Get ready, as we are about to teach you how to make an automated wheat farm in Minecraft.

Resources You Need to Make a Wheat Farm

In this guide, we will make only an automated wheat farm. If a manual farm suits your needs better, follow our guide onhow to grow crops in Minecraft, where we show you a simple way to farm crops without automation.

With that out of the way, let’s look at all the items you need for an automated wheat farm:

Make an Automated Wheat Farm in Minecraft

When you gather the needed resources, follow the steps below to make a wheat farm. This is a pretty small farm, but you can easily expand it if you need more resources than it provides.

1. Collection System

2. Drop-off Station

3. Main Part of the Wheat Farm

4. Setting Up the Villager

We are almost done constructing the wheat farm. All that’s left is to bring an unemployed villager inside the farm. They’ll become a farmer and get ready to harvest all the wheat.

Moreover, if you don’t have enough seeds, you can use the fortuneMinecraft enchantmentto get extra seeds per harvest.

The villager will walk up to the composter every once in a while and make bone meal from these seeds. If this keeps happening, the villager will easilyrun out of seedsand start picking up the wheat.

So, to prevent this, surround the jack o’lantern with trapdoors at the top half. This will stop the villager from getting close to thecomposter.

A great sign that the farm is functioning properly is when the villager leaves seeds on the ground. This means they cannot pick them up as their inventory constantly gets refilled.

If you ever notice that the farm is not working, the reason may be that the villager started running out of seeds and therefore started picking up wheat. So, fill their inventory with seeds again.

Why Should You Make a Wheat Farm?

Wheat is a multi-functional and rather important item in Minecraft. It can be used to craft bread, one of the easiest to get food items early game. Moreover, it’s also food for certain animals such as cows and sheep.

You can breed these animals and get an even better source of food and other relevant items such as leather andwool. Wheat is also used in crafting hay bales, wonderful decorative blocks that are also food for the horses and llamas.

In addition, if wheat is combined with mud in thecrafting table, you can make packed mud. This already great building block can then be turned into mud bricks. It’s is a fairly amazing block that goes great in the block pallets with terracotta and jungle wood.

If you reached the end of this guide, congrats! You now know how to farm wheat. Wheat is a pretty useful item, so making a farm for it in Minecraft can only help you in the long run. With that said, what do you think about this farm? Did it help you in your world? Tell us and all of our readers in the comments below!

Technically, no. The wheat doesn’t have to be exposed to the sky, but the crops do need light to grow. So, placing torches or any other light source block that you want inside the wheat farm will ensure that crops keep growing.

No, the crops won’t grow if a chunk they’re in is not loaded. So, you need to stay in an area around the wheat farm for it to work.

The crops grow faster if the farmland they’re planted on is hydrated. However, if that farmland already has a water source block nearby that keeps it moist, the rain doesn’t actually do anything. Only in the case of your farmland not being hydrated does the rain speed up the growth process. Though it’s not really a good idea to wait for rain to hydrate the farmland when you can do it yourself with a bucket and infinite water source.
