Automatic Cactus and Bamboo farms! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide S3 ▫ Tutorial Let's Play [Ep.44]

The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 3 continues in Minecraft 1.20!
This tutorial will show you how to build automatic farms for Bamboo and Cactus. Remember that these farms come in many forms, and these are just two of many possible designs.

Cactus is a vital resource as your only source of pure green dye, and is also the food used to feed and breed the new Camel mob, so it's worth knowing how to get hold of large amounts (beyond just collecting it from the desert).

Bamboo is now a wood type as of Minecraft 1.20, so it's worth creating a farm for it so you can use the wood for building. It's also viable as a fuel source for furnaces, used to craft Scaffolding, and can be used to breed Pandas!

Grian and Scar recently demonstrated that you can also trigger a target block using your face and some velocity

I havent played MC in probably 5 years. But Pix vids is part of my morning coffee routine. They are still so entertaining

[rachel.]

Somtimes i listen to this in class or while i play minecraft or when i do hw or even going to bed. These vids are oddly comforting

[FighteroftheNightman]

Sweet. I just started a fresh world and a bamboo farm is actually a really good idea for an early farm so I can use the bamboo for fuel and keep coal for torches as my daughter and I go caving a lot when we're playing together

[shakilaabraham]

The water color transition on the water fall back there is beautiful

[fjolliff]

❤ gotta love the classics! We've been using this design for cactus farming for years! I can't even remember exactly when it became a thing.
And the bamboo farm is a nice update from the classics too!

[FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule]

I've been playing Minecraft for years but never really cared about the more redstone type minecraft stuff, your series has really been helping me a lot with caring more for the redstone side of things. Easy farms without the hassle or fear of more "technical" builds! I've been farming bamboo manually and only today was like "well... some sort of red stone farm would be nice" and the video shows up! I aint got a skeleton spawner, but the passive option seems perfect!

[AnOpinionatedMan]

Thank goodness another week and another episode!

[andrevenancio]

I love to watch your tutorials. I play quite a lot but fail to have the memory to remember everything. So constantly on your channel. Also your voice is quite relaxing! Keep it up

[gyldanword]

I love that you're in England, lol. The episodes come out right before I wake up at 5 am in Montana, US. I love watching these with my morning coffee. :)

[vaibhavmishra]

11:00 Hey Pix! You may add a filter for the poppies to be turned into bonemeal.

[jackrobinson]

I remember old days watching pixlriffs to get started. This is so nostalgic

[theloudtenor]

Thank you for this, Pix! I tried building this w\o the dispensers, and the output was absolute pants-a few hours AFK, and only a handful of stacks of bamboo.

[TName]

Wake up babe, new survival guide just dropped.

[TheRealWormbo]

You can actually put the sand blocks into the water layer, the water will flow favorably around them. Making a cactus farm lossless is just not worth it, though. Just have more cactus plants and it compensates easily at the same building complexity, compared to something like the hopper minecart solution.
That bamboo farm is a really nice contraption. Although the hopper lines are completely overwhelmed by the active mode, with each plant growing at least twice as fast as its hopper can handle.

[Slaikkarinaj]

6:37 You can avoid the falling cacti getting destroyed by the cacti below if you stack the whole platform with waterways on top of eachother. Obviously a bit more resource heavy, but build effort is pretty much the same as just stacking the cacti since you need blocks under the sand anyways.

Important thing to note: the Target Block trick to redirect redstone doesn't work on Bedrock.
Well, to be more accurate, it DOES redirect the redstone pointing towards it, but the Target Block can't be powered from an external source on that version. So you would need another method to deliver redstone power to the blocks below the Dispensers.
Parity plz, Mojang! ^.^

There's a few ways to deal with this Lever opening and closing this Trapdoor. The first one is moving the Lever to the side, this way it won't flip the front Trapdoor. You would still need to remove the Trapdoor to the side, but that can be done without ruining the aesthetic of the design too much.
You could also move the Lever to somewhere else that would still power that Piston, without powering any Trapdoors.
Or another trick that can't always be used, but works in this case: keep the block touching the Trapdoors always powered, by having either another Lever or a Redstone Torch right below it.

[ToastNBlocks]

I remember his Hardcore series, was certainly cool to watch and come back to

[sharkdentures]

Very cool.
My bamboo farms tend to be more generic. (like the sugar cane farm) But I might need to try this fancier version sometime.

[DavidStrchld]

I use a cactus tower farm which is 4 of them arranged in a plus design with a cactus in each of the ends of the plus, and the middle the breaking block. This extends as high as I need, sometimes up to build limit. The major advantage is there is much less loss of cactus landing and breaking on other cactus. The disadvantage is that it's a bit harder to build and after a certain height the water catchment has to be expanded as the higher up pieces will overshoot a basic collection pond, though walls could work here as well. I also use torches to help grow them at night as well.
