Mushroom farm in Maincrafter – a special structure for growing and quickly farming brown or red mushrooms. They are mainly used in cooking, creating dye, and also for decoration. Mushrooms in Minecraft can be obtained in various ways, but growing them on a farm is the easiest and most convenient way to farm the resource in the required quantity.
In this guide we will tell you in detail how to make a mushroom farm in Minecraft. Read on to learn the detailed process of building simple and advanced farming mechanisms.
In addition to farming mushrooms in the game, you can build farms for production tree, stone, gland, cane, bamboo, cacti, vegetables, bone meal and gunpowder.
How to grow mushrooms in Minecraft
In Minecraft, a mushroom farm will help streamline the production of this resource due to the fact that it has natural generation. Building a complex for farming this material is a simple task - it is completely unpretentious, and its reproduction and collection can be fully automated. The main resource that is generated on such farms is the brown mushroom (milk mushroom) and the red mushroom (fly agaric). Below we note a few points regarding the growing process:
- Brown mushroom and red mushroom can be found in the mushroom biome, in the swamp and in the podzolic taiga.
- Additional method of receiving ordinary mushrooms - this means cutting mushroom cows, destroying a huge mushroom, as well as trading.
- mushrooms love dark places and do not need water - look for them in caves or under trees.
- Light level above 12 destroys grown mushrooms and prevents new ones from growing (with the exception of using podzol as soil).
- This plant can grow on any hard surface, for example, on rocks, sand, ground or grass.
- Warped Fungus and Crimson Fungus are a type of mushroom, but cannot be cooked from them - they grow in the Nether and turn into huge fungi.
Mushrooms are used for cooking, creating decorations and generating other useful materials.
How to Build a Simple Mushroom Farm in Minecraft
A simple mushroom farm in Minecraft has basic mechanisms for automation and a compact structure that allows you to easily farm a small supply of mushroom resources, but you will have to accumulate enough materials for construction and come to terms with the low production rate. The principle of operation of the mechanism is based on the propagation of plants onto adjacent blocks of soil, which make it possible not to take into account the level of illumination, as well as the connection of an observer and a sticky piston, which allows you to immediately clear the earthen blocks of the grown resource.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
Simple and straightforward construction process. | Difficult to build from the beginning of the game - you need a supply of resources and key components. |
Compact building. | During construction, it is worth paying special attention to assembling the automation mechanism. |
Automated process of collecting finished material. | Ugly appearance of the farm. |
You can expand the farm if necessary. | Does not work in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. |
Preparation and selection of location
To make this mushroom farm, you need the following materials:
- Stone (any block) ×14.
- Slab (any half-block) ×9.
- Glass ×10.
- Chest ×2.
- Funnel ×1.
- Brown mushroom ×1.
- Red mushroom ×2.
- Sticky piston ×6.
- Observer ×6.
- Rails ×3.
- Electric rails ×4.
- Trolley with loading funnel ×1.
- Podzol ×9.
- Lever ×2.
The finished structure will take up little space - just select an area the size of 8 blocks in each direction.
If you are planning an expansion, then increase the length of the starting area.
Construction Stages
Follow these steps to get your farm ready:
- Make 2 parallel rows of 3 blocks.
- Place a large chest between them and connect it to the funnel.
- Run electric rails parallel to the chest, then connect them with regular rails above the funnel.
- On the side of the chest, place one block diagonally from two rows - attach a lever under each of them and activate them. Place a trolley with a funnel on the rails and make sure that it moves along them.
- Make two rows of podzol above the rails.
- Above the two completed rows of soil, make another one, right between them.
- Place 3 observers diagonally from one of the bottom rows of the podzol - they should look towards the top layer of soil.
- Place 3 sticky pistons on the bottom side, diagonally away from the observers, so that they point towards the ground.
- Make exactly the same mechanism on the other side.
- Make two letters “P” from glass, blocking access to the podzol on each side.
- Add one row of bricks above all observers.
- Plant the required set of mushrooms on the topmost layer of soil.
- Use slabs to create a roof and completely close access from above.
The construction process is presented in more detail in the video:
Farm inspection and testing
This mushroom farm works like this:
- Wait for new mushrooms to sprout in the soil.
- The observer will detect a change in the state of the block and activate the piston, which will knock down the mushroom and return the earth to its place.
- The destroyed mushroom will fall onto the rails, after which the trolley will pick it up and deliver it through the funnel to the common chest.
If time passes and the mushrooms are not grown, then there is some kind of error in the farm.
Farm improvement and optimization
We list the main tips for improving this design:
- If desired, podzol can replace to another suitable block, but then you will have to monitor the lighting level or lower the farm underground.
- The building can be extended, increasing the number of soil blocks and the length of the rail track.
- Protection from creepers and endermen will help to avoid breakdowns that completely deactivate the farm.
If desired, you can also change the external design of the building.
Frequent problems
We list the main problems and give advice on how to solve them:
- The trolley doesn't move – check that you are using the electric rail blocks correctly, and also remember to activate them using the lever, then remove and put the trolley back on the rails.
- Resources do not go into the chest – check that you are using a minecart with a funnel, and also that the simple funnel is correctly connected to the common chest.
- Sticky pistons don't work – in the Bedrock Edition, observers are triggered by updating a block, not changing its state, so this farm is only suitable for the Java Edition.
If you encounter other errors, then try to build the farm again, carefully following each step.
How to Build an Advanced Mushroom Farm in Minecraft
An advanced mushroom farm in Minecraft is a large and complex structure that is designed for fully automatic farming - a ready-made system controls the cultivation and collection of mushrooms, but you must have experience in assembling redstone circuits to achieve the right result. The principle of operation of the mechanism is similar to that of the previous design, but with one difference - here the collection of mature materials is carried out using a controlled flow of water.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
The farm can be easily expanded if necessary. | A supply of valuable resources is required. |
The finished building takes up little space. | During construction, it is worth paying special attention to assembling the automation mechanism. |
Automated process of collecting finished material. | Labor-intensive construction process. |
Great increase in resource. | Does not work in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. |
Preparation and selection of location
For a professional mushroom farm you will need the following resources:
- Stone (any block) ×40.
- Glass ×22.
- Chest ×2.
- Sticky piston ×2.
- Funnel ×10.
- Brown mushroom or red mushroom ×12.
- Podzol ×44.
- Bucket of water ×2.
- Hatch ×6.
- Redstone torch ×2.
- Redstone dust ×8.
- Redstone block ×1.
Sufficient space is required for construction: width ×12, length ×12 (upward expansion is possible, so take this into account before starting construction).
Construction Stages
Follow the instructions and carefully study the screenshots to build this farm:
- Make two squares of podzol next to each other with sides of 4 blocks.
- Add three rows of podzol - one between the squares and one more along the edges.
- Plant the necessary mushrooms on the top rows of soil.
- Using glass blocks, add edges to one side, leaving one opening on the left and right.
- From the ground side, place two hatches in the gap left, then open them.
- Go around the back side of the building and place two blocks and two redstone torches diagonally near the central row.
- Place one glass block next to the torches, then leave one hatch on the soil side and open it.
- Complete the glass edge and do the same on the other side of the torches.
- Pour water in front of the hatches on the torch side.
- On the opposite side, in the center, plunge the large chest into the ground.
- From each of the two free openings, dig a ditch to the chest and fill them with successively connected funnels.
- From the side of the torches, retreat a few blocks and build a foundation of 8 blocks in the center - two of which are located at the edges.
- Place piles of red dust on high places.
- Create an automation mechanism using 2 funnels, 2 sticky pistons, 2 redstone comporators and a redstone block. The funnels should be connected to each other, and the comparator columns should not be touched.
- Make a stone staircase to the red block.
- Place 30 stone blocks into the funnel.
- Use red dust to create a path from the redstone block to the torches on the farm.
More detailed steps are presented in the video:
Farm inspection and testing
Let's describe how this farm functions:
- Rows of mushrooms multiply from time to time into adjacent cells to the ground.
- The drainage mechanism works like a clock counter and lowers the hatches from time to time, after which the water washes the mushroom crop to the funnels.
- A chain of funnels delivers the finished resource to a common chest.
If some time has passed and the chest remains empty, then there is an error in the design of the farm.
Farm improvement and optimization
There are several ways to improve the truss design:
- This building can be expanded by adding additional tiers, which will significantly increase the number of mushrooms obtained.
- Using additional materials you can transform the appearance of the structure.
- If the building is located in a dark place or underground, then podzol can be omitted and replaced with another type of block on which mushrooms can grow.
You can leave additional tips for modernization in the comments.
Frequent problems
Let's name the main problems associated with mushroom farming:
- Water flows through closed hatches – similar mechanics are available in the Bedrock Edition, so you only need to build a farm if you play through the Java Edition.
- The chest remains empty – if the mushrooms grow, but do not fall into the box, then some of the funnels are not connected correctly and the chain is broken, which leads to a common chest.
- Automation mechanism does not work – try placing a button near the lower torch to activate the system with its help, and if everything works correctly, then disassemble and rebuild the mechanism with red dust.
If the tips presented did not help correct the situation, then try to reproduce the construction steps step by step again, constantly checking the screenshots and videos from the instructions.
Сonclusion
An advanced mushroom farm in Minecraft significantly increases material growth at the lowest cost, and the compact building can be expanded if necessary, which will allow you to scale the amount of generation to the required value. This plant is mainly it is applied for growing large mushrooms, cooking, creating decorations and processing into compost or dye.
