is totally normal. Since it is an AFK farm, you may consider it as an extra source of bone meal income alongside with your skeleton farm elsewhere, and you can always operate manually if you can not wait.
~ The sugarcane farming concept is by xisumavoid(Youtube). Here I remixed the redstone parts and made it more compact than the original with some latest gaming mechanisms.
