    Minecrafter Engineer - Megan Miller

    INTRODUCTION

    DESIGNING AND ENGINEERING NEW, CREATIVE SOLUTIONS is one of the best parts of Minecraft. Farms are a great place to start! Of course, you can have plenty of fun in Minecraft without the farm designs in this guide. But if you like making ingenious contraptions or you are a bit tired of manually harvesting stacks and stacks of sugar cane to trade for emeralds, these are the starter farms to set you up very well in your early game.

    Don’t worry: You don’t need to be a redstone expert to make these farms or understand how they work. It will all be explained! To make some of these contraptions, you will need to have mined redstone and iron and just a little quartz. But once you have a moderate supply, you are ready to tinker up some farms and reap the rewards.

    This beginner’s guide also includes technical drawings and diagrams to help show where blocks go. Engineers use technical drawings, schematics, and blueprints to specify exactly where mechanisms are placed and how they are built. Two examples of how these can help: Elevations are drawings that view a model from the side, front, back, or top. Cross sections look at just a section of build, often in the middle.

    Don’t forget to share your Minecraft engineering accomplishments with me online. If you build any of these farms or other custom engineering designs, I’d love to see them! You, or a family member, can tweet me at @meganfmiller to showcase your work.

    Smart-Start Engineering Tips

    PROTECT YOUR BUILDS! MOST REDSTONE ELEMENTS (SUCH AS REPEATERS, REDSTONE DUST, AND MORE) WILL BREAK AND FLOAT AWAY WHEN TOUCHED BY FLOWING WATER. AN ACCIDENTAL PLACEMENT OF WATER CAN WIPE OUT YOUR BUILD. WHEN YOU DO BUILD A CONTAINING STRUCTURE FOR YOUR FARMS TO PROTECT REDSTONE, MAKE SURE TO LEAVE SPACE BETWEEN YOUR REDSTONE ELEMENTS AND THE STRUCTURE. THIS STEP HELPS PREVENT PLACING BLOCKS THAT COULD INTERFERE WITH A REDSTONE SIGNAL. THE EXTRA SPACE WILL ALSO ALLOW YOU TO MOVE AROUND THE BUILD IF YOU NEED TO CHECK OR FIX LATER.

    ALSO, REMEMBER TO LIGHT UP YOUR BUILDS AS YOU GO. A CREEPER IS JUST AS INTERESTED IN BLOWING UP REDSTONE AS IT IS IN DEMOLISHING YOUR BASE.

    LEFT/RIGHT/FRONT/BEHIND THROUGHOUT THESE CHAPTERS, I USE THE WORDS LEFT, RIGHT, IN FRONT, AND BEHIND TO DESCRIBE WHERE BLOCKS ARE PLACED. THESE DIRECTIONS ARE FROM THE POSITION OF THE VIEWER, YOU OR ME (OR THE CAMERA), AS WE LOOK AT THE IMAGES. SO PLACE A BLOCK TO THE LEFT OF THE HOPPER MEANS TO THE LEFT OF THE HOPPER AS WE ARE LOOKING AT IT IN THE IMAGE.

    IN THE IMAGE ABOVE, THE REDSTONE IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE TNT, AND THE LEVER IS TO THE LEFT. THE STONE PRESSURE PLATE IS IN FRONT OF THE TNT, AND THE REPEATER (AND THAT CHICKEN) ARE BEHIND. AND YES, IF THE CHICKEN STEPS ON THE PRESSURE PLATE, THE TNT WILL EXPLODE.

    CHAPTER 1

    SEMI-AUTOMATIC HARVESTER

    THIS EASY-TO-MAKE HARVESTER USES WATER TO BREAK your crops—wheat, carrots, potatoes, and beets—from their farmland and carry them to a chest. It’s a classic contraption, often one of the first a Minecrafter builds. You can configure it to be as large as you like. The farm is staggered in platforms, or terraces, that allow a stream of water to flow down each terrace to the collection area.

    How It Works

    A row of dispensers is positioned above the crops. They each hold
