How to Build a Sugarcane Farm in Minecraft

Sugarcane is a valuable resource in Minecraft, used for crafting paper, books, and trading with villagers. Building an automated sugarcane farm can save you time and provide a steady supply of this essential crop. This guide will walk you through the steps to create a simple and efficient sugarcane farm.

Materials Needed​

  • Sugarcane
  • Dirt or sand blocks
  • Water buckets
  • Pistons
  • Observers
  • Redstone dust
  • Building blocks (any type)
  • Hoppers
  • Chests

Step 1: Choose a Location​

Find a flat area with enough space for your farm. Sugarcane requires water, so make sure you have access to a water source.

Step 2: Lay the Foundation​

  1. Place a row of dirt or sand blocks where you want to plant your sugarcane.
  2. Dig a trench one block deep next to the row and fill it with water. Sugarcane must be planted directly adjacent to water.
